[gawthorpe_view]

Crap ref.

[ClaretTony]

Crap ref.

Involved in the first VAR balls up on the Turf last season

[Vegas Claret]

other than a couple all the refs are absolute gash

[dougcollins]

You can kind of guess which ref we're getting by who we're playing. Though I'm a little surprised it's not Tierney.

[FCBurnley]

It’s got to a stage where the VAR ref is more important than the match ref. CT. Perhaps you should start to list them in that order haha

[Tricky Trevor]

Hooper has always seemed OK for me. Usually doing Championship mind.

Does that not illustrate how difficult the job is?

[MACCA]

Mason, Moss and Hopper all in succession away.

All massive Homer's, they'll probably wheel out Jones for the next one...

Having a bit of a bad run of late.

Let's hope Taylor, Marriner and Atkinson have our next 3 as they're all a realistic chance of points.

Though retired, Jones is no doubt still fitter than Moss and Hooper, and more fit to referee than Mason.

Probably.
He was a well known homer, but least he seemed to get better and better the more experienced he got, to the point I was happy to see him in the middle.

Not like some still around these days, they seem to have been poor to very poor for approaching a decade.

yeah possibly, but it also indicates that having people who have never played the game and who are unfit could be a problem too

Listening to the majority of pundits, who have played the game, doesn't fill me with any confidence that they could do as good a job as those who are doing it!

I would have always been happy to have Jones in half of our games in a season provided it was all the home games.

I didnt realise his name was Mike , I heard him called Homer Jones that much.

I think they could as the VAR ref, too many soft decisions at the moment imho
