Just not in our games but I wondered what people thought overall as we take a lot more notice of them now.

You can see why they stick with the Shyster as, for the most part, he is a very good referee. He just makes far too many horrendous, and I mean horrendous decisions. Oliver has been a good ref - just seems to be following Shyster with his antics. I was a big fan of Bobby Madeley (and his brother) along with Jon Moss at Championship level but they are mostly appalling when I see them at this level. Lee Probert and Martin Atkinson seem fairly solid. Andre Marriner did well in the two Palace games.

Probert, Atkinson, Marriner and Oliver are the pick of the bunch by a very long way

They are all human and all make mistakes but I think Michael Oliver makes fewer than most and handles games well.

Bit of a contradiction in term old chap ,Good referee and horrendous mistakes .
To be fair I am having a problem trying to think of one .

That is my view but would be interested in the views as to who is the worst. I think Bobby Maddley and Jon Moss would be close calls.

Michael Oliver I would say is probably the best out of them all

Not really as, for the most part, he manages the game well and looks a very good ref. All refs makes mistakes - his just tend to be awful and seemingly feeding his ego.
