       Stuart Attwell.  Leeds v Norwich

       SG1 in charge. His foul detection is woefull and that is being
       kind. Leeds number 3 commits 3 poor fouls in a few minutes and
       not even word. If this kicked off it would clearly be his fault.
       Once again out of his depth. Really does not deserve that fifa
       badge.

       I thought he handled the game fairly good very calm and in
       charge

       It’s all about opinions. I just felt as he was before. Out of
       his depth. The only reason he didn’t lose control was
       surprisingly the players. No sorry. He was very very poor

       Maybe you have. But we’re they supposed to be SG1 and wearing a
       FIFA badge

       The continuing problem is that many, myself included, will
       always see Mr Attwell as a mediocre Ref who has been very
       fortunate to get where he has, FIFA included. His favourable
       treatment, possibly as a result of friends in high places, has
       not been afforded to other refs and there are still refs out
       there who many of us see as being better than him and worthy of
       promotion or at least a trial but for whom the chance never
       comes.
       These perceptions, rightly or wrongly, are hard to throw off.
       He has established himself on both the PL and FIFA but is little
       more than an average Ref. His appointments would seem to justify
       this too.

       I believe in second chances especially when those who should
       have had your proper interests at heart didn't look after you
       well enough first time round. Yes, accelerated promotion before
       one is ready for it is a disservice. No-one is going to refuse
       it because that refusal would imperil your chances but Attwell
       shouldn't have ben put in that position. Now I believe he is a
       worthy enough member of SG1, better than Mason and East, about
       the same as Friend and Scott but surely will be eclipsed very
       soon ( if not already ) by Kavanagh and quite possibly by
       Tierney.
       FIFA badges, unless in the Elite Group, now mean very little,
       it's just about whether you are in the right age group.

       Perhaps Lord Elleray should take note...

       Indeed.I expect much more from a SG1 ref, and my comment was
       based on all levels that I've seen referee games this season. As
       a season ticket holder of 30 years and a staunch supporter of
       referees in general, its getting very hard to defend the man in
       the middle far too often nowadays. I have no interest in
       anyone's history, only how they perform on the day and standards
       on the whole are the worst I've seen.
