Indeed, and thus describes himself to a T (or tea in his lingo). He wants referees to be like him.

And I have to agree with him about Clattenburg making drastic decisions, he always tends to make drastic decisions, although I fail to see how that makes him the best referee. Rather the opposite. Referees are not there to make drastic decisions that effect the outcome of games, they are there to ensure the games flows and the rules are applied uniformly and fairly. And certainly not to make drastic decisions.
But I suppose when some one talks about lacking complacency being an attribute and 0-0s being wins, then it's no surprise he favours drastic decision making as the hallmark of a good referee. Every village has its idiot, I suppose.

(PS: Roger, I think we should let the global thingy slide for a bit, since his return, he's trying his darnest to provide us with untold amounts of humour with the daftest possible explanations, all at his expense. Never has a user sacrificed so much for the benefit of others. At least until we tire of him)
