Scunthorpe United vs Plymouth Argyle

[Jacob Walukiewicz]

Not sure if anyone watched the game on TV but I found it very strange that the officials decided to wear the green shirt despite the away team also wearing green. I was in the ground and was often mistaking the referee for a Plymouth player when the ball went towards him. Other than that thought he had a good game, no major issues.

Clashed on tv as well. They're dissimilar close up but far away they look the same!

I believe the officials get told in advance what colour they have to wear, so they don’t get the choice.

Yep, the teams and match officials are told what to wear. That said, the officials will have other kits so they could change if they wanted to having been told there was a problem.
