I was sitting watching them review the offside laughing to myself hysterically.

Re: RATE THE REF - Darren Bond v Brentford

He must have reffed that with his eyes closed. Absolutely woeful.

At one point Burnley were in posession when he stopped the game for a Brentford player with a sore foot. Then gave Brentford the ball to restart without making the 'injured' player leave the pitch.
