And Spanish Flu...

and Brexit. Don't forget Brexit!

Exeter supporter in peace.

Pearce is, of course, from Exeter, but I don't think that this fact influences him when reffing us, unless to make him more strict on us.  I agree with all the above about Carley though I do think that he has improved recently so far as his decisions are concerned; but he is deeply unsympathetic.

I'm afraid I don't rate Dickson at all and think it very wrong of the RFU to appoint him to such a significant game when it involves ex-teammates.

IMO all games should be officiated by clearly neutral officials so Hull wouldn't have been allowed to be the citing officer at our game v Sale as Bristol could have benefitted from his decisions if you guys hadn't stuffed them in the most joyous manner.  Frankly, after last Saturday I wouldn't mind losing to you after what you did to Bristol  ;D ;D  It was almost certainly the best game of rugby I have seen or participated in in 55 years of playing and watching.

Certainly my optimism is likely to disappear after Exeter get the ball, yeah!

Mmm... they don't like giving it back much.

Not fussed about Pearce being from Exeter and reffing Exeter. I'm from Exeter and I want you to lose! :) Wayne Barnes is a local boy for Quins and doesn't exactly favour us - I don't think the local connection matters so much. Fairly recent ex-players yes, and sadly I think Karl's been overpromoted a bit as this hasn't been his finest season.

Lives locally but hardly a local boy

I’d prefer Carly Simon to Matthew Carley as the ref. 
Just hoping we aren’t robbed by another Steve Lander- type moment.   

That was totally and unbelievably awful. As close as one ought ever to get to saying we were "cheated" out of winning that day.

Seriously Comet, I can't believe that these cheap gags are Coming Around Again!!!!!

Have some respect for yourself :-)

You score 5 we'll score 7.....
