Category: The Football Referee

This is a Sports Talkshow and a Podcast mainly Focusing on the beautiful game of Football

This is the Season 98 of The Football Referee with dRem TGI (Emmy Hikins), and Trevor Gear on Deepstuff TV and Deepstuff Radio of Deepstuff records. All Episodes conducted by Legendary Singer-Songwriter and Musician Trevor Gear and TV and Radio presenter Emmy Hikins (dRem TGI) and also a Singer-Songwriter and a music producer of Deepstuff records LTD,

And an Avid football pundit Tony Gusani also a Manchester United fan

In This Season we discuss:

Premier League Young Player of the Season Nominees discussed: * Ryan Cherki (Man City) – Tony’s unbiased pick despite voting for Mainoo * Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United) – Both hosts’ preferred choice due to club loyalty * Nico O’Reilly (Man City), Lewis Hall (Newcastle), Alex Scott (Bournemouth), Junior Kroupie (Bournemouth), Matthias Fernandez (West Ham), Michael Coyote (Brentford) England squad consideration: When choosing between Mainoo and O’Reilly for the national team, Tony would include both but prioritize Mainoo as a substitute for fresh legs and game-changing ability. O’Reilly’s defensive versatility and set-piece threat make him valuable alongside Harry Maguire. Real Madrid Managerial Situation Jose Mourinho is advancing to final stages of negotiations with Real Madrid, pending approval from Florentino Perez after elections.

Tony believes Mourinho is needed to address dressing room ego clashes and restore winning mentality, comparing the situation to Manchester United’s issues. Perez faces political pressure with some wanting him removed despite bringing in top players like Ronaldo, Vinicius, and Zidane. Relegation Battle: Tottenham vs West Ham Current standings: Tottenham sits two points above West Ham with relegation looming for one club. Remaining fixtures: * West Ham: Leeds, Newcastle * Tottenham: Leeds, Chelsea, Everton Tony’s assessment: West Ham could survive if they maintain the intensity shown against Arsenal, though Leeds presents a tough challenge.

Tottenham would likely return from Championship easily due to their squad quality and history, while West Ham might struggle to come back up due to Championship’s competitiveness. Emmy’s preference: Would relegate Tottenham to allow West Ham time to resolve internal management issues.

  • And No Team’s Ever Gone Down On That – Trevor Gear On Crystal Palace Being On 43 Points

    1
    00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:17,000
    [Music]

    2
    00:00:17,000 –> 00:00:26,000
    Welcome back to the football referee with Emma Hickins, Trevor Gear and Fermi Marr-Dalia.

    3
    00:00:26,000 –> 00:00:33,000
    We’ll see. We’re not fortune tellers. We don’t know that we put his exciting right to the end of the season.

    4
    00:00:33,000 –> 00:00:38,000
    Not so much for those two fans facing relegation. It’s a horrible feeling.

    5
    00:00:38,000 –> 00:00:46,000
    So I sympathize with any set of fans if they’re finally relegated but such is life in the Premier League, isn’t it?

    6
    00:00:46,000 –> 00:00:52,000
    Yeah. I mean, the thing is it’s exciting at the top and it’s exciting at the bottom.

    7
    00:00:52,000 –> 00:00:55,000
    Yeah, it’s good. It’s good stuff.

    8
    00:00:55,000 –> 00:01:01,000
    Well, last season, you knew we knew Liverpool was winning it because they were way away.

    9
    00:01:01,000 –> 00:01:05,000
    But they see, we don’t even know who’s going to win it.

    10
    00:01:05,000 –> 00:01:07,000
    Which is like, well, who’s going to be early gear?

    11
    00:01:07,000 –> 00:01:10,000
    Epe switch, come up.

    12
    00:01:10,000 –> 00:01:13,000
    Epe switch will come up along with Coventry.

    13
    00:01:13,000 –> 00:01:16,000
    Oh, all Coventry as well.

    14
    00:01:16,000 –> 00:01:24,000
    Yeah, Coventry won it. And of course the four teams in the playoffs are Southampton, Middlesbrough, Millwall and Hull.

    15
    00:01:24,000 –> 00:01:31,000
    Now, my gut feeling is Southampton would do it when they’ve had a pretty good season.

    16
    00:01:31,000 –> 00:01:35,000
    They’ve got some good players down there in Southampton.

    17
    00:01:35,000 –> 00:01:41,000
    So I have a feeling it will be there. But yeah, that’s true. Coventry and Epe switch have done well.

    18
    00:01:41,000 –> 00:01:46,000
    And I must put it a mention to Crystal Palace women because they started off the season.

