It seems clear that Tim isn't trusted by Unai to start games that matter.

I know our injury situation is bad but I honestly don’t think Unai is even considering using VillaTim

It’s not the same ref as last week now, I’ve just read. Felix Swayer is now the ref.

He should have reffed in England, far less chance of being caught.

He supposedly took a payment of 300 euros as a bribe by the actual match ref (who was the main match fixer) when a young lino. He then dobbed himself in and the ref in and was obviously punished for it but as he whistle blowed, was banned for 6 months only. That was 20 years ago.
