Stroud

Just been named as replacement ref tonight, boscombe playing a trump card. Born in Bournemouth supports Luton. No bias there then EFL.

Why has the ref been changed?

[joshfulham]

Not sure where the bias lies though? Surely for anyone willing for Bournemouth's success us beating Forest is essential. A Forest win tonight could put Bournemouth in real trouble of missing out on automatics promotion...

That's what we want isn't it? Better for Luton if we beat Forest

[Thailand Mick]

He will probably want to show he's not being biased so will be tougher on us. Don't think it's a wise choice by the EFL leaves them open to all kinds of accusations.

[H4usuallysitting]

Hasn't he got form

[MikeTheCubed]

St Dour will probably favour a draw, satisfy both of his allegiances.

[ALG01]

my mempory of keith stroud is he is awful.

Why do we persist with this notion of referees being biased against FFC. I have no doubt they are not biased in the way you imply. Incompetent and useless most definitely but not biased

[Cookie6262]

Pretty sure I saw a stat that said he has reffed 12 Burnemouth games in his career and they have won all 12 😂😂

They must have lost one recently because it's 12 win from 13 games

We're 9-5-6 all time with Stroud as the referee. Seen him twice this campaign — the opening 1-1 draw with Boro, and the recent 3-1 home defeat to Coventry. I don't recall any real issues in either of those.

[filham]

Forget about the ref.  and just think about Mitro hitting the back of the net three times tonight, that is much more important.

Yes indeed i want to see that Forest net bulging left right and centre tonight.

Absolutely this. Nobody is out to get us.

[Whitestone]

Agree. No referee bias but IMO Keith Stroud is the worst referee in the Championship.

I'll let the ref know what I think after three seconds into the game.
