Riley au sifflet

C'est Mike Riley, récent arbitre de Liverpool - Chelsea , qui arbitrera la demi-finale de Carling Cup contre Watford, demain soir.

Hopefully he will give us the decisions we deserve having had the time to reflect on his decision in that game.

cet arbitre est pour les monstres horribles et a souvent ete contre nous!!demain il sera pour nous?nan c impossible!c meme pas un gars neutre cet arbitre!si on peut appeler ca un arbitre bref demain arbitrage bidon comme dab ils font expres de nous mettre ce guignol a la fa..??

I thought he redeemed himself in this match.I am not saying he got everything right in this match, but I thought he refereed a tough match with a lot at stake for both sides with intelligence and calm. There were many occasions when he could have booked players. I thought that the fact that this match finished with no player having been shown a card, was a testimony to the referee. We all criticise these guys often enough, I just happen to think Riley deserves some credit here.

I would like to see a few more Refs follow his example and keep their cards in their pocket. Unless it is really warranted to show them.
