Who's the best referee out there?

We always talk about the best players, but what about the best referees?

Viktor Kassai?
Ravshan Irmatov?
Wolfgang Stark?

Discuss.

Some sites consider Frank de Bleeckere, but I am not sure. Sent Motta off, though, that was the linesman I believe. Also dissalowed Bojan's goal in that game wrongly..its hard to say.

Jorge Larrionda I believe was considered best ref in South America, but he retired very recently.

To me Stark is a good ref and Webb seems okay when not in charge of Man Utd games.

Really its impossible, they have very hard jobs and all of them are going to make mistakes.

Not sure who is the best but Italian refs seem to be the best out of the lot.

neg rep?

Yeah, when Webb isn't having his bald dome rubbed by Fergie, he's usually a pretty solid referee

Dean is okay when he doesn't ref Arsenal.

Colina?

Also neg rep'd?

Okay someone is just trolling now.

Admins have deceived us with the repping system again.

Retired.

Problem with refs is that they only get judged on the amount of mistakes they do, and since they're bound to make them, everyone has a problem with every ref. It's a thankless job.

Pique offside goal aswell.

Unfortunately retired, but probably the coolest ref ever to exist: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf-Dieter_Ahlenfelder

I remember there was a discussion about this ref awhile back

Viktor Kassai.

was great in the WC and 2011 CL final.

Viktor Kassai without a doubt.

I see, a Madrid fan neg repped me for mentioning Stark :vagi:

Serie A refs are the best IMO

Wolfgang Stark? 0.0

the one who reffed napoli vs chelsea did a great job

Viktor Kassai is ridiculously good.

Also, he's made a couple mistakes but I've always liked Bussaca personally. His performance in the 2009 CL final was amazing. I didn't even know he was there.

Now that I think about it, CL finals have been awesomely reffed in recent times...Webb was good in 2010 also.

They all suck, which leads me to the conclusion that they are all corrupt.
