onionman, it was apparently in the family, if my memory serves me correctly, but that doesn't make it any easier, unless it was his prime motive to overtake their successes. If not, then the opposite applies but he is a confident man and has so many more years left, being only 29 and ref's no longer having to retire in their late forties. It never ceases to surprise me how some on here remember every refereeing detail in any match they attend or view! I do wonder if some of you have a note book by your side, when watching. I think Joe was right when he said familiarity breeds contempt. Also, some of those incidents in the first couple of years in the Prem, when it felt like the whole world was against us, gave us a very painful and long-lasting first impression of certain refs. But over the past two or three seasons, I don't think any ref has shafted us in a particularly memorable way (other than Martin Atkinson).

The twat shoul be made to watch the whole 90 minutes in front of his peers. If he or any other ref come up with the booking count of 3-0 again then this refereeing lark isn't for them.

I have no complaint about the 3 bookings he gave us, all were deserved.
I do have complaint about the bookings he DIDN'T give them!

I think we should have had a peno for the foul on Crouch, right through the back.
Bojan dived for his.

I wouldn't bother starting with Crouch then. That Cardiff match last season, it looked like a Mackay game-plan for the Cardiff defence to tangle up with Crouch off the ball whenever a cross was about to come in and Oliver lapped it up hook, line, and sinker. Crouch was penalised for being wrestled to the ground pretty much every time Stoke built up a bit of momentum, it completely ruined our game. A pretty obvious tactic too, one player going for the ball and one player watching the man. It reminded me of those games that Crouch used to be a part of in Europe, coming up against a 5ft 8 defender and looking like he was climbing on the bloke's shoulders to the ref because the defender couldn't get anywhere near it. Every attack broken down for a free-kick against him for being a gangly bastard. To top it off, Oliver even booked Crouch for a supposed Adam foul on Fraizer Campbell. Don't know what he had against Crouch, but it isn't worth risking all of our attacks breaking down there again. You are spot on about Oliver and Crouch mate because today he gave Crouch nothing when he was being fouled constantly.He must have been rejected by Miss Clancy on a night out by the looks of it. To not book an away player in todays game was/is just plain bias the way the game panned out,no wonder their fans praised his performance[including Matt Elliot their summariser] for his GREAT performance on BBC Radio Leicester.He might as well have travelled home with them also the cheating twat.

Thought he was generally very, very poor.
He'd set his stall out that they could push, trip and grab and not even have a word said to them.
This is the most annoying thing, I can't or won't complain about Leicester's tactics as I'd be a hypocrite after watching us do it for years under Tone. What I can moan about is the fact when we used to do it we got pulled up for so much as breathing on the opposition whereas Mr Oliver continually allowed the Foxes to stop us from playing our (clearly superior) football by persisting fouling us.
Crouch's booking was totally the ref's doing as (albeit it was stupid) the big man was so frustrated about the lack of protection he received.
Our next two fouls were bookings too and he could hardly wait to get his card out.
Ironically the only time he didn't choke on his whistle was for their break away goal.
Fucking typical as he'd stopped the flow of the game for the rest of the 90 minutes.

He did what he always does down here, adopted his 'don't think your loud crowd is going to faze me' stance and so set his stall out to give us as little as possible. He did seem to let up on that as the game went on.

I'm glad it was a shit ref. It means we can return to the strange idea there is a conspiracy to do us over instead of facing up to our teams faults.
