    The age limit used to be 45 I think but that must have changed now.

    Must have done. Mike Dean, 53, and Martin Atkinson, 50, still regularly upsetting people.

    The 45 age limit was dropped in 2016.

    Whoever wants to be a referee and be subjected to public abuse every week for relatively little money needs their heads examining.:emoticon-0138-think

    Had to go a long way down the thread last to find this one.

    Saturday's ref is Josh Smith. A youngster at 32.

    We've had him twice before this season, 3.2 EFL Cup win over the mighty Sutton and 1.0 home defeat to Bournemouth. Can't recall much of either game.

    Positively, he did our 4.0 win over Luton last season.

    Has reffed the Jacks 3 times this season, two 3.1 defeats and a 1.0 win.

    Michael Salisbury at Reading.

    This season a 0-1 loss at Coventry and 2-1 win at QPR.

    That's what you get for someone who was the Father of the Bride and thinks he's a modern day Cyrano de Bergerac.

    Did our 0-1 loss to Blackburn earlier this season and a win/draw v Millwall and Wycombe respectively last.

    Saturday's ref.

    John Busby, new to the Championship this season(okay he did 1 game last season).

    We have had the pleasure twice.

    2.3 home defeat to Sheffield United. He sent off Morrison. A bit harsh in my opinion.

    2.0 home win v Cov (sorry Robbie).

    The law of averages says a 1.1 draw then.

    I don’t think he had any real choice but to send Morro off.

    Could have looked the other way. If someone had said Masky was after him. Distraction technique.

    We have had some choice refs this season but the little rotund one today was IMO the worst. He was just a bungling little weeble who was clueless.
    The only thing he got right was awarding us a pen.
    He was so bad I was yearning for either Stroud or Hooper:emoticon-0138-think

    -10 points for exaggeration Nin.

    No one is worse than those 2. Might be as bad but no worse. Just not possible!!!

    Nooooo!!!!

    The poisoned dwarf!!!! What is it about short refs? Little nan syndrome?

    Be careful what you wish for Nin. Could have been worse, much worse - Hooper.
