That entire list is ****e. PL refs are ****e, Clattenburg the only one I have some semblance of confidence in.
I think that that is harsh. They have improved. But they just need help. There is only so much that their eyes can see and they're told to make decisions with 100% confidence. The sooner the sport brings in video referees and have referees wear a microphone like they do in Rugby, the better. The ones I really do not like are the arrogant ones. Dean and Moss are the biggest culprits.
I am more concerned with our team than who officiates. Leicester must be thinking an easy three points and 10 goals to the good.
They are all **** apart from Clattenburg. Anyone who knows anything about the game can tell the difference between a dive and a foul. ****ing crap the lot of them. That's got that off my chest. And Dean suffers from little man syndrome.
What I saw during the Euros Clattenburg and Atkinson stood out as a couple of the best ref's there. I think you are being a bit harsh.
Is this list in any particular order. Doesn't seem to be alphabetical. Is Clattenburg at the top of the list because of his poncy cup final tattoos.
