The name of that referee?

Let me explain myself.

If we come away from a game complaining about bookings for opposition I class him as ok. When you compare some of the performances we've had over the years that wasn't one that got me hit under the collar.
 
Because that was the single most biased refereeing performance I have ever seen in 35 years of watching football. He without doubt cheated that day, but unfortunately for him we were so superior it did not matter in the end. Some of his decisions were beyond belief and would have been embarrassing for a referee at any level yet he did it from the first minute to the last. I'm sure he must cried himself to sleep that night such was his hell-bent devotion in trying to affect the game towards Wolves. I presumed he was bumped back down to Sunday League level as we have not had him since but his dislike for anything Man City burns bright. Though I must say today was mild compared to that home games against Wolves. He's a cheating twat, End of.
Wasn't that where we won 3-1 I think with Vinny being sent off? I think the Vinny sending off was actually the only decision he got right all night. If it was that match, i will fully agree. The most astonishing referee performance I've ever seen. Diabolical.

I agree, that Wolves game was literally the most one sided refereeing performance I've ever seen. I can remember even back then we had a dodgy refereeing thread so god know what my choice of language was like that night. I do remember before the game though someone trying to point out that we only moan at refs when we lose and yet that night everyone was in shock despite us winning convincingly in the end.
 
He was an absolute shambles. Never mind the two blatant elbows in the face by Defoe, the one where Fernandinho got booked was blatant cheating. Typical game against an Allardyce team, but you would wonder which one he managed if you see the ref's performance.
 
I kind of let him off for not booking the Sunderland player who went studs up on the back of Sergio's calf because I thought it was a tough one to see, but as the game progressed I realised I wasn't wrong mentioning to my dad that Atwell is a fucking awful referee.

He missed two elbows by defoe and allowed Sunderland to kick us all over the pitch yet one little nudge by our players he was quick to blow for a foul. When you see the majority of officials in the champions league you realise that the standard of referees in the premier league is a joke and the FA need to do something about it.

I thought he look lost, not in control.

Even if you have a shocker it's best to give the impression of being in charge.
