Well, it would be fair to say that the Newcastle United fans are not too pleased that Martin Atkinson will referee this weekend’s Premier League clash with Bournemouth.Earlier this season, a number of Newcastle supporters took to social media to blast the decision to appoint Atkinson as the match official for the clash with Arsenal.As it transpired, the Magpies suffered a 1-0 loss in that contest.And now the fans are not exactly delighted that the 48-year-old will be in charge of proceedings when Bournemouth visit St James’ Park on Saturday afternoon.Newcastle’s official website note that Atkinson was in charge of just two games involving the club last season – the 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in August 2018 and the goalless draw with Fulham a few months later.Atkinson has already handed out 32 yellow cards this season, and it remains to be seen whether he has a big say on what happens this weekend.A selection of the Twitter reaction is available to view below:
