The French guy is terrible and is the worst marginally in front of Bentham, Ganson is the best ref on the days he leaves his ego at home.

we should be glad that young refs like Childs/Thaler are coming into the game so at least there may be some competition for refereeing at the top level, because there isn't much competition at the moment.

Quote: ladyref "Exactly and I guess in your case it does.

Let me give you a prime example of people believing and quoting what is said by the SKY clowns. How many have commented and believed that Briers was in an off-side position for his interception try at Cas on Saturday? [ Pass. ]

The fact of the matter is that he was entirely correct to not call Briers off-side as the video of the game shows. At the play the ball, Briers was only 8 or so metres back and although out of play, he was still retreating. He continued to retreat another 4 meters or so to where he was when he made the interception. [And your point is what exactly ]

Therefore, being then 12 metres or so back from the play the ball, he has regained the position he should have been in at the play the ball, and has therefore played himself onside and is allowed to take part in play. What could be more simple? [Once again Pass, tbh Its the first time I have seen anybody mention it on here, so why are you trying to defend it?]

The fact is too many judge a referee not based on his performance but on the outcome of a match.
[ you are of course entitled to your opinion.]
As for judging fans on their knowledge then I can only speak from experience and from some of the absolute rubbish some of them spout. [You must be a very naive if you think that every fan will be in agreement with you.] The above being a prime example of that. If this makes me arrogant then so be it. It's not something that particularly bothers me. If it did, I wouldn't go out and do the job every week. If this hits home with you then maybe that's your problem [There you go again your arrogance knows no bounds if it does not bother you what peoples opinion of you as a
referee. Btw I notice that you did not answer my initial quote regarding the inconsistencies of interpreting the rules] it's certainly not mine.'"

So, the voting is
Ian Smith 1
James Childs 1
Steve Ganson x 0.5
Thierry Alibert x 8.5

Though Ganson is several times mentioned as also being the best.

FWIW I agree that Alibert is the worst, and that would be because if he was an English ref, he wouldn't be reffing at this level yet though might in the future, but he's been dropped in at the deep end as some sort of "let's develop French officials" policy. So it's not really his fault, and I do reckon he is improving.

The rest are all, with the exception of the relative newcomer Childs in whose case it is too early to make a fair judgment, pretty decent referees and that is confirmed when across the boards throughout the season each will get pretty much an equal amount of stick. Which, from biased fans, is exactly what you'd expect.

FWIW I reckon Childs does OK.

Ah, Alibert maybe the worst but he's certainly the fastest referee

Love watching him glide across the pitch - especially when players go 80 meters to score and he's the only person who's able to keep up.

Does he? I'm not convinced. icon_wink.gif

To be fair to the refs they have a thankless task. You never see a 10 page thread on a teams forum about a ref having a good game but you see plenty when they have a bad one.
I will have a right old moan at the ref during a game, but when i get the chance to watch the game back (if i have the option) you actually see 90% of those moans were unjustified.


Ganson is without a doubt our best ref although he too can have the odd mare (Leeds/Bradford Millenium??) Alibert is improving although still the worst on offer.
