| Worst Ref 16:00 - Sep 30 with 7690 views | paulhoop2 |
Due to a previous thread ( lee mason ) I have been thinking Of the worst ever referee I have seen live for me I have a unforgettable top 3 - Rob Styles , Andy Hall and Clives favourite Trevor Kettle ! Anyone else got a memorable ref ? On the flip side who was the best referee you have seen live involving rangers for me it’s Mark Clatenburgs play off semi against Wigan performance let the game flow really well etc also for me another 2 were Dermott Gallagher and Howard Webb |  |

Can’t believe we’ve got this far down the thread before Robbie Hart’s name is mentioned.
The amount of injury time added to the second half of that game was corrupt - there is simply no other word for it. I probably need to be a bit careful what I say here - so let’s just say that if it ever came out in the future that Hart had been paid to ensure United went away without losing that day, I would not be in the least bit surprised. That’s how strongly I feel about that game. |
Let's just put it this way - that was our "Champions of Europe" Day. |  |

In reverse order;
3: Singh, Gurnam
2: Gurnam fücking Singh
3: Both of the above. |  |

I was at that Crewe game as a 14 year old with my dad. He was doing everything he could not to swear in front of me, but just lost it and started calling the referee a w***er. Absolute shocker. Two of our players who got 2 yellows got booked because Crewe players were taking quick free kicks and kicking the ball against our players before they had a chance to move. Ref shouldn't have fallen for those antics. | | | |

He was poor, almost every decision went their way. I think we pissed him off by being late for each half. Humourless git making no allowances for the current dressing room situation and the extreme wet weather. | | | |

We were penalised 13 times for fouls, them 11 - hardly 'almost every decision' | | | |

There have been many individual performances where a referee has had a bad day, just as players do. For me in my time watching football the most consistently awful ones every time you saw them were Styles, Hall, Kettle and Singh. Those four are/were different gravy.
Keith Stroud has gone from being quite a decent ref to an absolute perisistent liability and the Newcastle v Burton farce should have been the end of him. He and Andy Woolmer are the biggest liabilities on the Champ list at the moment. Not close to that top four yet though. Styles was so abysmal I started to think he was doing it deliberately just for laughs.
Clattenburg grew into the best referee in this country, I thought it was a shame he withdrew as early as he did, nobody in the Prem currently remotely close to his level. As said higher up his performance in the play off semi final at ours was as good as you'll ever see a football game refereed - I don't think he was ever more than 5 yards from antyhing that happened. Graham Poll was much maligned but I thought he was very good, if arrogant, and, again, better than anything that's currently reffing, apart from maybe Michael Oliver. |  | | |

Not just about the stats though is it Pinner? They were much more physical than us yet most debatable calls seemed to go their way. He didn't want to give anything for pulling or holding in the box. Safe refereeing, I suppose you would say. 'Ref as you would expect it to be reffed', or something like that,. Lol
However the handball given against Kakay, guessed and wrong when positioned behind him? That was an atrocious decision. | | | |

Can't argue with much of that, although Clattenburg didn't just leave, he went off to a highly lucrative new job! | | | |

Fair enough and hands up here, I've only seen highlights.
We're due a few more monsoons this week, so will watch the 90' during one of them and see what I think. | | | |

Respect Pinner, that's going to be a hard watch when you already know the outcome. Lol | | | |

Well monsoon arrived earlier in the week than predicted (what a surprise!) so just watched it.
Honestly thought ref was fine - can't see where Clive got the over fussy from - let as much go as he gave. Nothing major wrong, both yellows correct, didn't miss any and nice to see added time added to added time correctly.
Have to make one point about my friend Mr London
Lees goes off " Hope the referee adds added time to the added time for this slow walk off by Lees"
After we score and game continues " Don't know where the referee is getting this time from?"  | | | |

Fair enough Pinner but Nick London means well.
Incidentally, does anyone know apart from commentating on our streams and audios, what else does Nick do? | | | |

Don't know what else he does now (I suspect other freelance commentary) but back in the day he used to be one of the match reporters on BBC Radio London's Saturday sports programme. |  |

We should sit and go through a game together. I think basically all of that post is wrong. And I'm sure you feel the same about some of mine. | | | |
