A #referee I vaguely recognise but I cannot put a name to - from 1975-76 the match is Middlesbrough V Newcastle a dramatic 3-3 draw with 2 late Newcastle goals to pinch a point. @refbooks.bsky.social & @refereeretro.bsky.social

Another #referee from the 1970s for @refbooks.bsky.social to identify. He ran the line in an FA Cup Final but despite being a FIFA ref never refereed a major Cup Final (only a Charity Shield) at Wembley. Ill tell you the year he ran the line on the FA Cup Final if you are struggling.

Here is an interesting position #referee Bob Matthewson took up at a corner - behind the goal! It is a Tottenham V Stoke FA Cup tie from 1975-76. @refbooks.bsky.social & @refereeretro.bsky.social

An excellent performance by Newcastle against Benfica, though I have to say the 2022 World Cup Final #referee Marciniak was utter garbage, the muppet who was responsible for our elimination from the Champions League 2 yrs ago after that disgraceful penalty he awarded PSG. #NewcastleUnitedFC

Two #referees for @refbooks.bsky.social to identify from the 1975-76 season. The two matches are Sheffield United V Manchester United and Luton V WBA, the photo there is of WBAs Johnny Giles being sent off. That was the year before red & yellow cards were introduced in the Football League.
