I've just found out that it will be the Premier League's 'Mike Riley' who has been given the whistle for our game on saturday.  |

Widely accepted as the worst official in the game. Yes, even worse than Styles.

Mike Riley's not too bad, could have been Alan Wiley or even worse - Steve Bennett - or MonotheisticDeityOfChoice forbid - Uriah Rennie...

Sheikh, you think Riley is even worse than Styles, D'Urso, Marriner, Hall?
Whilst not the best, as he can get a bit petty, we could have had worse I reckon.

The ref is the ref- we can't alter the choice. All we can alter is how we perform. If we play to the best of our ability, we will win  |

That's my worry - both teams have quite 'Physical' players so if he starts reffing like it's a Prem' game then he could be on the whistle every two mins, thus eliminating any chance of free-flowing football and eventually making it turn it quite nasty.  |

I'd be more worried about having Riley if we were playing against the shit. He gives them everything at OT.
Personally I prefer him to Styles or D'Arso, but why do the football league insist on using Premiership refs in live televised games, as they're all bloody drama queens who want to be the centre of attention.
Ahh, have I just answered my own question there......?

Perhaps he's not as consistently bad as those you mention, jezza but when he’s bad he is indescribably awful, completely destroys games.

I remember an elderly gentleman, sitting next to me during that Cardiff 3-0 and he said to me on more than one occasion 'funny ref this one.'
