Career

He began refereeing in 1986, in local leagues. He was appointed to the assistant referees' lists of the Football League in 1993, and the Premier League in 1994.

In 1996 he was an assistant referee for the FA Cup Final at Wembley on 11 May, when Manchester United defeated Liverpool with a late Eric Cantona goal.

In the same year he became a FIFA assistant referee, officiating in that capacity during Euro '96 in England, notably in the group match on 9 June between Germany and the Czech Republic at Old Trafford, which Germany won 2-0.[5]

Walton was promoted to the Football League List of referees in 1998, despite a reported comment from the former Wimbledon manager Joe Kinnear that he was "too thick to become a referee".[6] At this point, he also stepped down from the FIFA assistant referees' list.

In 2003 he was added to the Select Group of referees, and was man-in-the-middle for the Football League (LDV Vans) Trophy Final between Bristol City and Carlisle United on 6 April, the 'Robins' triumphing 2-0.[7] He also refereed an (old) First Division play-off semi-final second leg[8] and an (old) Division Three play-off semi-final first leg[9] at the end of season 2002-03.

His first ever Premiership match in charge was the 4-3 home win by Wolverhampton Wanderers over Leicester City at Molineux on 25 October 2003.[10]

At the end of January 2007, Walton accompanied Regional Referees' Manager Ray Olivier (a Football League referee himself) to Guayaquil, Ecuador, in order to carry out an "Advanced Course for Referees' Instructors" on behalf of the FA and Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol.[11] Olivier is quoted as saying: "It is also a great fillip to have someone of Peter’s calibre as part of the team and his experience of refereeing in the Premiership is invaluable to those referees taking part in this workshop."[12]

Walton is also the referees' representative within Prospect, the trades union which began speaking for Premier League referees as from February 2007.[13]

For most of the 2006-07 season, the caption writer on BBC's "Match of the Day" football programme had introduced Peter Walton as "Referee - Paul Walton" - a glaring error. He finally corrected the information for the 28 April 2007 edition.[14]

On 20 October 2007, the Match of the Day caption writer once again mistook Peter for Paul.[14]

Walton refereed the FA Community Shield between Manchester United and Portsmouth on Sunday 10 August 2008

Walton refereed Tottenham Hotspur's massive 9-1 victory over Wigan in the Premier league in November 2009.

Walton was the referee on 27 February 2010, when Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey suffered a broken leg after a tackle by Stoke's Ryan Shawcross. Walton quickly summoned the medical personnel and sent off Shawcross.

In the 2009/10 season, Peter Walton did everything he could to make sure Manchester City didnt finish in the top four. Two displays of incompetence against Liverpool and Everton at the City of Manchester Stadium where he failed to keep up with the play on several occasions, probably because he is 50, may well ensure that Walton will get an added FA bonus for preventing City reaching the Champions League.

Said that myself on the matchday thread last night
that is three times he's dicked us now mate.
The 2-3 against red scouse, where he sent Zabba off
Red scouse this season, and Everton.

That first one you mention he didn't send off Skrtel, i dont even think we got a free kick for that rake down Jo's back
 
I'll give him one thing, he was consistent. Consistenly bad.

Why wasn't Arteta booked for simulating when he went down holding his face?
Why wasn't he booked for a professional foul on Tevez?
How come there was only 4 mins added on when Tim Howard was down for about 5mins? Plus all substitutions.
etc.

Am i right in saying this guy is a scouser, and if so what the fuck is he doing referring a team from his home town (I was under the impression referre's could not referee a team near their geographical location??)

Also, how do the club go about not having him referee a game with us any longer? (As i seem to remember baconface doing something similar with another referee a few seasons ago!!)
 
Walton was too cosy with everton he walked for the second half with an everton player laughing and joking with him Howard Webb was the fourth official and was far too cosy with the everton bench chatting with moyes at one point I thought he was going to sit down with them

Thats two games against these bastards where the decisions have gone their way with two crucial free kicks and a penalty none of them should have been given He was too keen to book City players and ignore offences that should have been automatic booking for everton

Mancini was wound up all game, not just at the end, because of the cynical tactics and the poor officials.

The time added on at the end 4mins was a disgrace having warned them for the slow goal kicks he did nothing about it also howard was down for 2 mins when he got injured amazing that he couldn't take kicks but could boot it out his hands and was never picked up on the three occasions when he was going outside the are as he kick the ball

With these bastards a strong ref is required and walton is not one as he allowed the sly pulls and pushes that everton work on and the dicing to get free kicks in crucial areas that ex rag saha blantently dived three times so bad that even walton did fall for it but he failed to book him
