Best Referee

[Jamwolf]

We spend a lot of time slagging off referees so, for a change, who do we think is the best Premier League referee ?

 

[JadeWolf]

Despite his mistake for us the other week, I’d say Taylor. Followed by Tierney.

It's hard to give credit to any of the current breed of arrogant, egocentric charlatans that masquerade as referees

 

[Monk]

Would agree and the ref Saturday didn't make any major mistakes.But tongue in cheek I would say the South Bank always scrupulously fair and unbiased

 

[TheConcourse]

Tierney.

Genuinely like choosing between chlamydia and Gonorrhoea.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Despite his mistake for us the other week, I’d say Taylor. Followed by Tierney.

Tierney is by far the worst imo

He’s not a cheat, or biased , he’s just absolutely awful

We’ve just been lucky we have had some good results with him as ref

 

[waveney wolf]

I was asked to referee a charity match years ago ,, incredibly difficult to do ..I never criticised a ref when playing after that .

It's ridiculous how every defeat we blame the officials .

 

[Darvo]

Not sure … but one thing I would add is that they have a very, very difficult job.

There needs to be a spotlight shone on the players for all their cheating and feigning injury. I’d have given the Sheff Utd player, who went down quicker than Linda Lovelace for their penalty, a 10 match ban.

May as well start a new thread - Who is your favourite serial killer.

I thought the ref we had Saturday, Tim Robinson, was pretty decent (decent opening bat as well if I remember). Spurs made it hard with all their diving around and feigning injury but he allowed play to go on as much as possible, wasn't too fussy and added on the time at the end for all their shenanigans.

 

[Ponty]

Tim Robinson was excellent at the weekend but not seen enough to know if that’s his normal level - even Atwell has had some good games. Taylor seems to be generally good. I said on the other thread that Robinson wasn’t trying to be the star of the show, something Oliver seemed to want after being a breath of fresh air in his first couple of seasons. More recently Oliver has been less arrogant and his performances have improved and once again he seems to be one of the better refs.

 

[Plovdiv Wolf]

Tim Robinson & the man city one let the games flow some what.

[Brizzlewolf]

It's a bit like trying to decide which toilet to use on the last day of a music festival.......

Agreed, its a pity something can't be done about players feigning serious injuries. On Saturday we witnessed this a number of times I expect Arg's players to be tutored in the dark arts. Porro annoyed me in particular. Spent ages on the ground moaning to the ref then once up ran around like a fit Bambi. He did likewise against Chelsea on the Monday night game and the cameras caught him giving a sly wink on one occasion, surely PGMOL should alert its officials when it has seen a player trying to cheat the ref. This is so serious because today we are in an era when yellow cards are given out so freely and we are losing players on yellow card suspensions.

 

[Glow69]

Tierney for me.

To be fair I was going mad at Porro at the game for rolling round like he'd been shot, then I rewatched the match later and realised Gomes was very lucky to not be booked for going right down his achilles. Likewise Johnson seemed to have made a meal over Kilman landing on him, but definitely caught an accidental arm to the face.

 

[Netherton Wolf]

Tierney for me.

Me to on the games I've seen this season

 

[Rednal Wolf]

Jack Taylor OBE " The butcher from Wolverhampton " ( supporters of a certain age will get it ! )

Today's refs .........all meh and as effective as VAR IMHO.

 

[MickHolmesFanClub]

The current crop of referees are probably the worst I can ever recall but I do think they are not helped by the presence of VAR lurking in the background.
I would also add that it is not an easy job - especially as every week you have 22 'cheats' on the pitch trying to con you or, at the very least, influence your every decision (take Porro's ridiculous squealing on Saturday as an example).

Of the current set of refs, I would agree with others that Tierney is probably the best of them although I think Craig Pawson is also not too bad. The ref on Saturday (Tim Robinson) was pretty good for most of the game and tried to keep the play flowing where he could. He di, however, seem to lose a little control in the last 10 minutes or so

 

[WickedWolfie]

We spend a lot of time slagging off referees so, for a change, who do we think is the least bad Premier League referee ?

Fixed that for you....

Taylor, Tierney or Oliver l suppose.

Gillette is the worst a team can get.... lol

With or without lipstick???

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

Bruno Fernandes

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Whenever we win. That one.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Jack Taylor or Roger Kirkpatrick.

 

[Erick1011]

Whenever we win. That one.

I'll second this one, LOL

 

[Erick1011]

But in all seriousness, I think @Jonzy54 's gotta be in the running here

 

[Longford Wolf]

It doesn’t matter what we all think of today’s refs, none of them are as bad as Uriah Rennie. That bloke gave us all indigestion.
He would have fitted in seamlessly if he was still reffing nowadays.

The only referee to blow for full time when the ball was in the air from a corner. He loved controversy.

I'm just going to question this to assess how close I am to forgetting everything I once knew - I think it was half time?

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

Best ref...................has to be Dr Peter Brady.

 

[Rabid Wolf]

Anyone mentioned Pierluigi Collina?
