prem refs are not so lenient though and more likely to have penalties and red cards - as they ignore the fact that a bad challenge may be due to ability rather than malicious
Yeah they are used to reffing a prem game which is much quicker than in L1 and probably less physical, so lets hope he puts in a decent performance and gives us loads of protection as we spank them 4-0.
Interesting point, look at how many times you see Cole have a word with the ref, I believe thats one area he can be a very good influence...
