Just when I didn't think we could top the Pires 'penalty', comes the latest entry, Southampton being awarded a spot-kick for one of their players tripping over his own feet against Wolves. Dave Jones comments on the sky sports website would have to be an early contender for quote of the year:

"...I better be careful what I say, but I thought Uriah Rennie was absolutely useless".

Some of the yellow cards handed out be refs were disgraceful

If they applied the same rules at the level I play, nobody would be left on the pitch.

Worst referee has got to be Rob Styles. The guy is a total muppet who throws out cards like confetti - e.g. Everton v Newcastle last weekend. The guy hates Birmingham too, sent off one of our players in a practice match in Malaysia when there was nothing in it. Pathetic.

As i think i have said in another thread Rob Styles has dished out 5 reds and 21 yellow cards in just 3 games.

Rennie was the only ref to have said Alan Shearer off with that awful decision against Villa and that was the season he got demoted but dont say too much against this fella as he is a black belt in karate.
