Michael Oliver!!!

How this man has become a 'FIFA' referee, I'll never know. Each time I've seen him in charge of a match, he has made at least one mistake which has had some effect on the outcome of the game.

The ones I remember in particular:
Holt's sending off against Reading
The decision to award Stoke the throw in which led to their goal
Penalty decisions at Anfield yesterday. Having watched the highlights on MOTD, Liverpool should have had at least 2 penalties and Villa 1.

I know he's been 'fast-tracked' to become the youngest PL referee thanks to his father's influence, but he certainly seems to incur more than his fair share of criticism from managers, players and last but not least - THE FANS!!!! <doh>

Aren't you forgetting the ghost goal I think he awarded Reading when they played Watford (or vice-versa)? That was the most bizarre refereeing decisions I think I've ever seen!
 
He's a spitting image of a regular at a venue I work the door at on a weekend. I hate them both equally.
