But I don't think it's helpful for managers to start speaking about a referee's previous record, especially when referencing such a small number of games. You'd basically end up in a position where if a referee had one poor game they'd be stopped from refereeing that team again or need to consider the decisions they give against that team the next time they referee them which doesn't sound a good place to be in.
How many years did managers and the media keep going on about Stuart Attwell & the ghost goal, despite it being the AR's call. 15 years on & it still gets mentioned every now and then. Absolutely pathetic! If referees started talking about players and coaches mistakes in every game they had done with them previously they'd have no time left to referee games!
Anyone remember nigel bannister?
I dont expect managers have dossiers on when referees have performed well and eg because of advantage being played their team has scored a goal etc.
