The Italian ref last night, Davide Massa, was the best I think I've seen at Villa Park for a long time. Control of the game and players without wanting to be the star of the show. The complete opposite we see most games.

PFMOL is just a personal cash cow for Howard Webb. The sooner the contract is removed from them the better. It's not as if it's a referees' organisation, it's a private limited company. Most refs are freelance so it makes little difference to them who pays them their £250k.

What I'd like to see at corners is what some grassroots refs tell kids - if you carry on wrestling the ref will give the first offence he sees when the ball is in play so either a free kick or a penalty. It would never happen in the Premier League though.
