The Blackburn Rovers game will be refereed by....

[shaolinpunk]

On the plus side, nothing creates atmosphere quite like dodgy refereeing decisions

 

[Albumen]

Two handed with hands above his head too if I remember correctly?

And most of the stadium heard the slapping noise of the ball to hand.

 

[Badger]

He's already cost us points this season when he officiated the game against Derby and failed to award us the most clear cut penalty you'll ever see. I can't believe how often the league seem to allocate him to our games.

I'm normally quite forgiving with referees because they have a difficult job to do but on this occasion he was AWFUL. Apart from the penalty decision didn't he book one of our players for kicking (tapping) the ball away and repeatedly FAILED to book any of their players for ridiculous time-wasting? I can't remember seeing a worse refereeing performance and really felt he had a huge effect on the result.

When he retires he will be a refereeing pundit on Sky

Edited for you - all the shite ones are

 

[El Turi]

I hate the man as much as the rest of you, but if my memory serves me right, he was the ref for Man City at Withdean and Sunderland at The Amex.

We would have beaten Sunderland in normal time as Calderon was scythed down in the area by their goalie but got booked for diving by the incompetent moron. I don't think he's ever managed to referee us without giving a big decision against us.

Yes he was, and for a home victory over a strong Leeds side at Withdean too. Don't forget his mistakes can affect the other team as well!

 

[NS Herald]

I never ever ever comment on refs pre or post match but in D'Urso's case I will make an exception.

The bloke is a joke and should not ref a game a football at any level as he is totally, utterly and completely inept - end of!

Gus has gone so we should be OK ..............hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............maybe

Edited again for you

 

[Springal]

Reffed us when we beat Charlton at the Valley on a Tuesday night in League One, with Calderon scoring too.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

I think he's a top notch ref and will give him the reception he deserves

 

[TonyW]

Barnes to get sent off and a clear penalty denied.

That's the first 4 minutes taken care of, what about the rest of the game.

 

[Mellotron]

Why are people posting examples of games we won as if this somehow suggests that D'Urso isn't a S**T ref? Which way the match went has nothing whatsoever to do with how s**t a ref he is.

 

[Luke93]

In still made about Luton. :/

 

[Ernest]

It seems ages ago since D'Urso was chased around Old Trafford by Keane and co, he must be past retirement age by now
