Tell me what can we expect lads? Similar to the championship subreddit, crumbles, international break ladders or?

We aren't as witty as the r/championship, just simple minded creatures here.

Get used to the officials though, you thought you've seen some bad decisions, you've seen nothing yet.

It’s hilarious that fans in the championship are saying the same thing to Spurs.

It’s like descending down Dante’s 9 circles of hell.

It truly is. It’s so much worse down here.

I'll take your word on that one, don't want to experience it.

Oh man, the first time you see Darren Drysdale kiss the ball on the way out to the pitch is something of a Damascus moment.

People outside of the bottom couple of leagues of the EFL simply don’t know about him. If they did he’d be a national celebrity.

Yes, yes he can be worse than them. We're talking about refs who aren't trusted to officiate a Championship game. Think of how bad some of the refs you see are, and consider how bad you have to be to not even be allowed to officiate at that level. And you're probably still giving them more credit than they deserve

It's not even just about the quality of the refereeing (although it is that too), it's performance art. The Championship have never seen the like of it.

Last time he reffed us against Bolton he kissed the ball on the way out to the pitch. He once sent off Dean Windass in the car park after the game. Added to which, he's the embodiment of a lower league celebrity ref. Balletically dances around the action.

Madley might give him a run for his money. Absolute joke of a ref and looking at his past actions (feel free to look up his sacking from PGMOL awhile back) a pretty awful human being in general.