    19
    00:01:46,000 –> 00:01:50,000
    They’re relegated last season into WSL2.

    20
    00:01:50,000 –> 00:01:55,000
    It started off a bit iffy and lost couple of games quite near the bottom.

    21
    00:01:55,000 –> 00:01:59,000
    And they changed their manager to a lady called Joe Potter.

    22
    00:01:59,000 –> 00:02:03,000
    And they’ve risen up the table and occupied third place for a while.

    23
    00:02:03,000 –> 00:02:09,000
    Now the top two are going up because they’re increasing the numbers in WSL1.

    24
    00:02:09,000 –> 00:02:16,000
    So Charlton and Birmingham have been top pretty much most of the season between them.

    25
    00:02:16,000 –> 00:02:18,000
    And Palace have crept up to third.

    26
    00:02:18,000 –> 00:02:21,000
    Well, they’ve had a real great run of wins.

    27
    00:02:21,000 –> 00:02:29,000
    So the last week it finished the season finished at the WSL2.

    28
    00:02:29,000 –> 00:02:34,000
    That Palace finished second. So they’re going back up straight away.

    29
    00:02:34,000 –> 00:02:40,000
    Charlton, third, Birmingham with top. So they’re going up with Palace.

    30
    00:02:40,000 –> 00:02:49,000
    Now coming down is one team comes down but they will have a playoff with the third team Charlton in the WSL2.

    31
    00:02:49,000 –> 00:02:54,000
    Anyway, Palace skills, Palace women have promoted to that. Excellent.

    32
    00:02:54,000 –> 00:03:01,000
    Yeah. I can’t remember which one that I watched that weekend but I did watch a game with Arsenal.

    33
    00:03:01,000 –> 00:03:10,000
    And it’s French team. And it was the UFR Champions League.

    34
    00:03:10,000 –> 00:03:13,000
    It was Champions League. Yeah.

    35
    00:03:13,000 –> 00:03:19,000
    And Arsenal got knocked out in the second leg so I wasn’t happy about that.

    36
    00:03:19,000 –> 00:03:22,000
    Because they won the first leg and then they lost the second leg.

    37
    00:03:22,000 –> 00:03:26,000
    Anyway, it is a shame. We won the English teams, we dominate it all.

    38
    00:03:26,000 –> 00:03:33,000
    Anyway, this is all we’ve got time for on the football referee.

    39
    00:03:33,000 –> 00:03:37,000
    So we get up to join us again next week.

    40
    00:03:37,000 –> 00:03:41,000
    So I’m up in Amihikin and he calls me Cos.

    41
    00:03:41,000 –> 00:03:44,000
    The line traffic here and he calls me, bro.

    42
    00:03:44,000 –> 00:03:47,000
    Ah, got it right, but stop.

    43
    00:03:47,000 –> 00:03:54,000
    This has been a deep stuff radio podcast for deep stuff records.

    44
    00:03:54,000 –> 00:03:58,000
    The football referee is looking for sponsors.

    45
    00:03:58,000 –> 00:04:05,000

  • Can They Breathe Easy Now At This Point? – Emmy Hikins On Tottenham Coming Out Relegation

    1
    00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:17,000
    [Music]

    2
    00:00:17,000 –> 00:00:26,000
    Welcome back to the football referee with Emma Hickins, Trevor Gear and Fermi Madhariya.

    3
    00:00:26,000 –> 00:00:31,000
    After last night’s win, he was just like a different face looking at you.

    4
    00:00:31,000 –> 00:00:35,000
    Very, very, very satisfying with life and why not?

    5
    00:00:35,000 –> 00:00:38,000
    Why not? They weren’t in a good place at the moment.

    6
    00:00:38,000 –> 00:00:41,000
    Yeah, and finally, Tottenham.

    7
    00:00:41,000 –> 00:00:46,000
    There are other relegations or no.

    8
    00:00:46,000 –> 00:00:49,000
    Can they breathe easy at a spying?

    9
    00:00:49,000 –> 00:00:51,000
    Well, it’s, yeah, it’s okay.

    10
    00:00:51,000 –> 00:00:54,000
    It’s very easy to think because they just got out of their zone.

    11
    00:00:54,000 –> 00:00:57,000
    That’s how it’s going to stay.

    12
    00:00:57,000 –> 00:01:03,000
    I can’t, I should know, but I can’t remember who Tottenham are playing this weekend.

    13
    00:01:03,000 –> 00:01:06,000
    I know West Ham are playing Aston.

    14
    00:01:06,000 –> 00:01:09,000
    We know that’s probably the tougher of the two games.

