Mike Dean steps up to referee the 2nd half of the Black Country Derby after Paul Tierney has torn his calf muscle
He only refereed Newcastle v Arsenal 24 hours ago
Thats Tierney finished for the season I would imagine.....
Yep, even a grade 1 calf strain you are looking at 2 to 3 weeks, so very little chance of him refereeing again this season.
Its a pity his season has gone so bad since the last internationals, injury which got him removed from Leicester v Man City, a shocker in the cup final and then this
Think you are being very harsh on Tierney here, firstly injury does not get you removed from a fixture, more you
Have to hand it in as you are not physically fit to do the game. Secondly you are being extremely harsh saying
He had a shocker in the carabao cup final.
Agree there is little chance he will referee again this season due to his injury picked up today, but there is no reason he shouldnt get lots of var appointments in the meantime.
On another point you made about referees pairing up, that wont work as there are three referees now appointed
To each game, on field referee, 4th official and var.
