Robert N. LiM 4,464 Posted November 14, 2023 The ref who gave Ipswich a last minute penalty (to equalise) against us and then dramatically and comically changed his mind. Gunny took the resultant free kick from the penalty spot, which was top bants. And the ref who set up Phil Mulryne's goal at Reading with his back in the Worthy title season. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also Reading, who was that ref who sent Grant Holt off there for it to be overturned a few days later? Michael someone? He hasn’t turned out to have a bad career 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yobocop 1,105 Posted November 15, 2023 Neil swarbrick was always a bit of a moron wasn’t he? what about the time one of the fans had to be 4th official due to two referees being injured in the same match? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hissing Sid 154 Posted November 16, 2023 Who could forget the comedy refereeing of Eddie Ilderton at Tranmere in 2010? Penalties, missed handbills, imaginary handballs and a red card for Fraser Forster. Going further back, this one still boggles the mind 25 years on...

I've always really hated Everton without quite knowing why. But I do remember that incident now you mention it. Perhaps that's why! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hairy Canary 705 Posted November 16, 2023 Who was the guy who sent Lambert off for coming on the pitch a couple of yards to retrieve the ball after it had gone out of play? Whole catalogue of terrible decisions but just can't remember which game it was Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
