But if we do that, it might just be the tip of the iceberg! Cos he might do it again!

I'd be astonished if Sam Allison became a full time SG1 official. Certainly ahead of the majority, if not all of SG2.

They shouldn't. If you were accused of misconduct at work and subsequently cleared of all wrong doing would you be happy if HR told your colleagues what you'd been accused of? Or posting details of it on the work intranet, which would be the equivalent of PGMOL issuing a statement about a referee who was accused of something and cleared.

Bit drastic to announce a ref has been sacked when he hasn't - don't you think?

But he wasn't sacked back in 2017, he was cleared and only Darren Deadman was sacked. But PGMOL didn't tell The Sun that he had been sacked, rather they saw he hadn't been allocated a game and incurred guilt from that, even though they then said that he was injured.

That article was wrong on so many levels. It said two referees had been sacked, whereas one had been removed from the PGMOL list whilst the other was under investigation. Then it had a photo caption saying Darren Deadman sacked when the referee in the photo was actually Neil Hair, who most definitely wasn't sacked.
