I feel compelled to comment on how much of a disgrace this idiot is. The worst ref display i have seen for years without exaggeration, if i wasnt in the upper tier i swear i would have ran on the pitch and upper cutted his jaw off i was that insensed! Heskey even went ballistic and showed emotion! <br />Too many incidents to mention just gob smacked.<br />I just hope this fool gets kicked out of football and soon.matt26may1982https://www.blogger.com/profile/14300806322664158052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33696095.post-9829304435705689982008-01-17T18:45:00.000+00:002008-01-17T18:45:00.000+00:00Mr Probert is about to get sacked as a referee.

How can you allow a play on for an advantage, then give an offside against the team you gave the advantage to ? There was no advantage to play.<BR/><BR/>Earlier this year Mr Probert made a terrible blunder against Fulham, disallowing a goal which was clearly a fair goal and costing Fulham the win. If this costs Lawrie Sanchez his job, do you think Mr Probert will care ?Nich Starlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237390959601973501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33696095.post-31516022624743098252007-12-17T12:04:00.000+00:002007-12-17T12:04:00.000+00:00If you would excuse me, I am a young referee from ...If you would excuse me, I am a young referee from Southampton who was lucky enough to be Mr. Probert's assistant in a Southampton Academ Under 16 tournament at Staplewood. Lee is a fantastic referee, and if he wasn't then he would NOT have been promoted to the premiership list. He is one of the best officials in the country, without doubt. So before you go insulting this man think about actually refereeing and application of the laws of the game, no-one cares about conspiracy theories about how you have lost 3 games that he has been in charge of. Look at his refereeing skills. You can insult him when you are at the same level as him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33696095.post-85513721780961217662007-03-21T13:55:00.000+00:002007-03-21T13:55:00.000+00:00Spot on. You might also be interested in two othe...Spot on. <BR/><BR/>You might also be interested in two other matches that Mr Probert has refereed since November 2006, both involving Derby County away, at Coventry and Preston. Similar to the Norwich result, Derby won both games 2-1 following controversial decisons that either denied the home team a draw or gifted Derby the win. <BR/><BR/>Also, managers from Chester, Wigan and Ipswich have been incandescent with rage over his decisions this season. <BR/><BR/>Now, this may all be coincidental, but two questions emerge. <BR/><BR/>1. How come he refereed three Derby away games within the space of four months, when you might just see the same referee twice in any one season.<BR/><BR/>2. How come all three home managers were incensed by his decisions that turned each game, yet no action was taken by the Football League?<BR/><BR/>An investigation must surely be made into his actions.<BR/><BR/>I have nothing against Derby County but they do seem to have been very fortunate to have amassed 9 points rather than 3 at the hands of Mr Probert!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33696095.post-29411816791212133692007-03-07T19:10:00.000+00:002007-03-07T19:10:00.000+00:00Now ammended.
