chappy Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (if this isn't new topic worthy please could a kindly mod merge it with the match thread?) Flying around on twitter that Dowd has been appointed ref for this game... does anyone have confirmation of this? Obviously we have to hope it isn't true.

Zatman Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 maybe not popular but I like Phil Dowd. he is a crap referee but the sight of a little fat man shouting and abusing overpaid primadonna footballers always makes me laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Look at him loving it. Obviously picked last at PE in school. Not happy if he is chosen for this game but at least he won't get the final should we make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAndLoyal Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 One of my mates went to that pre-season Asia tournament the other summer and Phil Dowd was there in the bar with them. He was apparently really sound and held his hands up and said he made a big mistake re: the Vidic incident at Wembley. It's reassuring to know he knows when he's made a mistake, unlike Halsey for example, but even so he could be the nicest guy in the world, Phil Dowd is still an unbelievably crap referee. Amazing how he's never been demoted on the back of some of his decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst ref in the league. Headline grabbing prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Have we ever won a game when this idiot has refereed it? It seems that he constantly makes bad decisions against us, notably Vidic incident, and the Herd red card, it seems rare that we go a game with him as ref where we don't have a player sent off or concede penalties. Him and Halsey are the worst refs for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 0-7 Bradford. Phil Dowd to award 7 penalties to Bradford. Sending off Vlaar, Benteke, Weimann and Lowton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Didn't he referee at Old Trafford the other night? Surely they won't let a fat bloke officiate 2 games within a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 They need to roll the little fat attention-seeker in the snow, stick him in the corner with a carrot for a nose and give the job of reffing the game to someone who can actually remain impartial.

roonst83 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 You just know Dowd will be wanting to help Bradford tonight - he likes making headlines so i'm fully expecting him to give them decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 He wouldn't dare **** this up. Would he? Nah, he must know that us going out would be major headlines. After the Southampton penalty, and his previous with us, any controversy will be plastered everyone. Surely the little **** wouldn't dare?!?!
