As we are getting to the end of the season

[Railway Blue]

Lets name names in the form of nominations for the "Worse Ref of the Season "Award

And my nomination goes to John Busby
Fortunately we have only encountered this inapt official once but his performance in our home game against Forest Green Rovers will live in my memory for the whole of the off season. In all the years of watching football I have never seen a referee who bottled decisions as much as this guy. Had this man had the slightest idea FGR could have been down to 7 men after 70 minutes. Some of the decisions he did make, such as giving Tranmere a free kick for an obvious elbow to the face on Jake Kirkby by a player who had already been booked and failing to give him a red card, were laughable quite frankly.

Special mention also goes to Ryan Johnson for his MOTM performance for Eastleigh at Prenton Park and his inability to see one of the greatest one handed saves of the season by a Chester defender in the Derby at the Deva and Adrian Holmes for being the most consistently awful referee I have seen in his various Tranmere games

Over to you guys.......

Don't remember that, though I don't remember a lot these days.

Brett Huxtable ...... for failing to award the most nailed on penalty ever just before half time at Rec at 0-0 this season. The players were in so much shock they failed to come out for 2nd half. We got our revenge in the reverse fixture however. We've scored around 15% of our total league goals against Aldershot this season.

Just thought I'd bump this as Brett Huxtable, who was the comfortable winner in the worst ref category has been promoted to the FL Referees list.

Messrs Busby and Yates, who get mentions here are also going to be in the middle at FL games next season.

You mean to tell me that we get relegated the year the Conference finally gets rid of Huxtable? Ugh.

Huxtable always makes an exhibition of himself at Plainmoor. As he's from Devon I've always thought we should try to get him removed from our games, but instead we seem to get him more often, especially when there is late notice or to cover an unavailable ref. We sometimes get him even when not appointed to us.

Not sure how he's made the FL list, but hopefully it means we see less of him.
