When did he last ref a Saints game, and what history does he have with us ?

 

I think it goes back to the 2004/5 season when he gave a opposition player two yellow cards at St Marys, but forgot to actualy send him off. If memory serves on every subsequent visit he's been so awful some have gone so far as to question his integrity.

 

How this man is still in employment as a referee is one of the great unanswered questions of English football.

Did an outstanding job in the away play off game at Derby.

 

Also (correctly) called off last year's game at Charlton after being let down by the home team's preparation / groundspeople.

 

I'm sure this isn't what people want to hear but he's probably still one of the better refs at this level - and he'll need to be against DirtyCheatin'Brighton.

Tend to agree, I think he has been ok at this level.

 

From memory it is Arsenal, not us, who have history with him. Seem to recall having a similar thread pre the Brighton home game, and he turned out ok (for us) ;)

I think he reffed the Charlton away game last year? I remember going absolutely mental at him on numerous occasions.

 

May not have been him though which may explain the funny looks I kept getting.

bha are mad about this too. Is he one to brandish cards when necessary? If so we'll be fine given their disciplinary record

 

Yeah very card happy, so much so he'll book someone twice and not send them off. Blackburn at home, 2004. One of the few bloody games we won that season.

Remember that game, Barry Ferguson ,v Blackburn, just before Luggy was sacked. Did not realise D'Urso was the ref though.

He did the Millwall home game , back in August. Cant remember any controversies. Dont think we can blame him for letting the Millwall fans out at the final whistle.

 

I remember thinking he was poor for an ex-premiership ref.
