Another day, another ref review. This time we took on the first game of the defending champions Manchester United who went away from home to play West Bromwich Albion.

So a very good first half and a slightly lesser second half from the ref. But all in all he had a good game and a high score at the end of the day.

He did miss some things during the game. And the misses mostly favoured United. Not really big things in fact. But as some of you know from the past the wrong and not given fouls can have their influence on the game.

If all goes well you can also expect a ref review of the Manchester City – Swansea game in the next days. And of course we will be covering each Arsenal game as it comes along the way of the buys Untold Ref Reviewers.

How did we used to get the half time scores?
