D'URSO is the referee on Tuesday night.

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

I reckon the referee could be a wanker.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Do you really think it'll need livening up? The police should request a change of referee.

Oh dear.

 

[Mackenzie]

D'Urso.....ffs.

 

[-gully-]

Might Smuggle a Giant Randy Grizzly Bear in on a stadium tour and leave it in his office, just to let him know how popular he is. Give him somewhere to put his cards too.

 

[matt_32510]

sake, big game like this needs a decent ref.

[upthealbion1970]

He was also the ref at Luton in the paint pot area final a few years back. David Livermore red card anyone?

 

[upthealbion1970]

sake, big game like this needs a decent ref.

It's a big game for both teams but is it really classed as a "big" game

 

[Thunder Bolt]

He also reffed the JPT semi final at Luton.

Too late

 

[bobby smith]

He was ok the last time he reffed us.

Yes He was, but Historically He is one of the WORST Refs I have ever seen

[upthealbion1970]

When he's bad he's spectacularly bad

 

[Trigger Finger]

D'Urso has treated us badly in the past as well.

Wonder if we'll share more than 5 penalties...

 

[One Love]

He's already reffed one match this season at the Amex, the Sunderland game, and denied us a penalty. Luckily we won anyway.

But he got that penalty shout right! Even though the whole ground thought he didn't.

 

[grawhite]

He's not fit to ref in the football league, thought with the new stadium we wouldn't get all the shitholes anymore.

[Exiled in Exeter]

List of achievements!

I think it's fairly obvious that D'Urso had been bribed to let Leeds win on Satdi but bottled it in the second half once he realised people would work it out if he carried on.

I and everyone else who has watched football in this country in the last decade are sick and tired of this incompetent twat ruining football matches. Every referee has bad games, but with D'Urso it's every game. Although i realise it's impossible to dare to imply any criticism of referees to the FA, i believe it would be worth sending them a dossier imploring them to finally put this gimp out of his misery. So i've started to compile one, and if anyone wants to add to it that would be great. Here's what i've got so far.

Sam Allardyce calls D’Urso “a disgrace”.

Online petition started last year to stop D’Urso refereeing any more games.

Steve Coppell – “Andy D’Urso’s record speaks for itself.” Leicester agree.

A classic D’Urso performance at Swansea.

http://www.scfc.co.uk/03/03brih.html

He sends off the wrong player. At least it was a Palace one.

Shock horror, D’Urso had no control at all over a London derby (scroll down a bit)

Who do Everton fans think is a “time-wasting prick”?

D’Urso awards a penalty after initially signalling a corner.

http://www.yanks-abroad.com/content.php?mode=reports&id=001380

He sets up a Liverpool goal and – unusually – awards a contentious penalty.

D’Urso gets an average well below 4 out of 10 from Ipswich fans.

D’Urso becomes the first man to give Cardiff and Millwall fans something to agree about.

D’Urso goes back on his word and fails to report a goalkeeper who swore at Albion fans.

He just never seems to get the measure of a game.
