It doesn't work like that. Wouldn't you be as bad as the cheats yourself if you took that attitude onto the pitch with you? Having been at the sharp end for 500+ games at the top level you can't 'privately' say anything remotely like that. Referees are fair game - the solution lies with the authorities who should be able to retrospectively punish players for clear acts of simulation that go unpunished during the game. Also managers and the PFA should be heard more in such cases. I can assure you that it doesn't work that way. I am pretty sure that none of the referees are even aware of the song.

Of course referees don't want to be conned but the simple fact is they are and ultimately they accept that. If the match assessor and delegate saw that as a penalty he will lose marks (no consolation to us though). I will guarantee though that Andre Marriner can't remember that 'Martin Olssen took a dive' against Burnley two seasons ago. I thought he was average on Saturday but my gripe would be the ridiculously low amount of stoppage time he played in the second half. I counted three lengthy injuries, numerous substitutions and some blatant time wasting by the Bolton keeper. There should have been six minutes rather than the three he played.

Hello all, I'm a Darrener (although not by birth) and as a fifty something now I have followed Rovers for the majority of that time. I was a referee for many years and officiated (before I retired in 2006) at all but six of the then 92 Premier and Football League grounds. On Saturdays and mid-weeks when I didn't have a game I watched the Rovers with an embarrassing lack of control when a decision went against us. I have had a season ticket for many years, 'lending' it to friends and family when I couldn't go due to refereeing committments. I once refereed Burnley in a league match with my season ticket in my pocket, not quite in Simon Garners (allegedly) league though. I have two kids (now adults) and how I juggled all these at once makes me shudder now. I recently became a grandfather and when I am with my beautiful little grandaughter I can forget about Rovers current plight and almost become normal again. However the anger soon returns when I think about our owners or the imposter. I have worked for the same company for 32 years now in a purchasing role.

In all my years I can't remember a board sacking an assistant manager. Can you imaging that with Alex Ferguson or Sam Allardyce. On principle I think they would go to. Usually there is a code of loyalty and a strong bond between a manager and his coaching staff. The imposter is a snake of the highest order but why can the players not see this. Surely if he played a part in Jensen going and the players held Jensen in high esteem they wouldn't be too happy. The imposter showed all his usual shiftiness in his press conference today, displaying all the traits of a very poor liar. A few days ago I disliked him as a football manager, now I dislike him intensely as a person.

Does anybody know if the imposter has done his Friday press conference yet? If so has he mentioned Jensen or the mystery surrounding his departure.

So Kean has (alledgedly) played a part in the removal of a fellow SEM client from his position. I wonder how Anderson views that. Something really stinks about the whole affiar and it seems to me that Venkys could be as culpable as Kean.
