In your world EVERY ref we have is inept, not up to it, useless or whatever.....
Not true at all, I think I've been pretty complimentary of most of the refs I've seen so far this season.

The one frustration I did have was with referee's apparent inconsistency with the good old-fashioned "shoulder charge" (as far as I am aware, it is still a legal challenge). Worrall goes shoulder-to-shoulder with Shrewsbury player, uses strength (yes, it surprised me too!) = free kick. Minutes later, Shrewsbury player completely wipes out Mooney chasing a through ball. Exactly the same challenge = play on! Minor quibble maybe but it was frustrating...
I was just talking to someone who didn't make the game on saturday and said to him that I didn't think the ref was the worse I've seen but the inconsistency was appalling, particularly the shoulder charging as previously mentioned.This is how I saw it too, very very inconsistent
Assisting are Geoff Russell from Rushden and Nigel Lugg from Chipstead. Dave Bushell from London is Fourth Official.
Any idea if Mr Bushell is from East London Mick? He looked very familiar, pretty sure he refereed my boy last year. He spent most of the match smiling and nodding at Mellon who was claiming that the ref had called nigh on every free kick wrong, even the ones in his favour.....

Really? You remind me of the guy behind who me who sees every tackle by the opposition as a foul and every foul committed by us as a dive by the opposition.
If you consider you comments on the officials from the the match reports below as complimentary I hate to see what you say when they think they are bad!!!!
From Peterborough
Ref:
Was **** at Wembley, was **** today!
And from Coventry
Officials:
The lino to our left was appalling, couldn't see things going on right under his nose, poor Adam was practically strangled and the foul was given the wrong way. The officials managed to miss several blatant hand balls and the ref was also overly fussy and too quick with the yellows. Felt a few more could have gone Coventry's way.
From Swindon
Officials:
The ref is one who always irritates me, when are we going to get some consistency and someone to clamp down on time wasting?
And finally from Walsall
Officials - so frustrating. You have to clamp down on time wasting and kicking the ball away and this one let loads go. Anyone know if Wordsworth was actually offside for the goal?
OBL ... So busted lol

Oh well there you go, it's amazing how people have the time to seek stuff out to prove people wrong! I honestly thought I'd been less judgemental this season, lol!
I do think a lot of it is to do with where you sit. Perspective obviously has a lot to do with your view. Like I said, I just want some consistency, Saturday's one seemed very one sided, others sitting around me felt the same, which is why I say a lot of it must be to do with your perspective.
The worst performances on Saturday were not by the men in black (or whatever colour they wear these day) but by the guys in blue.....and that is why we lost
