Dull hook. Everyone has to start their career somehow, somewhere. Unless there's something interesting about this particular match. Daniel Case (talk) 21:44, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Hook changed to a involve a more prominent match. Mattythewhite (talk) 14:07, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

This article is new enough and long enough. The image is appropriately licensed and the hook fact is sourced. The article is neutral and I did not detect any copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:04, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

There is close paraphrasing from the BBC source, although the source is talking about Oliver and the article is talking about Duncan:
Source: over their decision not to punish their vice president for discriminating against a female referee.
Article: over their decision to not punish their vice-president for discriminating against a female referee. Yoninah (talk) 00:57, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Reworded. Mattythewhite (talk) 01:22, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

I removed the close paraphrasing. If this factoid about Michael Oliver is at all important, please restate it in your own words. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 08:54, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
