Here you go BMB 😁
This Premier League weekend produced more contentious decisions
with Tottenham aggrieved a Harry Kane goal was disallowed at
Chelsea and Diogo Jota winning a soft penalty for Liverpool at
Selhurst Park.
The quality of the officials as well as the implementation of
the Video Assistant Referee system have come under question,
with Telegraph Sport's refereeing expert Keith Hackett outlining
his plans for reform here.
Now he reviews the performances of the elite panel of officials
this season.
NB. John Brooks, Michael Salisbury and Tony Herrington have
officiated too few matches to arrive at a judgement.
19) Simon Hooper
Sadly I believe that he is not up to the standard required of a
Premier League Referee. His mobility is below the standard
expected of an elite referee and it means he becomes detached
from play and then makes errors. I would remove him from the
list.
Rating: 4/10
18) Chris Kavanagh
Kavanagh offered such good potential when he joined the list.
However, I have been disappointed with several of his
performances. I do not much in the way of dynamic sprinting and
he gets caught out of position, leading to too many mistakes. He
has the potential but needs to improve or be removed from the
list.
Rating: 4/10
17) Graham Scot
He communicates well, but at times his decision making at the
elite level lacks the appropriate accuracy. This should be his
last season at this level - he just has not reached the required
standards of an elite referee.
Rating: 4/10
16) Peter Bankes
He has not demonstrated the positive form and confidence that we
witness when he officiates a Championship game. He adopts a
low-key approach but frankly needs to improve.
Rating: 4.5/10
15) Robert Jones
With seven appointments to date Jones is establishing his
position on the panel. He has had a positive start and, like
Gillett, should be appointed to more games.
Rating: 4.5/10
14) Jarred Gillett
This top performing Australian referee joined the list and
should be appointed to more games. Four appointments to date is
insufficient to build a positive reputation, and now needs a run
of matches.
Rating: 5/10
13) Kevin Friend
A long serving referee on the list but is inconsistent with his
decision making. Flashes too many yellow cards rather than
adopting a more effective management style.
Rating: 5/10

12) David Coote
He demonstrates good potential, but needs to improve his
consistency and accuracy of his decision making. To date he has
11 appointments, issuing two red cards and 53 yellows.
Rating: 5/10
11) Jonathan Moss
Experienced referee who, frankly, too often gets detached from
play and then makes errors. The PGMOL regard him higher than I
do by way of performances. To date he has received 15
appointments issuing 4 red and 29 yellow cards.
Rating: 5/10
10) Martin Atkinson
A loyal servant to the PGMOL but this year has not demonstrated
his usual safe pair of hands. He appears to have lost some of
his sprinting speed and becomes detached from play, leaving his
decisionmaking accuracy below his usual high standard.
Rating 5/10
9) Craig Pawson
I always expect more out of this referee and would suggest that
he needs to improve his movement around the field of play. The
process of a referee is to see, recognise, think and act - which
is what he needs to work on. He lets himself down through his
positioning, although I have seen little signs of improvement.
Rating: 5/10
8) Mike Dean
He has served the competition well but would suggest that there
is a dip in his form and I would recommend that he retire at the
end of the season when he will turn 54. Dean has not issued a
red card and his 40 yellow cards is a low average for him.
Rating 5.5/10
7) Stuart Attwell
He is one of the fittest and mobile referees on the panel. He is
gaining in confidence but still prone to making errors. In the
season to date he has received 11 appointments, issuing one red
and 37 yellow cards.
Rating: 5.5/10

6) Andy Madley
This referee has established himself quickly and referees with
confidence and maturity. His no-nonsense approach has gained him
respect and I expect him to continue to improve. Would like to
see him work on his sprinting speed. He has been given eight
appointments and should be given a run of regular games to
establish his position on the list.
Rating: 6/10
5) Andre Marriner
Marriner has gained a reputation of being a safe pair of hands,
but sadly age is catching up with him and he struggles to apply
a dynamic sprint. This is when errors can occur. The players
trust and respect him and his low-key approach is appreciated by
stakeholders in the game. He could be one of those considering
retirement at the end of the season.
Rating: 6.5/10
4) Paul Tierney
Tierney is an experienced referee but not showing the form that
he has demonstrated in previous seasons. He has lost some of his
top sprinting speed and this is leaving him detached from play
and vulnerable to error.
He is usually a first-class decision maker but I feel that with
recent performances he is showing some hesitancy on the big
decisions. This could be a slight drop in confidence.
Rating: 7/10
3) Darren England
I have been impressed with this referee since his introduction
into the Select Group 1 referees. His physical work-rate is
first class and with every game he is gaining in confidence and
making good decisions. He is under-utilised by the PGMOL having
only received 9 Premier League appointments.
Rating: 7/10
2) Anthony Taylor
Second English referee nominated for Qatar this year and has
also officiated 15 Premier League games. He is very fit and
mobile but there are times when I would like him to relax a
little and manage players more effectively. This would help to
reduce his average yellow cards per game as he has made 61
bookings. Smile Anthony, you are a good referee.
Rating 7.5/10
1) Michael Oliver
Nominated by FIFA for the 2022 World Cup, he has shown a high
level of decision-making accuracy this season. The foundation of
his success and the reason why at Week 20 of the Premier League
season he has received 15 referee appointments in total.
He has matured and players and managers trust and respect his
approach when he is in the middle. The foundation of his success
is his fitness level and the consistency of getting decisions
correct.
Rating: 8/10

Thanks - I think! [emoji6]
Aside of the top 3 I have to say I disagree with his opinion on
the rest of them!

The man has a clear agenda against Riley, I have said it for
years. I’ve stopped reading his drivel on social media now as
some of his old clan are so far up his backside it’s sickening.
I agree with some of the points but find it hard to accept it
from someone who wasn’t exactly quick himself and forgets some
of his group weren’t exactly brilliant.

Basically none of them are any good apart from maybe three of
them and about half need to either retire or be demoted.

I don’t understand why he keeps bringing up sprinting speeds,
surely he must realise part of a refs fitness test, is testing
there sprinting speeds? If they were too slow they’d fail the
test, and wouldn’t be refereeing games. Criticising Andre
Marriner over it for example, who Despite rarely sprinting in a
game, Still finds himself in good positions most of the time, is
odd.

Agree with Taylor, Oliver and England but the others are just
absolute tosh. He should be removed from the media!

If he had nothing controversial to contribute the Telegraph
wouldn't pay for his thoughts.
For someone that posters on here rarely agree with he gets far
too many mentions.

Oh the irony of one of English Refereeing's most legendary
trundlers criticising current officials fitness and sprinting
ability.
This could compromise the credibility of his other
pronouncements, those that have any
Words which wouldn't earn me a ban from this site totally escape
me.
