The portly ex ref on the BBC.

How was he ever a ref, he calls absolutely everything incorrectly.

I don’t think he ever was a ref, was he? Was widely acknowledged as the country’s best linesman though.

He was a lino, and a good one at that.

Shame he’s a Norwich fan.

Is that right. I just assumed he was a ref as he’s being paid to assess all the refereeing decisions.

Can see why he was never a ref then.

All linos are refs first, then specialise as lino...

Championship and PL lino's are often ref's at L1 or L2.

They always used to be the case, and I believe Darren refereed as high as the Conference level, but it changed around 10 years ago when they forced referees to commit to specialising as either referees or assistant referees at a much earlier stage in their career. Pretty much all L2 and above refs have committed to that career path before getting the gig now.
