McCauley, Lee and Skilliter stand out for me. Hard to believe they were picked over the other names which I mostly don't know which is usually a good thing.

Give me Paul Devorski, Kerry Fraser, Paul Stewart, and Andy van Hellemond any day over the wusses they have today.

McCauley, Lee and Skilliter stand out for me. Hard to believe they were picked over the other names which I mostly don't know which is usually a good thing.

McCauley has been marketed as the “fun” official because of his dramatic calls and I think people confuse that with him actually being good at his job.

Players have voted him as being one of the best officials in the game but I wonder if that’s just because of name recognition. He’s terrible every time I see him ref a game. I think he thinks he is the main attraction.

Give me Paul Devorski, Kerry Fraser, Paul Stewart, and Andy van Hellemond any day over the wusses they have today.

I won't stand for such disrespect to the great Don van Massenhoven.
