Which given the fact we have a 100% win record with him as referee has to be a good omen. ;)

His win % on Liverpool games is only 36% which isn't great but I would prefer him to Mike Dean, Martin Atkinson or Phil Dowd as those 3 can be nightmares.

Graham Salisbury has had his bad days, as well. Never mind, form doesn't always count - look at Chelsea and Arsenal against Swansea recently. Teams can be as unpredictable as referees.

Can only be a good thing for us, but refs love to look after premier league teams when they are playing lesser clubs!!

That's the key, in which case, it's not going to be a good thing for us. It strikes me, that some referees (and fans) are of the opinion that teams outside the Prem are all cloggers. We know that's not true of CCFC, for instance, because we've been playing good football for many years.

I am sure he is a Liverpool fan! He gifted liverool the derby a few years back and I remember Moyes hinting that he went on liverpools summer tour that year. Awful ref to have honestly.

If he is a Liverpool fan it doesn't show in his overall record as referee because they only have a 36% win rate with him as ref. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
