Ever Had a Bad Knight Out?
This was recently posted to the Burnley FC E-Group
[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/burnleyfc] and we were quite taken by the idea, so we thought we’d pass it on...
Welcome to a not so elite club for supporters of teams who've been shafted by the worst referee in the game... BARRY KNIGHT.
Mr Knight is not funny, and he's certainly not clever. More importantly, he's not fit to officiate over any standard of football, particularly where people's livelihoods are at stake!
The KNIGHT-OUT campaign is a serious and growing movement to have Knight removed from the referee’s list. Those of you who went to the Wolves game will know exactly what I mean. Knight is no only incompetent, he's arrogant. The more he's criticised the more outrageous his decisions become.
The KNIGHT-OUT campaign is run by a small group of AFC Bournemouth supporters (what do you mean, who?). He's f****d us twice, and now he's f*****d you. Since we started, we've also received support from a number of other clubs' supporters, and we'd like to invite you to join us. Our aim is to collect complaints from every possible club and catalogue the cock ups. Then we'll present the evidence to the Referee’s Association. Whilst we do that, we're also going to mount a protest campaign at every match he officiates in.
This is deadly serious. Knight is unfit for his position, and if people like him are not stopped, the game itself will be ruined.
Agree? Then e-mail your support to knightoutcapgn@aol.com.
Good luck for the rest of your season, and all the best to Ian Cox.
