After Kevin Friend’s match winning performance for Leeds last night who is your least favourite referee in the PL? I used to think it was John Moss because he struggles to keep up with play and loves a red card but last night’s performance from Friend was something else. He positively encouraged both teams to get stuck in by letting some very borderline challenges go unpunished then gives a second yellow for a challenge for a 50/50 ball! Then back to allowing anything for the last 40 minutes. At least Moss is consistent.

They are all generally poor, usually with a bent towards the bigger club. Special mention would go to Moss, Dean, Pawson, Atkinson and Kevin 'Friend to the big clubs'

They are all having their freedom to decide taken away from them by the way VAR is used . The first one that doesnt change his decision after being asked to review it will go straight to the top of the class . Friend for one has shown no indication that that might be him and recent events would make him the worst for me though that can easily change on a week to week basis

Michael Oliver is the only one I have any faith in. It's not that I think he's an amazing referee, he just seems at least close to competent. The rest of them are pretty useless IMO, and I mean fking useless. I cannot even compare to any other trade, vocation, job in life where 99.9% of them are absolutely fking useless. I'm sure there'd be some amusing suggestions Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Maybe one in 20 or so matches seems to be fairly reffed. The Premier League obviously think that is a decent ratio. Supporters don't, but we know the Premier League does not care about them. It must be the only organisation that actually despises its customers and treats them like dirt, only for them to come back for more next week. Red and Blue Army!

At the risk of incurring Willo's ire, i'm suprised no one has mentioned Fergie's lifelong buddy . . . drum roll Mark (look at my tattoo's) Clattenburg. Special mention for Howard Webb & Mark Halsey. Of the current bunch, i go with everyone else Kevin Friend. This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.
