Bring back Karl Kirkpatrick!!

In answer to the question posed, yes, by a country mile.

Ganson is my favourite ref he doesn't take any nonsense and likes the game to flow as best possible, also its funny when hes reffin us always comes to the south stand or away end if were away to accept the boo's

I had forgotten about him, we didn't get on as I recall.

Being a ref is a bit like being an artist. None of them are any good until they retire (or die). What on earth make anybody take up the profession I dont know. All they get is criticism and abuse. Lets just be grateful that there are people out there willing to do the job - no mattter how badly - because its not something I'd ever wish to do.

Did he get on with anyone..

Ganson...he's a great Ref and an even better video Ref.

Hullkr's Match winning try against Cas was perfectly legal and not one person disagrees with Ganson on that.

from the safe and calm surroundings of a Video Room, watching frame by frame replays of a bloke dropping the ball and never again regathering it in any way shape or form Ganson correctly rules a perfect grounding..

Steven Ganson a Genious disguised as a fat bumbling idiot.

Totally irrelevant to the original post but Mr Ganson was in Stockton Heath last night enjoying a meal out.
I considered offering to pay for his meal in return for some 'leeway' with any future decisions on the pitch but thought better of it.

Anyone else remember the trip to Whitehaven in the Cup in 04? We stopped in the Little Chef just off the M6 somewhere around Penrith to find the place full of Wire fans & Stevie G with his team of officials. Good banter on both parts with the guy about to ref our team - seem to remember we tried to get him to pay for everyones' meals with no joy. Also a huge chorus of boos when Denis Betts walked into the caff.

Can't see that happening in football...
