new football based comedy on BBC2 at 10pm, quite funny from the League of Gentlemen writers.

Good to see it back. It's not new, and it's not usually football-themed, though last night's episode apparently was. Each episode is self-contained so it could really be about anything from week to week. As you'd expect from this format it can be hit and miss, but at its best it's glorious. The live Halloween special was outstanding telly.

Agreed, the Halloween one tricked me. Really clever stuff.

I've watched episodes with people and they've tried guessing what's going to happen. They're always wrong!

One of my favourite series and some of the episodes are among the best and clever entertainment i've seen on TV in recent years.

I actually thought this latest one was a bit weak. It didn't have the trademark very dark humour and didn't really have a proper twist as the Ref couldn't have really controlled or foreseen events to the degree suggested if we are to believe his allegiances influenced his actions (without giving a spoiler to those still wanting to watch it).

Watched it until the black striker started snogging the ref before the game in the ref. room.

Have to say I'm fine with inter-racial gay sex on telly but snogging refs is just plain wrong.

God knows what goes on in that room in Stockley Park no wonder they take so long to make decisions, plus I bet the Refs never use the screen because Jamie has turned it over to something more wholesome or just switched it off.

After watching it I'm starting to believe that scouse ref we had a month or so ago must have had something going on with the opposition's striker. It's surely the only way to justify his performance.

think this is something pools are missing out on. challinor could do a foursome with him and two lino,s when handing in the teamsheet.
