Portsmouth should be happy with the appointment too, with that record when he has been in charge. Hopefully we can stuff their turkey. Ho ho ho! |  | |  |

No ferries on Christmas day, Terry. So, any travelling for him would be on the day of the match. Lack of transport options as well, so would have to drive on, probably, packed motorways. I presume he is not a Pompey or Southampton fan and think it is a sensible appointment. |  | |  |

I'm sure it's a sensible appointment. That's why I'm surprised Linnington is the man in the middle! |  | |  |

Ah! I thought you were shocked at a Hampshire based referee being allowed to ref a local team against a London one, in case of bias. It's that the authorities have made a practical decision. 😁 |  | |  |
