Rob Styles

Anybody see this joker acting the prick in the Chelsea v Everton match yesterday? Laughing and joking 'with the lads' when Robben came onto the pitch without permission. Should have been booking him instead and subsequently sending him off for a second yellow for simulation in the box. I don't believe had it been a Chelsea player that made the tackle Carsley did that that player would've been sent off. What a dick.

Cracking quote from Ray Houghton when he sent off Distin the other week, 'this guy wakes up in the morning, looks in the mirror and wonders what the other seven wonders of the world are doing'.

He's typical of most of the Premiership referrees imo. It's nigh on impossible to get a decision against the top 4. When he (disgracefully) sent Distin off the other week I wonder would he have done similar had Terry, Neville, Henry or Gerrard approached him. Now I've nothing against these players (well not for the purpose of this example anyway) but I honestly don't think he would have. A: Because he was so blatantly wrong to send Distin off in the first place. B: Because he wouldn't want to face the media flak for sending off a superstar like the 4 mentioned. C: Because he's one of those idiots who wants to make a point of being the main man and he feels he can do that against the likes of a Manchester City or a similar mediocre team. All the refs act like best mates with those players and watching him on MoTD last night appalled me yet again.
