Who has been the most incompetent referee this season 21/22?

[KaiserEFC]

Think it was Kavanagh

He then sent off Ancelotti for pretty much nothing

Yeah that’s the one, showed absolutely no respect. And then after it all him and his colleagues went and hunkered down by the impenetrable centre circle because they were presumably scared of the fans

 

[Lobster Johnson]

Jon Moss, although I could have picked any one of them, purely on the basis that somebody who can barely run shouldn't derive that much joy from acting like a PE teacher to elite athletes.

I mean, having watched the Forest Sheff Utd game and seeing Oliver have a nightmare, it’s clear he’s just a terrible ref.

Kavanagh has done us a fair few times too, and is second.

Somehow Mason, Moss and Atkinson don’t top the list, which is a true testament to how bad the league standard referees are.

Moss was apparently a failed player who turned to being a ref

Clive Thomas. Whoever said that time is a great healer was telling fibs.

Never, never to be forgotten. Fellas should sit their grandchildren on their knees and tell them that Thomas singlehandedly by his pompous and fraudulent actions, was instrumental in propelling the RS into the ascendancy of their glory years.

Probably the worst season I've ever watched for referee incompetence. It used to be one or two every now and again but now, every week, we see unfathomable decisions. Overall, which one of this bunch is the most cluesless corrupt?

Atwell, Oliver

Moss was apparently a failed player who turned to being a ref

and then failed at that. The fat scruff.

Having seen that snippet of the Australian ref whereby you hear the radio communications between him and the VAR panel, it's only a matter of time before these frauds are shown how clueless they are.

That was Jared Gillet who now ironically is a PL referee

 

[bcblue1878]

Mike Riley - the previously incompetent and awful referee who is now in charge of Video Assistant Referees!

Sums it all up really!

 

[Bedfordblue]

Needs multi vote

Why isn't VAR on the list? VAR has been awful this season, not just for Everton, it's been awful across the board.

I was a big advocate for VAR coming in and improving the game but it looks like it's starting to make the ref on the pitch complacent because they know VAR can correct their mistakes but that's not always happening.

 

[Parker]

They're all as bad as each other.

Inept, attention seeking little nobodies who derive self worth from doing their job poorly.

That being said, I can't wait to not see Jon Moss waddling around in what appears to be a large boys size referee kit. Looks like the plum could burst any minute.

Because VAR is a tool.

The refs are also tools in a different way but they use VAR to make decisions.

At the end of the day it would be like blaming the gun for shooting someone.

The worst one is the person in charge of them all.. Mike Riley..I’m sure if he was sacked things would improve!

VAR is a person using a tool. VAR is a referee sat remotely in a room with the help of video replays.

Everyone can understand the human error involved in having a referee on a pitch that can't possibly see everything during a game being played at full speed but it's a lot harder to understand mistakes being made when a referee has 2 or 3 minutes of slowed down replays to watch.

The VAR tool is absolutely fine, it's the human interpretation of the information that tool is giving them that is in question.
