They're all crap and act like a mafia. There is no other profession I can think of where you can be consistently awful yet not have a word of criticism said about you from the people who's careers and livelihoods you're directly affecting.

All this nonsense about clapping for officials before kick-off, do me favour. Let's all clap for the little dictators. Look at that idiot who stuck his head on a player in the lower leagues the other week, the out pouring of sympathy was farcical. Roles reversed that players loses all his sponsorships and probably doesnt play again the rest of the season.

"Officials are human-beings" is the line they often role out. Human-beings though, least decent ones, own up to their errors and face the music. When has a ref ever done that? Instead they scurry away and hide like foxes down into a den.

New blood is needed, I used to be against female refs but now I'd like to see them given a go. Can't be any worse surely?

Always makes me laugh. People are generally pricks. Using it as a request for sympathy doesn't wash.

Hitler and Harold Shipman were human beings too!

For a long time I've thought he was not only the worst referee currently, but all time in the top flight.

He would make a top five worst of all time, comfortably.

My inclusions for consideration would be Graham Scott, Andre Marriner, Jon Moss and Graham Poll.

Poll has to be on the list for the disallowed Don Hutchinson goal in the 2000 derby.

Yeah, agree, but I always had a problem with Šimunić for getting booked three times.

I don't think it got enough attention, because Poll took all the glory in a Mike Dean style.

But, you're a professional footballer, getting two yellows is bad enough, but three?!?

He appeared on a BBC documentary about shocking World Cup Moments, and seemed to really milk it up when he talked about himself walking out onto the pitch after the game, while looking into the sky knowing his World Cup was over.

Still, Šimunić wasn’t the most disiplined of players, but if the rule was three yellows make a red, he would probably be one of a very small number of players in that club!.

Who was Gerard's mate who sent Hibbert off? Was that the same game Kuyt should have been sent off and Carragher gave two pens away for holding Lescott, or rather didn't
