Finding match officials from a game

This has gone from arguably the dullest opening post in Fred history to Thread of the Year potential!

Incredible stuff.

great shout

Two google searches later... Ray Lewis?

Manchester United survived one of the great goalkeeping blunders last night when Roy Carroll dropped a near 50-yard shot from Pedro Mendes over his own line in the 89th minute, but neither the referee Mark Clattenburg nor his linesman Ray Lewis awarded the goal.

Rob not Ray…and the other side.

My dad did have all the programmes but my mum made him give them all away

Starting bid is £1.49...

Now you know he's lied about this have you worked out how you're going to call his lies out?

Edit - buy that programme and ask him to sign it.

So it's confirmed lie ? He's not grown up Simon from Inbetweeners ?

He'll just say that there was a late change of officials which is why his name isn't in the programme.

The pic is the evidence you use.

Probably a great way to catch the lying @#%&! out when you slap it on his desk.

Apologies to you, Neo, for posting the same link. Somehow missed this post.
Adding a jpg of the cover may have helped

He isn't he only about 6 years older than me and he's a fat @#%&!. Problem is I have to work with him everyday, thinking of having a bit of fun with it as I wasn't in earshot when he came out with it and he doesn't know I like football or follow(ed) United home and away...maybe get one of the other lads to bring it up when I'm there, make out I have the programme...dunno

A friend of mine, his dad was a former pl linesman. Will have words.

*he retired late 90s, doesn't recognise him.

Maybe Rob was on one side and Ray on the other. Would certainly clear things up a bit.
