Best Referee in A-League

[Bex]

Breeze's most most massive stuff up in Qld was Melbourne's hand ball in the penalty box that he didn't call. It was near the end of the game and would have tied it up at 2-2.

Lets hope we don't get breeze for either of our last two home games. I know the home record for A-League clubs isn't that crash hot at the moment but refereeing less than 20% home wins makes me a little bit nervous. Perhaps in his efforts not to be influenced by the home crowd he is compensating the other way. I can think of at least half a dozen incidents over the last 4 weeks where crucial decisions have gone with the away side and I only watched bits and pieces of the Adelaide game.

As Grennpole said, the problem for me is the linesman (I refuse the call them Assistant Referees, because they're not).

The amount of bad calls going the wrong way for corners/goal kicks and throw ins is appalling. Not to mention off sides. I thought the benefit of the doubt is meant to go to the attacking team.

Sure our refs make some bad calls, it happens everywhere in the world. It's a tough gig. My beef is with the linesman. They make bad obvious bad calls time and time again.

I hadn't noticed this until the last round but they really do get a lot of them wrong!

Was Peter Green the ref that sent Porter off and then needed a security escort off the ground??

No, that was Peter O'Leary.

Topic heading is about as appropriate as asking the folks in world war 2 which top Nazi was the 'nicest'. ;D

Refs are people, they make mistakes, they have good matches and bad matches. Players and managers make mistakes too. Unfortunately, not a lot of work seems to have gone into improving the standard of refereeing, but the players and coaches have improved over these 3 seasons.

If anything, it's unfair to the clubs, managers and players to have poeple reffing them who aren't up to the same standard or better than themselves.
