The word I'm thinking of starts with a C and ends with an S.Cheats
Wiltshire ExileIt was intended as a tongue in cheek throwaway comment, but your definition of a cheat has made me wonder if my post is a bit more relevant than intended. "A person who acts dishonestly in order to gain an advantage", could fit the description of a few officials I've seen in my time watching football.Mick Russell acted dishonestly in order to gain an advantage for Portsmouth is the standout example. If Russell was just plain bad in that game he would have been plain bad for both teams, not just one. That sort of inconsistency is, in my opinion, blatant cheating.Saturday's ref maybe wasn't as blatant with his favouring of Luton, but he did favour Luton, thus giving them an advantage, in my opinion.
So Wiltshire, are you inclined to believe that the referee got things right most of the time then?
Mick Russell is the one and only time I genuinely believe the referee to have been an outright cheat. Usually it's just because they're f**king clueless.

But judging from what I have read and heard, it would appear that he did get most of the important decisions wrong. But then again, as always, it's a matter of opinion, isn't it? For instance some supporters say that so-and-so had a bad game, whilst other say that he had a blinder! Opinions, opinions!
