Trent Canary 0 Posted August 3, 2010 Cant recall a Mr Miller. As for Mr D''urso, football fans go completely overboard with criticising referees, at times its embarassing. In D''ursos case? Its fully justified.. Comfortably the worst referee ive seen at Norwich games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Raven 276 Posted August 3, 2010 Nigel Miller - we had him twice last season - the FA Cup defeat at Carlisle and the 3-1 win at Huddersfield.http://birminghammail.midlandsblogs.co.uk/2007/12/time_should_be_called_on_refer.htmlMiller breeds birds, his hobby and passion for 15 years, and keeps up to 100 at any one time.Nigel retired from the police force in 2008 after 30 years'' service. Formerly a Sergeant, Chief Firearms Instructor and Physical Training Instructor with the Durham Constabulary.Progressing through the Vaux Wearside and UniBond leagues, Nigel arrived on the Football League line 11 years ago. He graduated to the middle in 2003 and, in August, one of English refereeing''s elder statesmen will start his second "extension". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

? 20 Posted August 3, 2010 Hah, nice editing! But you made a typo in ''fully''. :-PHe''s an old colleague of a family member, from before his refereeing days. Definitely not a Binner, just an appalling referee! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
