Going to steal MS thunder
Stuart Attwell has officiated 8 of our games (1 win, 6 draws, 1 loss), 2 of which have been this season
26/12/09 Sheffield Wednesday 2 - 2 Newcastle United
15/12/12 Barnsley FC 0 - 1 Sheffield Wednesday
19/02/13 Birmingham City 0 - 0 Sheffield Wednesday
24/08/13 Sheffield Wednesday 2 - 2 Millwall FC
18/01/14 Burnley FC 1 - 1 Sheffield Wednesday
25/10/14 Sheffield Wednesday 0 - 0 Norwich City
13/12/14 Sheffield Wednesday 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
In our games he's given 19 yellows and 0 reds.
He is the infamous ref who awarded Reading a "ghost goal" against Watford at Vicarage Road
Recently seems to be League 1/2 ref, his last championship game was december 28th's Cardiff 2-4 Watford, however, the game before he presided over the pigs 2-1 boxing day defeat away at Port ValeUNLUCKY PIEBLADE
his last 25 games has seen 63 yellows and 3 reds so certainly like to give yellows but seems scared of that red card (coincidently the last red he gave was THAT boxing day game for Uniteds Chris Basham
sorry MS
One important thing to add about Stuart Atwell is that he allows players to physically challenge the keeper (I hope SG tells the players this). In those matches, we were twice the beneficiaries of goals resulting from strong challenges on the keeper. Varney knocked the keeper over against Newcastle & JOC scored and Madine knocked the keeper over at Barnsley & COG scored.
If SG is doing his job right both our strikers & keeper will know what to expect. Heard last week that Mourinho does a six page report for his players on the referee. Doubt SG does.
AAHHH
2-1 McGugan
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
