That Sammon red card was beyond belief.Ridiculous comment. If you make an honest mistake in your line of work would you expect to be called an absolute disgrace? Referees make mistakes. I agree that they should ultimately be held accountable for their performances, (just as anyone in any job should) but to dress it up as anything more than that is crazy.He's a disgrace to refereeing, as he manages to combine getting big decisions frequently incorrect with that horrible "look at me, centre of attention" approach that the worst referees frequently have.

"Best ref is the young guy - not Atwell - but the ref we had against QPR. Has a really strong backbone and does not get swayed by personalities or crowds." - Fuse.It tells its own story that the one competent referee you know is the only one who's name you don't. How it should be.
On Boxing Day my family and I watched Cambridge Utd play Braintree Town. The referee was a woman and I think it was the lino who Andy Gray got into trouble over. She was okay. Bit late on the whistle to home crowd shouts and the Braintree players took the piss a bit but on the whole she was competent. The Cambridge crowd on the other hand drove us mad with unfunny stereotypical sexist abuse, Unfunny is the important word in that sentence.
I remember a few years back in a game against West Ham at Villa Park him giving a penalty against us when the Villa player think it was Delaney or Hendrie had his back to the ball.
is he the one who had recovered from cancer a while back ?
Oh for the heady days of old when the only ref most people knew was Clive Thomas.
Video of incident here
in the same game as the "incident" she gave one of the worst offside decisions ever, but no one remembers that. I have no problem with female officials, when I was playing we had a few just breaking through and they were as good and as bad as thier male counterparts
