Sharknado seems to be on every bloody week. Deep Blue Sea and Snakes On A Plane are on all the time too, I bet Sam L Jackson is well chuffed, he's made loads of great films and they keep showing that **** every week.
If your budget is limited, with a minor one word change to the lyrics, you could use the following as the theme music to your masterpiece No charge for the suggestion btw. .
It could have been worse much worse actually. Messrs Jones - Foy - Atkinson - Oliver - Pawson - Madley for sure would have been. However, i agree on the quality of Neil Swarbrick. btw..... 2014 FAC Final ref. Lee Probert is now back in the fold after missing so much of this season so far.
That's class. Except you forgot to change the name of the website to hullcitytigers.com, but I'm being picky.
I look forward to Keith Hackett's review: Former referees' chief Hackett criticises 'appalling' standards By Simon Stone BBC Sport Former referees' boss Keith Hackett claims officiating standards in the Premier League over Christmas were "bordering on appalling". Hackett, 70, has named five current top-flight referees who should be removed at the end of the season. In addition, he believes successor Mike Riley should step down from his job. Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) has rejected Hackett's claims, stating standards have risen since Riley replaced Hackett in 2010. Former Fifa referee Hackett claims he counted "over 20 major errors" during the Christmas period. He cited Wayne Routledge's red card during Swansea's game at QPR on 1 January, which was later overturned, as being of particular concern. "I see standards falling," he said. "Over the Christmas period it reached standards that were bordering on appalling. "Routledge received a reckless challenge. My expectation was that his opponent might receive a red card." C'mon ref!! Managers' recent frustrations "The officials clearly got it horribly wrong. Frustrated is an understatement. Baffled is more the feeling" - West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce on Alex Song's disallowed goal in last month's defeat by Arsenal. "I am losing a little bit of faith. I'm limited on what I can say and I'm tired of it. It's hard when we are constantly getting decisions like this. It sounds like me moaning but I don't want to be talking about it, I only care about the football" - Swansea manager Garry Monk on the Routledge red card. "We were mainly talking about the referee. I hope there's no lip readers otherwise we're both in serious trouble" - Hull's Steve Bruce on his touchline chat with Jose Mourinho during the 2-0 loss to Chelsea. Hackett added: "There was a pretty poor performance from Andre Marriner in the Manchester City-Everton game. First of all the failure to spot a challenge that resulted in Sergio Aguero having to go off, then a non-penalty decision. "I was with a group of Fifa referees from Nigeria who watched with amazement. Do you think I took joy in that?" Marriner is one of the five referees identified by Hackett in his blog, You Are The Ref, who in his view should finish at the end of the season. Mike Jones, Lee Mason, Chris Foy and last season's FA Cup final referee Lee Probert are the others. "You can't live on your reputation," Hackett said. "At the moment, these guys are performing well below the level." Kevin Kilbane, Radio 5 live pundit "Some of the decisions made in and around Christmas and over this last week or so have looked ridiculous. Some of the decisions are beyond belief at times. A lot of the decisions early on in the season have been quite good. But when you get some howling errors they seem to escalate." Hackett, who refereed at the European Championship and the Olympic Games in 1988 and who led PGMOL for almost six years after replacing Philip Don in March 2004, feels Riley should take responsibility. "I am criticising very strongly," said Hackett. "If the guy is at the bottom of the league then his job is at risk. At this moment in time he [Riley] is more than bottom. "I am seeing a regression. The performances of the referees are not acceptable. He must carry the responsibility." Information supplied to the BBC by PGMOL states that the accuracy of decision-making by referees in the Premier League is currently at an all-time high. The figures claim accuracy on major decisions was up to 95% from 94.1%, accuracy on decisions in the penalty box stood at 98%, and offsides were now 99% accurate, compared to 92% when Riley took over. PGMOL adds that delegate marks for referees have gone up every season since Riley succeeded Hackett and the latest data shows referees are being asked to do 176 high-speed runs and 50 sprints in a game - a 64% increase on five seasons ago.
I've just been reading the blog mentioned in that story. It's ace, Hackett just grills PGMOL in every post. A lot of it I agree with it, but it comes across very emotive, as if they've really pissed him off at some point.
Hackett is bang on. None of the refs fill me with confidence any more. Every game you see on MOTD seems to have at least one appalling decision at some point.
Why would anyone normal want to be a ref these days? I know the money's good, but I know I would find it a miserable existence.
I'm sure I posted on here a few weeks ago that there was a large number of red card errors (missed or given) over the Xmas period. Like 16 or something (can't remember the exact number now). Hardly getting most things right. They're clearly counting throw ins and corners into it but the big decisions are still wrong.
Hackett has not only said that Mike Riley should go but also PL refs. Mike Jones - Andre Marriner - Lee Mason and Chris Foy should be stood down now. He also says that Lee Probert should go if he cannot prove his fitness soon. Mike Riley was hopeless as a ref and equally clueless as Hacketts replacement. I would appoint Mark Halsey in Riley's place and also allow the refs to speak to the media after games but ONLY on any controvershal decisions. It would also help if the linesman could be taught what is offside and what is not.
You know it's coming, there's nothing else to focus on. How many decisions can you get right? http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish_football.cfm?page=3156
