BCFC101 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Interesting to see him ref a game between of the 2 bottom 3 teams in the Championship one week to being the ref in the match including the champions of England the next week. I think more Premier League refs should be given some Championship games, perhaps those refs that don't get a game in the Premier League. Some Premier League experience could help in certain situations at this level. Oh and by the way I'm not saying the refs in the Championship at the moment are bad, just some Premier League refs would be good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderArmyy Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Speaking of refs.. who was the ref today? Wasn't he an experienced prem referee? He was dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC101 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Andy D'Urso - mainly a Championship/League 1 ref, with a few League 2 games as well but no Premier League games since something like 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderArmyy Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 He must of done something controversial then.. because I recognise his name.. OH I KNOW HIM! Remember that game we beat Norwich few years back? think we had a penalty and norwich had a stonewall penalty turned down?? All evens itself out right..

CamBCFC Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 We've not won a game in seven with Durso reffing. Think was in charge of 6-0 v Diff and 7-0 v Swansea too (was it 7-0? Cant remember) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedYoshi Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Howard Webb was in charge of Hull - Huddersfield today. Don't know if that signals a trend, would need to look into it more, but it may be that there is one per week? Perhaps we just don't notice it 'cos it's not often for our games (which, if it's just one ref per week, would be understandable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Mason reffed the game after on FLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedYoshi Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Lee Mason reffed the game after on FLS Can't see him listed on any of the games today...? But, in response to OP, it seems that every Premier League referee, except Chris Foy and Mark Clattenburg, has taken charge of at least 1 game in the Championship this season. Most have done 2, with Webb being the only one to take just the 1 (today). Jonathan Moss and Neil Swarbrick (4 each), Mark Halsey (5) and Roger East (9) have done the most. East has actually taken charge of more Championship games than Premier League (4) this season. Suffice to say, it seems that there are Premier League refs in the Championship relatively often - 43 games so far overall, about 2 per round of games. Oh, and City have had 3 of them, all games resulting in wins: 4-2 v Cardiff (Mike Jones), 3-1 v Middlesbrough (Neil Swarbrick) and 3-2 v Wednesday (Marriner).

luke_bristol Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Yep, ref very poor yesterday. City worse though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've won all 3 of them? Well there is our answer to us being so poor! Championship refs! I always thought the Football League doesn't like us...
