I'll be booing the fuckwit from kick off. Did I read he was conveniently ref for United on their recent tour and gave a ludicrous pen to them?

Wouldn't say ludricous as the Everton defender did have a couple of bites of pulling Diallo back without a chance of winning the ball. What was  ludrious was when Rogers didn't get a penalty for a similar thing when VAR stated no because it was not sustained fouling.

However Fernandez should have been red carded when he lost the ball and just deliberately studded the Everton player in the Achilles with no attempt at the ball whatsoever. As it was a Prem sponsored tournament, I don't know if the red would have carried over but sometimes they do from friendlies.

@refereewatch Controversial referee Thomas Bramall is in line for a quick reunion with Aston Villa and has been earmarked for their opening game against Newcastle at home on August 16th.
That would be a ridiculous appointment.
Typical arrogant referees just to show who's in charge

I can't imagine Villa would accept this without a strong appeal for it not to happen.
Of course, if he were to ref it you would think he might be slightly in favour of making amends.

Nah, maybe not!

Howard Webb explaining the 8 second rule and how they will get around it to only penalise certain keepers. (Although ironic that Arse think they are put upon).
