Alan Wiley

Normally we slag the Ref to bits on here, but today Mr Wiley was,IMHO, outstanding, he allowed the game to be played, didnt keep blowing up for the least little thing, and from what I saw had very good comunication with BOTH sets of players.............I know he is one of the 'elite' , however it was good to see him down here in League 2, and he looked to be enjoying himself also as he had a smile on his face for most of the game!!

Thought the Assistants were on the ball too.................more of the same please FA!

I think you are still gobsmacked about that LOL!!!!!!

A 1st for ages - not calling the ref

rude-dog · 22-09-2007, 21:11

got to agree there real refreshing change. cant really think of anything he got totally wrong

I tried to re-assure you all in the v Mansfield thread during the game today but you weren't here to read it

yeah but how long did it take for pete to believe me that it was alan wiley... I had to go searching for a programme to prove it

Oh yeah and his moment of the match had to be when he said to muggleton (mansfields keeper)

"GET A GRIP" or something along those lines, to which muggles replied something, which I didn't catch!!! Then ref called him over, thought he was gonna book him for a min

Ok Ok, I knew that I recognised the face, but found it hard to believe that it was actually Him (

), and yes HR did have to prove it to me.................
