IS PETER White upset because Neil Yates (Sports Letters, February 9) suggests that he is biased in favour of Blackburn Rovers?

Will he sue the bold Mr Yates?

If he does, I think anyone who has read his reports over the years would agree he is biased in favour of Blackburn.

In order to rid himself of this slur, could I suggest that as a 'reporter,' he 'reports' on what happened in the game and keeps his opinions to himself and just be happy that he watches the games free of charge?

As he is obviously a first-class referee, may I invite him to officiate in a game in Accrington's Combination where we are short every week (I wonder why?)

Perhaps your paper would make it Match of the Day and permit me to write the report.
