Newcastle United players surround referee Robert Jones
Some Newcastle fans worried about the appointment of Robert Jones
Newcastle supporters fear choosing Robert Jones as referee for the Brighton game will hinder Eddie Howe's side.
The Magpies host Brighton at St James' Park on Thursday in a crucial Premier League game. Newcastle are currently third in the table, equal on points with Manchester United and one point ahead of Liverpool, who have played more than one game, in fifth.
Howe's side drew 2-2 with relegation-threatened Leeds at the weekend after being beaten 2-0 by Arsenal and are desperate for a win to close the gap with Liverpool, who have won seven straight. immediately to turn the situation around. Newcastle fans looked nervous ahead of a tough game against Brighton, who beat Arsenal 3-0 on Sunday. Jones' appointment as referee was highlighted on social media as he hails from Merseyside and is a member of the Wirral FA. Jones will administer the match with the help of referees Ian Hussin and Wade Smith, with Thomas Bramall as the fourth referee and Jarred Gillettt as the VAR.
"No, it's not bright," one fan tweeted. "I'm sure the club has everything on hand, but there's no way a game of this magnitude should be played with a Scouse referee on the whistle. He may not even support Liverpool, but there is always the possibility that his friends/relatives will."
"Thursday is just a bit more difficult," another added. "Rob Jones from Merseyside, has refereed 28 games this season, 0 of which have involved Liverpool or Everton... but he was allowed to referee for us in a game where Liverpool really were. need us to lose," wrote another.
Referee of the match Robert Jones
Robert Jones is not allowed to referee Liverpool and Everton matches
YES SAY YOUR SAY! Are Newcastle fans overreacting? Comment below.
There is no suggestion that Jones is a Liverpool supporter. He has never started a game for Liverpool or Everton since his promotion to the Premier League for the 2020/21 season to avoid any potential conflicts of interest.
Jones has overseen matches involving 17 Premier League teams this season, with Liverpool, Everton and Manchester United being the only teams he does not referee.
Some Newcastle fans are much more balanced on the situation. Jones has started twice for the Magpies this season and both games ended in wins for Howe's side, who beat Chelsea and Fulham 1-0 at St James' Park.
"Don't worry about the referee if we do our job, we don't need to worry about the referee..." one fan wrote. Another added:
"We can't rely on the referee to win, we just have to play well enough to win without getting robbed anywhere."
Others have pointed out that Newcastle assistant referee Michael Oliver has started five of Liverpool's games this season. Referees are required to inform the PGMOL of any football loyalty they may have and efforts are made to ensure that they do not administer matches where any hint can be made.
