Why does a few think it’s ok to abuse the ref for being over weight? If he’s rubbish then fair enough criticise his performance.
Well the EFL obviously rate his performances enough to allow him to continue refereeing but what example does his physical condition set to youngsters as a professional referee?
 
I think he's been doing OK apart from every time he gets on the ball he's chopped down and Huxtable waves play on.
Well no point in saying he’s done well if every time he gets the ball he’s hacked down. Now only if a player accidentally goes in on Huxtable
 
Take the point now but, considering after 20 minutes would of probably taken losing 1-0 as we looked like we might get battered, we have improved as the half has gone on and look a threat from set pieces so maybe an outside chance of nicking it.
 
Ruffs playing well , before he scored I thought he looked much more solid and at the races today. Centre backs and Longy a tad dodgy though ...but great to get ourselves back into this ...let's go and take this now ...

Do youngsters look to league one football refs as the ideal body shape? Can’t imagine anyone going I want to look like Trevor Kettle rather than Anthony Joshua.

I have made some jokes about his weight. I am probably the same weight as Huxtable, if a bit shorter. My real name is also Brett. My jokes have been about his weight as I think the shape he is in means he can't possibly manage a professional game of football. I used to struggle to keep up when I ran an under 10s side.

As well as his weight problems which stop him from keeping up with the game, he is also a s**t referee who doesn't know what the f**k he's doing - IMO.

To be fair I don’t care a single jot about his weight or anything else about his appearance. I care that he doesn’t give a foul when Marcus McGuane is smashed from behind with a slide tackle on the edge of their area. Or any of the other many, many fouls on him.
 
Isn’t fitness a part of his role? He needs to keep up with play so it can affect his capability to make good decisions
Oh I see. So when a poster finds him humorously fat then he is actually referring to the ref not keeping up with the play.
