I'm currently gathering evidence for a general theory that states: Every PL ref selects their worst game of the season to be at CoMS. With every ref so far this season it has held up, with the exception being the young lad with the Army haircut - just forget the match. One of the fast trackers or trast fackers.
This guy today was worse than abysmal. Anyone from the Professional Refs Org sitting in the stand, making any kind of assessment of his performance, could not have been impressed with anything. I grant the pen (Jole, why the billy buggery make a challenge, the cheating little Shite was going down as soon as yer breathed on him, and no, this isn't a moan, we wouldn't have got dick shit if Dzeko had gone down) was a pen but Jeez, the bugger hadn't hit the ground before the Follicly Challenged Whistling Hippo Turd was pointing to the spot.
He has previous as well. I have good evidence he performed similarly at Goodison last time he was there. He is putting to bed the idea of a 'homer'.
Our defence today was poor, but compared to the ref it was a world class performance.
