I often say this to fans of top flight sides who bang on about the quality of refereeing - however bad their lot are, ours are two divisions worse.

To add, with the exception of the penalty that wasn't at Goodison, whenever we've had a top flight ref over the past few years I've always been very impressed with the level of officiating which is notably better than what we get week in week out.

He's identified the poor ones accurately.

Prem refs are better overall but whenever one refs a premier side playing a lower league side they always favour the bigboys.
