It's a close call for me
Clive Thomas loved the limelight , Graeme Poll was a plonker but for all round general hopelessness it's got to be Uriah Rennie
The way he used to run around like a headless chicken will stay with me forever
A legend in his own lunchtime , he took the idea of a self obsessed celebrity ref to a whole new level
Mind you he wasn't to be messed with , a karate black belt
That one who sent off McCormack and Gyepes at Ninian Park
Yes fair play he was crapQuote:

Shapter, Knight, Singh. Sounds like a reputable solicitor firm, but you wouldn't put these three in charge of anything.Quote:

Clangerburg. A man so far up his own backside he can do his own prostate exams. Case in point: https://www.theguardian.com/football...cester-chelsea
Singh was dreadfulQuote:

Probably the worst performance I‘ve ever seen from a ref.
So bad that at the final whistle some bloke ran onto the pitch to give him a clout - almost got him too before a steward pounced.
We came home, my missus says to my lad “did you enjoy it” to which my son replies “it was great mam, the ref was rubbish, everyone was shouting swear words at him and at the end a man ran on the pitch to beat him up. Can I go next week?”
Was that when we shipped six ?Quote:

Pretty sure we lost 1-0.Quote:

Edit: just checked and it looks like it was 1998.
You are rightQuote:

Urriah Rennie. First football ref to have an agent. Don't believe your hype.
Didn't he have his own website too ?Quote:

Has to be Clattenburg. Way too into himself.
Loves himself but was a very good referee.Quote:

Back in the 60's and 70's there used to be a collective groan from those around us when someone announced that the ref would be David Smith from Stonehouse.
We used to get him a lot for welsh cup games, mainly I think because he lived so close.
Had his fair share of league games at Ninian as well, probably for the same reason.
This useless tw^t:----

Used to hate it every time we had him for a Welsh Cup match.
Tw^t hated us.
Was thinking then how the **** did we concede 6 AND 7 :hehe:Quote:

Also that ref who was in charge when we played Sheff United at Ninian park in our last season there.
Eddie had to play all the kids, as had games cancelled and played in Europe.Quote:

Amazingly, Carl Dale missed a pelanty, just before half time, that would have made it 2-2 at the break.
Great season. For a few weeks there were games on Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. FA Cup run involved replays in rounds 2 and 3 (maybe round 1 too), Welsh Cup (hammering Swansea on the day I failed my driving test). Postponements and Europe - Faraday playing 30 minutes at Brighton whilst barely being able to walk.Quote:

Clattenburg. The only ref I have ever written to the FL to complain about.
