Argentina/England controversy in 1966 & 1998.I'm sure @refbooks.bsky.social & @quinnassociate.com know who the #referees are!The 1966 controversy of course led to the introduction of yellow & red cards one of many innovations by Ken Aston,the man who refereed the infamous Battle of Santiago in 1962.
@refbooks.bsky.social & @quinnassociate.com The last time the Germans lost a penalty shoot out was 50 years ago, the 1976 European Championship Final to Czechoslovakia. The ref was Sergio Gonella!
@refbooks.bsky.social I see Danny Makellie is reffing France V Sweden tonight, a good appointment for him!
3 top British FIFA #referees from the 1970s - Jack Taylor who reffed at the 1970&1974 WCs,including the 1974 Final,Clive Thomas who reffed at the 1974&1978 WCs & Bobby Davidson who refereed at the 1962,1970&1974 WCs (inc running the line on the 1962 Final). @refbooks.bsky.social @quinnassociate.com
1967 FA Cup Final between Tottenham & Chelsea - a 2-1 win for Tottenham (sorry Eamon!). Do you know who the #referee is? @refbooks.bsky.social & @quinnassociate.com
A 1973 friendly between Scotland & Brazil. Billy Bremner having a go at the #referee. A referee I'm sure @refbooks.bsky.social will recognise! @quinnassociate.com
A few photos of #referee Norman Burtenshaw (including that iconic photo of Mackay having a hold of Bremner with Burtenshaw running in) who passed away 3 years ago aged 97. He would have celebrated his 100th birthday this year. @refbooks.bsky.social @quinnassociate.com @no1lino.bsky.social
The 1974 & 1970 World Cup Finals, I'm certain @refbooks.bsky.social knows who the two #referees were! @quinnassociate.com
@no1lino.bsky.social I see Pawson doesn’t think a yellow card should be upgraded to a red card when Soucek kicks Guimaraes. He was sh*t scared after getting previous decisions wrong which went West Ham. I can understand Gillet only giving a yellow card but Pawson wants shot with sh*t. He’s crap!
You wont need the clubs to recognise the #referee here! @refbooks.bsky.social & @quinnassociate.com 1971-2 season.

Tottenham V Everton 1971-2 A not so well-known #referee from that era for @quinnassociate.com, @refbooks.bsky.social & @refereeretro.bsky.social to identify.
This will be of interest to you in particular @quinnassociate.com - it is the FA Cup Semi-Final in 1977/8 between Arsenal & Orient. I reckon you & @refbooks.bsky.social will easily identify this well-known #referee from this era!
Adolf Hitler attacked Czechoslavakia without declaring war Hitler invaded Austria without declaring war. Hitler invaded Poland and France and the USSR without warning. Donald Trump invaded Venezuela without warning, he attacked Iran without warning. oranges and oranges.
Three of the Premier League's most useless refs at St James Park tomorrow night! Bankes (ref), Robinson (4th Official) & Tierney (VAR)! @no1lino.bsky.social
1971/72 Chelsea V Arsenal - a FIFA #referee from that era for @quinnassociate.com @refbooks.bsky.social @refereeretro.bsky.social to identify.
@no1lino.bsky.social This was one of the funniest things I've seen at Newcastle! Mark Hughes throwing his coat in a temper tantrum after Stoke got two red cards in a few minutes!
