Which Referee Do You Respect The Most?

Recommended Posts

Posted

Currently for me, Mark Clattenburg seems to be at the top of his game. I thought he did well at Leicester/Swansea and last night in the Champions League he seemed very fair and restrained with just the right balance of allowing the game to flow and dealing with incidents.

Clattenburg, takes control from the off. Explains all his decisions and does so in a way they crowd can see why he made the decision he made. Supremely confident in his own judgement meaning he doesn't dither and give half hearted decisions so the crowd don't start getting as frustrated. Very experienced also, ref'd at the top level and doesn't allow the occasion to influence him. Of course he gets decisions wrong, thats the nature of the beast while they have very little technological help but seems to get more right than wrong.

All referees make mistakes.

 

But referees that compound their mistakes by getting nervous and twitchy and look to even things up need shooting.

 

 

That is why Clattenburg is the best we've got. He looks at each incident in isolation rather than basing his decision on what has happened previously.

Oliver is the best closely followed by Clattenburg.

Dean, Atkinson & Mariner are ok. Sometimes control games really well but other times shite.

Pawson, Moss, Madley. The less said the better.

Clattenburg. Don't really rate any of the others.

 

Last ref I remember respecting and liking was Howard Webb. 

 

And COllina of course is the GOAT.

 

To be fair, best for the refs to fade into the background so you don't notice them or remember their name

Clattenburg and Oliver - by far the best.

 

Don't like Moss or Mason.

 

Used to dislike Mike Dean but he's a decent referee under the arrogant attitude.

Clattenburg and Oliver - The two refs I rate the highest.

The funny thing is Palace fans really hate him (Cattenburg) and fear the bloke being in charge of the FA Cup final..

 

Guess some refs just get a bad reputation based on a game or two.

 

In general tend to agree he is a good ref who seems to communicate well which others don't

Clattenberg did drop a bollock when be gave that handball at City vs Spurs.

Otherwise I'd say hes the best nowadays.

Hate Atkinson. Hes most overrated going. Fact hes going to Euros is a joke

Madley for me is on another level. We've had him 3 or 4 times and every time he's looked to shaft us in some way shape or form, away at Burnley a couple of seasons ago he couldn't wait to send Martin off, booked him the first time for absolutely nothing and then had the biggest grin on his face when he blew up for a "dive", couldn't get his yellow and red cards out quick enough, even though it was a trip over the ball and we scored straight after the incident, MArtin shouting "I slipped".. then last season at home to Wigan every little thing he blew up for, gave them absolutely everything, booked so many of our players it was unreal, our lads gave up in the end in that game for fear of being sent off. he never lets the game flow, and I'm certain he like the whistle sound because he can't wait to blow the fcking thing. 

 

So yes... I totally agree with that wnkstain. Moss... good grief lol.. I saw yours match with Forest a few seasons ago where he sent Kasper off for throwing the ball hahahaha. it seems certain clubs get certain refs who despise them, us with madley you lot with moss.

Clattenburg/Oliver as the rest have mentioned. From the outside, Clattenburg is seen to favour us (and what is used as their justification is the Utd game last season). But whenever he's reffed us, he's been perfectly impartial and doesn't shy away from big calls. Doesn't lose control of matches and knows how to assert his authority. Michael Oliver is much the same. 

 

Not saying they never mistakes, as they do, but as someone else said, they don't use that to tarnish the rest of their performance.

 

Mike Dean isn't as bad as some make out in my opinion. Andre Marriner is alright.

 

Mike Jones/Craig Pawson/Jon Moss/Stuart Attwell all seem very weak. They can't handle big games and often have more controversy about their decisions than other refs. Special mention for Gavin Ward, too. Twat.

Clattenburg is the only one who looks like he's played the game to a decent level. 

 

Funnily enough out of all of the current PL crop of referees, Moss was the one who played at the highest level (conference north).

My mates the ref tonight

In all seriousness and I'm gonna throw a curveball in here cos I don't think anyone has said them but I really rate that Mark Clattenburg and Michael Oliver. Clattenburg was more like CLASSenburg last weekend and Michael Oliver is the ref this weekend. He'll be more like Michael CHAMPIONEES Oliver come monday

Posted

always thought clattenburg was a pr ick. seems right up his own arse.

does appear to have turned into a good ref of late (especially for us lol).
