Andy D'Urso tonight?

[NS Herald]

I've just heard he's the ref tonight - please God tell me this isn't true - he's a plank of the highest order and we've had enough of those this season

 

[GYM]

We WON 2-0 last time we had him. So ill take that again!

 

[The Wizard]

f*** sake, this guy is a wanker.

 

[fleet]

Always a worry with him. Better thank having Cook again though

f*** sake, this guy is a wanker.

He's only asking. Give the guy a break.

To be honest though, it would be difficult to find a referee at any level that isn't a plank. Most of the so called elite make gigantic cockups on important decisions so it's no surprise that those further down the pecking order are even more incompetant!

Cant decide.

Was that aimed at me??

 

[jordanseagull]

Briliant.

 

[crodonilson]

I do hope he remembers to put this in his top pocket tonight....

 

[Basil Fawlty]

We won 2-0 with him in charge before, but yes he is indeed a wanker.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I fail to see how having Andy D'Urso could be any worse than any other referee.

Blaming officials is starting to get a tiny bit repetitive IMHO, we are where we are in the table because of our own incompetence, not because of a few debatable officiating decisions.

And as for getting twitchy about them before the game's even STARTED...

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

Gives some people an excuse if we lose

 

[fleet]

Shouting at the ref is a significant part of the fun of the event - or is that just me?

 

[Mackenzie]

bastard in the black

We had a thread like this before the last game he did at Withdean and he was OK on the night (day?)

Perhaps a previous one was dubious?

 

[chinners]

would you rather have mr friend the orient ref who has gone on to ref premiership games after the disgrace performance he put in at orient

 

[BensGrandad]

Mr Friend was not the ref at Orient. He did a recent game at Withdean when he was being assessed by Graham Poll and there was doubt about the pitch being fit to play on. I think the ref at Orient was a Mr Cook from Surrey.

Suprised it is Andy D'Urso as he is from East London, I think, so it seems unusual that he would ref a Charlton home game. It is like having a ref from Haywards Heath at Withdean.

We did indeed. Ended up being fine. He has been terrible throughout his career mind.

 

[Coca-Cola Kid]

Hate him after Luton however, he was impressive when we won 2-0 last time we had him.

Don't think they worry about such things these days. The ref at Leeds was from Yorkshire. I know it's a big county but....
Anyway I thought D'urso was OK last time but he can often get the crowd going with some of his antics.
