       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

       Manchester City CREDIT: Getty Images
       
       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.

       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.
