| My point is that we should be able to express our personal | |
| opinion regarding individual performances and appointments. The | |
| vast majority of my own posts support and praise match officials | |
| in particular Josh Smith and David Webb for their performances | |
| this season and a number of previous seasons, I have praised | |
| those progressing in the Premier League in particular | |
| Jones,Brooks and Gillett and I have constantly praised the | |
| impressive potential of Hallam, Smith and Kirk coming through. | |
| Yet the minute anything untowards is written about Gill or | |
| Allison the post is removed. This is not personal it is opinion | |
| and one shared by many others. They have both committed error | |
| after error and have not justified their appointments at the top | |
| level when given them. The site is called �RateTheRef� for a | |
| reason. | |

| Although I don't know what happened to your post or what was | |
| said. Maybe, just maybe you're stepping out of line. I would | |
| encourage you to take a step back before you post and asked | |
| yourself, is this necessary. In the last 2 months alone, | |
| majority of the Referees in the PL, Championship and FL have | |
| received a negative review or two but what you seems to do, is | |
| focus on two individuals. It seems you have a personal agenda | |
| rather than "RatetheRef" as you stated. What made me come to | |
| this conclusion is the fact that one of these two Referees have | |
| not officiate for two months. | |
| Just relax... | |

| A complementary reference has been made to Bell on this thread, | |
| but which one? I watched Elliot Bell last night in a fiesty | |
| game, Salford v Doncaster, and couldn't be sure about him. Looks | |
| the part but 2 goals were disallowed, a red card issued (2 | |
| yellows correctly given), and a few (5) other yellows which were | |
| "questionable" according to some. I think these observers | |
| struggle to understand how several physical challenges aren't | |
| yellow, yet a simple pull back is. Of course, the former is | |
| descretionay, the latter mandatory. Bell tried to let the game | |
| flow but there was one tackle which was definitely orange but to | |
| his credit he gave himself time to reflect on it. | |
| It was a tough gig and the Doncaster manager got quite worked up | |
| earning a yellow. My question is, as there are 2 Bells, is in | |
| folk's opinion James Bell the better referee or is it Elliot? | |

| That was in regards to waiting for an SG2 promotion, James is | |
| already there but I should have been clear I was referring to | |
| Elliot. | |
| I�ve not seen Elliot myself but he�s got some good games and | |
| seems to be making rapid progression along with Farai Hallam and | |
| Ruebyn Ricardo out of the 1st year National List referees. | |
| I only caught yesterday�s highlights and would agree the 2 | |
| disallowed goals are questionable at least. The Doncaster one I | |
| don�t think is a foul and as for the Salford one, I can�t see | |
| any foul but it�s not a great broadcast angle. Salford players | |
| also don�t seem to appeal too much against the decision. | |

| aaa�.I am totally relaxed thank-you as I respect all views on | |
| this site even if I don�t agree with them. As for having an | |
| agenda against Sunny Gill you could not be further from the | |
| truth �.I just do not think he deserved his appointment when he | |
| received it�simple. I don�t rate Neild or Doughty but do not | |
| have a agenda against them it�s just my opinion. David Webb is | |
| undoubtedly the top referee inSG2 this season so why does he get | |
| the Big Crunch games but not a premier league fixture? Why does | |
| kitchen not get the top 3 when they play each other but does get | |
| a premier league appointment? No agenda against kitchen but he | |
| is clearly not the top ranked official�.again no agenda�just a | |
| valid opinion. | |

| But to be fair, he has had Blackburn v Burnley, Preston v | |
| Burnley and Sheffield Wednesday v Sheffield United, which are | |
| arguably similarly testing fixtures to those between the top | |
| three. | |
| I would hazard a guess that no referee has had Blackburn v | |
| Burnley and Sheffield Wednesday v Sheffield United in the same | |
| season before. | |