    15
    00:01:09,000 –> 00:01:17,000
    But yeah, I think if West Ham lose to Arsenal, I would think Spurs are going to be safe.

    16
    00:01:17,000 –> 00:01:18,000
    Yeah.

    17
    00:01:18,000 –> 00:01:24,000
    Because I think West, particularly if Spurs do well this weekend, as I say, I can’t remember who they’re playing.

    18
    00:01:24,000 –> 00:01:32,000
    But the odds now are tilted, I think, a bit towards West Ham going down with Burnley and Wolves.

    19
    00:01:32,000 –> 00:01:33,000
    Yeah.

    20
    00:01:33,000 –> 00:01:38,000
    Probably we can’t ultimately say that until the last match of the season.

    21
    00:01:38,000 –> 00:01:40,000
    Yeah, because of how we’ll stay.

    22
    00:01:40,000 –> 00:01:46,000
    I was watching it and I’m thinking, I think the one that lost much then they Tottenham.

    23
    00:01:46,000 –> 00:01:48,000
    And I did.

    24
    00:01:48,000 –> 00:01:50,000
    I was quite ill.

    25
    00:01:50,000 –> 00:01:52,000
    They’d be ill at night.

    26
    00:01:52,000 –> 00:01:55,000
    I was quite relieved for them, I thought.

    27
    00:01:55,000 –> 00:01:56,000
    Yeah, finally.

    28
    00:01:56,000 –> 00:02:04,000
    But I’m looking at it now and I’m thinking, they’re still not out of the woods out there.

    29
    00:02:04,000 –> 00:02:07,000
    No, they’re not.

    30
    00:02:07,000 –> 00:02:08,000
    No, they’re not.

    31
    00:02:08,000 –> 00:02:11,000
    Neither of those two teams are out of it yet.

    32
    00:02:11,000 –> 00:02:22,000
    Frankly, if West Ham lose Saturday, it’s Saturday, it’s like the Saturday or Sunday, so Arsenal.

    33
    00:02:22,000 –> 00:02:30,000
    Then I think, for example, there are those who say, well, there’s Palace on 43 points.

    34
    00:02:30,000 –> 00:02:32,000
    Now, a note team has ever gone down on that.

    35
    00:02:32,000 –> 00:02:33,000
    Yeah.

    36
    00:02:33,000 –> 00:02:34,000
    43 points.

    37
    00:02:34,000 –> 00:02:38,000
    And leads, I think leads have got 43 as well.

    38
    00:02:38,000 –> 00:02:47,000
    But if West Ham lose to Arsenal, then both Palace and leads will be safe.

    39
    00:02:47,000 –> 00:02:55,000
    I think forrest, they’ve got probably about, they might have 42 points now, I can’t remember.

    40
    00:02:55,000 –> 00:02:58,000
    But again, those teams really are going to be safe.

    41
    00:02:58,000 –> 00:03:04,000
    Short of some arithmetic, sort of mathematical, unlikely events.

    42
    00:03:04,000 –> 00:03:08,000
    People are safe. It’s either top or the more West Ham.

    43
    00:03:08,000 –> 00:03:12,000
    But if West Ham lose one more, I would think they’ve gone.

    44
    00:03:12,000 –> 00:03:14,000
    That’s my view.

    45
    00:03:14,000 –> 00:03:15,000
    I can’t see.

    46
    00:03:15,000 –> 00:03:19,000
    I mean, Spurs have got the impetus from last weekend.

    47
    00:03:19,000 –> 00:03:22,000
    And you feel they’re going to be safe.

    48
    00:03:22,000 –> 00:03:23,000
    We’ll see.

    49
    00:03:23,000 –> 00:03:25,000
    We’re not fortune tellers.

    50
    00:03:25,000 –> 00:03:26,000
    We don’t know the weeper.

    51
    00:03:26,000 –> 00:03:29,000
    He’s exciting right to the end of the season.

    52
    00:03:29,000 –> 00:03:32,000
    Not so much for those two fans facing relegation.

    53
    00:03:32,000 –> 00:03:33,000
    It’s a horrible feeling.

    54
    00:03:33,000 –> 00:03:34,000
    She knows.

    55
    00:03:34,000 –> 00:03:37,000
    We’re going to take a short break now.

    56
    00:03:37,000 –> 00:03:39,000
    The football referee will be about shortly.

    57
    00:03:39,000 –> 00:03:47,000
    You’re listening to the football referee wave any he can, travel gear, and family medarieola.

    58
    00:03:47,000 –> 00:03:50,000
    The football referee will be about shortly.

    59
    00:03:50,000 –> 00:03:54,000
    Please stay tuned.
