@refbooks.bsky.social @refereeretro.bsky.social @quinnassociate.com This is from the 1979/80 season, I think the #referee is John Hunting from Leicester, though I'm not 100% certain. The match is an FA Cup 4th Round tie between Arsenal & Brighton.

@refbooks.bsky.social & @quinnassociate.com The last time the Germans lost a penalty shoot out was 50 years ago, the 1976 European Championship Final to Czechoslovakia. The ref was Sergio Gonella!

A few photos of #referee Norman Burtenshaw (including that iconic photo of Mackay having a hold of Bremner with Burtenshaw running in) who passed away 3 years ago aged 97. He would have celebrated his 100th birthday this year. @refbooks.bsky.social @quinnassociate.com @no1lino.bsky.social

@no1lino.bsky.social I see Pawson doesn’t think a yellow card should be upgraded to a red card when Soucek kicks Guimaraes. He was sh*t scared after getting previous decisions wrong which went West Ham. I can understand Gillet only giving a yellow card but Pawson wants shot with sh*t. He’s crap!
