Quote: doc-rhino "doesn't hicks take some stick in earlier pages of this.
I wouldn't say child is biased just poor and for the first time this week noticed the league weekly ref markings . for 2 games he got 45 and 50 out of 100 lower than other refs
has that been the case most weeks'"
Hicks has improved exponentially since the end of last/start of this season. He has simply got better and better while Child seems to have found his (substandard) level and stuck to it.
I cringe every time I see Child's name next to "Referee" on the team sheet and continue to wonder how and why he referee's in the top flight.
If it is because that there's no-one better then it's a very sad state of affairs indeed.
