[Football] Who us the best ref in the EPL?

[Weststander]

Maybe because he is new to the Premiel League list and doesn't get allocated too many games. Thus he hasn't been fully corrupted into the Premier League's way of doing things.

To be honest there are a few refs l shudder at seeing when l take my seat at athe Amex, Darren England, David Coote, Tony Harrington, Graham Scott, and yes, Michael Salisbury among them.

And to think l used to moan at the likes of Lee Mason, Jon Moss, and Kevin Friend . . .

Friend and Atkinson were disgraceful.

Giving key blatant wrong decisions that cost clubs, with an arrogant ‘I am a deity’ persona.

 

[kevo]

Oliver and Antony Taylor I guess. Difficult question.

Indeed. Kevin Friend reffed the FA Cup 2nd round tie between Horsham and Swansea in 2007 when l was on the committee there.

Not a very pleasant individual when l spoke to him.

We drove pass Stockley Park yesterday, on the way home from a day trip out.
Mrs AR pointed to THEIR building, and said that's where I used to work
So it got me thinking about all those decisions again, after I had put them to the back of my noggin.
Bloody marvellous

NSC … there’s no escape from the autopsy.

We need an EPL win, soon, to move on.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

This isn’t saying much. Even Stevie Wonder would look good amongst this current crop.

Nah, Stevie Wonder is too fat to keep up.

 

[jcdenton08]

I know it’s a bank holiday, but I’m surprised Attwell and Salisbury haven’t been demoted/suspended yet.

Given Webb’s apology - which shows they are working and have addressed it - I’d have thought they’d want to act quicker.

The media are all over this - Sky Sports, MOTD and MOTD2 aren’t letting it go. TalkSport/606/social media…

They seem to act like a quick apology for the most blatant of the “errors” (if that’s what they were) will suffice to put the little guys back in their box.

So are some of the real referees!

I was impressed with Darren Bond in our win at Plucky. They kept diving 25 yards out, unlike their players, he never fell for it.

Darren Bond was impressive this evening. Leicester resorted to some blatant dives in the last 20 minutes, also a faux head injury in a nothing coming together with VVD. All calmly waived away by Bond. It wasn’t just that he ignored cheating, it led to more football.

I know nsc/Amex crowds hate refs, but is Darren Bond someone we don’t mind?

I agree, I actually sort of forgot the ref was on the pitch which is the whole point really isn’t, officiate the game not be a part of it…

 

[Flounce]

We have Madley today and have had some of our best results when he has reffed us

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Ray Tinkler, Pat Partridge or Jack Taylor. Can’t make my mind up.

 

[PTC Gull]

Agree Bond had a good game yesterday.
I find Jerry Seinfeld (AKA Peter Banks) inconsistent.

There’s not a single ref in the premier league that is up to the job. Every single one purposely or subconsciously favours the big names …. And that’s assuming they actually know the rules.

[Han Solo]

The commentator did the "the ref today is Bond, Darren Bond" thing one too many times yesterday.

Football fans haven't liked any referee in the past and won't do it this time either. People just haven't heard of him enough yet. One small mistake is all it takes though.

I think they're alright apart from that though.

Mind you, if that's the case the sandwiches in Manchester must have been a bit naff this year.
