Rodger Gifford

[Mooseybaby]

Just saw this come up on my news feed, former PL referee Rodger Gifford banned for making a "joke" comment to a colleague whilst working as an observer for the PGMOL!

Gifford banned for insulting colleague

Reading through the article, he hasn't been used by the PGMOL since the incident and like some pundits who dropped a bomb on air, will almost certainly find his exile is permanent.

One bad observer down…

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cekk0ymznedo The news report alone makes for shocking reading. The observer in question, a former top flight official no less, tried to excuse a racially aggravated comment as “light-hearted”. Another dinosaur gone. And good riddance too.
