We did expect it with his comments after the Chelsea match, were Bob said the linesman (sorry I can’t use referee assistant) Dave Bryan’s performance was “disgusting” & “horrific”.

After he allowed not 1 but 2 goals for Chelsea against Wigan at Stamford Bridge which were both clearly offside.

You know the rest Chelsea won 2-1, they maintain there drive for the top 4 and a Champion’s League place, so plucky and upstarts Newcastle have to work harder to get into the exclusive Top 4 club.

We can only wait to see what the FA deem is necessary?

Oh, adding to this though Mark Hughes has come out and said that officials seem to be lacking in certain departments and that Manager’s are losing faith with referees after well QPR had a player sent off for fouling a Manchester United player whilst he was in an offside position.

We can only see what happens from the FA, reckon we’ll get a statement from Mike Riley soon too.

News just in, apparently Mr Bryan who had planned to drive up to Blackburn Tuesday for the Liverpool match, has been told by the Premier League Match Officials (PGMO) that he can stay at home instead.
