Is Grant Hegley. He presided over our 2-1 defeat by Preston last season, but the Hiss of the Match went to the East Stand lino for his lack of understanding of the offside rule.
Hegley has the rare distinction of being a referee actually suspended for incompetence. Many of them are incompetent but do not pay the price. He caused controversy in 2005 after being charged with less than proficiently applying the Laws of the Game after failing to send off Sheffield United's Keith Gillespie after the final whistle of the match against Reading on 1 October. He was suspended for 14 days.

I thought he was awful today. They all make mistakes so the fact that he missed at least one certain penalty is simply par for the course. More importantly, he seemed to be completely clueless about how to distinguish between "innocent, handbags at three paces" stuff and more serious, cynical foul play. Where do they get these guys from? I guess the real problem is that normal, sensible people wouldn't touch the job with a barge pole.
