I'll be first. From next season, can we introduce a minus figure because this was yet another muppet who didn't warrant 0.

Much as it pains me to say "I told you so" this is what I posted 3 days ago. I was not surprised IN THE SLIGHTEST at how bad this bloke is

Agreed, I haven't got enough words to adequately describe how bad this pillock was.

I was thinking that during the second half.

Another one like Woolmer with whom we have history. I don't think it's bias, just sheer incompetence. People say refereeing is a difficult job, and having done it at a lowly level, I wouldn't disagree. But so is being a surgeon, and if you do your job poorly you will be removed. Isn't it time to start doing that with referees?

I could name you half a dozen referees that if they were removed from the list, the standard would improve automatically. Trouble is, we keep getting them.

I gave him a 1 purely because he wasn't quite as shite as Woolmer.  Woolmer has defined zero now.

In some ways he was worse in that he totally ignored Accrington's time-wasting tactics, which started even before they had scored.

No, I just think the standard of officiating is piss-poor. It's not much better in the Championship, where you can count the number of decent referees on one hand.

There's about a dozen who really pull the standards down and Woolmer and Stockbridge are two of them. My only crumb of comfort is that some of the younger referees seem slightly better.

That “ten yards and spray the line” thing that Stockbridge did was probably the most ridiculous and embarrassing thing a ref has ever done.

I posted the clip on a refereeing forum and it was universally condemned. I suspect he'll get a rocket from the assessor for that.

But still get a 7/10 and keep on getting games.
