Is Friend the worse referee? Surely Dean is the poorest ref on the panel

He played the ball when putting it in the net, though.
I’ll raise your Mike Dean and give you Chris Kavanagh. A truly awful referee who has considerable history of going to the pitch side monitor to review his decisions, only to then make a bigger Horlicks of it than he did in real time.
Should not be allowed anywhere near a football pitch.

Micheal Oliver is the best of a bad bunch just about
Good job my lad isn’t on this forum, Phil. That comment would have seen you straight on his “ignore” list!

To be fair Oliver is the outstanding one, not perfect but my heart doesnt sink when I see him as the ref.
Friend and Tierney are the worst.

Yes the very worst. At least Dean makes decisions and sticks to them. Friend ignores loads of things and then stands like a plank when later in the game he realises he's lost control. We were on his back a lot earlier than the pen, he was useless all day, absolutely useless. Incompetent beyond words.

I'm going for Keith Hackett or Eric Jennings.
Clive Thomas?

If the defenders push up to play him offside he is impacting on their play.
But your right the way the rules are now he’s not offside.
Just another rule they have “ updated “ and made an absolute mess of.
The only reason I can see for the pen was they thought Jotta would get the ball.
Shocking standard of refs in the PL but not much has been done about it.
Some great football from both sides.

To be fair refs in them days didn’t have all these toys to play with.
I just consider it Karma for Pep.
His Barca team whilst brilliant were one of the worst for histrionics and even now for tactical fouls.
So about time what he got away with in the past got balanced....

I'll also throw in Mike Riley as worst ever ref you could get in a Man U game #guaranteedpen
