Hull city v Chelsea-Craig Pawson
DIR By: Bielsa’s Bucket

A rather easy game for Pawson 3 cautions 2 for SPA and 1 for
dissent. Although don’t know if anyone else thinks that his
running style seems very lethargic and laboured most of the time
he almost looks uninterested. Very different to the style of
Oliver and Taylor.

But very much in keeping with Hooper who seems to amble around
the field and had difficulty keeping up with play

I would add to this Rob Jones (although his length of stride is
longer). At times in Newc-Oxf game he was a fair distance away
and working hard. Looks ungainly as opposed to being unfit

I think ungainly rather than unfit is exactly right. There are
several refs around who appear ungainly in their running styles,
and Huxtable, Martin and Adock immediately come to mind. There
are others who seem to stroll around, take for example Marriner
and Kavenagh. However all of these and others are up with play
when it really matters, and the only ref who does not come into
this category is (imo) Hooper, so I also agree with Hendo in
this regard. At the other extreme Mason, Attwell and Woolmer
always seem to cover a lot of ground during a game although I
don't personally think this makes them better referees.

Someone who had a very laid back running style was the late Jack
Taylor OBE. Strolled about most of the time and yet his decision
making was excellent and he was always where he needed to be.
Joe Worrall on the other hand would buzz about the pitch as if
he had an internal dynamo. Another excellent referee. You move
about the pitch in the way which best serves your officiating as
todays practitioners do. Would Taylor and Worrall have coped
with officiating in the modern game? Do you know, I rather
believe they would.

I certainly agree about Jack and Joe, two of my favourites from
yesteryear and both with completely different running styles.
Another unusual gait was that of Roger Dilkes and he would
almost certainly join the aforementioned in the top ten referees
of my era.

I shall, though, just a little more. When it comes to
idiosyncratic running styles, few could match Denis Hedges
(Oxford ). When he got up speed he would whirl his elbows around
rather as if he were imitating a windmill. Tony Morrissey also
had a very particular style of running .
As to Maurice Fussey. He was once described ( not by me sadly as
it's great line ) as "the embodiment of authority in a tizzy"

Bas Nijhuis in full flow reminds me of Basil Fawlty....
