It's Andre Marriner from Birmingham.

He has been in the middle for three of our matches this season - defeats v Arsenal, L'pool and Sunderland.

After Sunday, he will have been ref for three successive Palace-'pool Premier matches.

Here's hoping we get a win this time.

Marriner is 47 and was in charge of the S'land-Hammers match last w/e

Likes to bring his cards out at all matches!

Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

I would tell Zaha to just run at them ......make little contact the other way....to confuse the REF. If it goes against Wilf too often then something is wrong ?

We just have to do the business on the pitch. We can't worry about the ref for each game. What will be will be. However, we seem to be getting a few more decisions in our favour in recent weeks. Coincides with our upturn in form. Perhaps the balance of luck will even out by season end. Hopefully, that means a few more games where we get the "rub of the green!".

COYP!

Sure fire way to get himself sent off.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

You think so? Missed a clear offside situation that could easily have been a goal and if that foul on Tomkins is not a red card I don't know what foul merits one.
