Uriah Rennie,

 Died aged 65.

"Oh, and fuck off you cunts on this thread, disrespecting him."

I posted before you, you cսnt, and I was stating a fact. You're only offended because of his skin colour. If it was a Keith Hackett death thread, you wouldn't have said a word

And there you have it. If you want to know why all the decent posters on a once busy forum have pissed off, leaving just the dregs in a ghost town of a forum, I give you example A.

I thought he started off as a decent ref, but then it seemed to go to his head.

Shocked about him passing away. 65 is no age.

[One Sunny Day]

there were brown/black referees before him, alfie buksh being one. if you were going back then, pre internet days so very difficult to know who the ref was, you dreaded seeing his name on the back of the programme (there were very few you didn't dread seeing, and the standard's got no better). cunts like one sunny day clearly didn't go to games, and was probably attending a diversity seminar or the local antifa meeting

Not once did I even hint at the colour of his skin. Uriah didn't either, just got on and did a professional job. Like all refs, he was on a hiding to nothing because any little mistake or decision is going to rile up the fans of the team it went against. You coming in this thread to use the man's death to make unfounded, personal attacks on people paying tribute only underlines what a complete skid mark and embarrassment you are and nothing more.

Wasn't the greatest ref but I admired him, and yes he just got on with it. Never a victim.
​​​​​​RIP.

Was he any worse than Graham (Hey Jimmy Floyd, let me be a part of your free kick routine) Poll?
Or Graham (instead of a red card, let me give you another yellow card) Poll? 

Or Mike (the game of football is all about me, so don't give me that look or you will be carded ) Dean?

Or Howard ( I just saw De Jong kung Fu kick Xabi Alonso in the chest, so I will only give you a yellow) Webb?

RIP Uriah Rennie

Average ref at best tho he did look like he could handle himself in a tear up.


RIP

[Fauxstralian]

Wouldn’t be a hypocrite and say he was a great ref …. Think it was one of the home playoff semi finals against Ipswich where we drew & then won away when he was memorably poor.
But he was a pioneer (have there been many black refs since) & would have taken a lot of shit to get where he did
Was reading he was a magistrate, had an MBA & was appointed Chancellor of Sheffield Hallam University 
RIP

Worst referee ever

Hopeless Ref.
RIP

I actually didn't mind old Rennie. Can think of a hell of a lot worse Refs than him down the years. Didn't make it all about himself either. Clattenburg, Dean and Poll he most definitely wasn't. RIP

Also he was a good example of 'DEI' that works based just on merit and not because of the colour of his skin. We never made a song and dance like nowadays to prove there's such a problem. That's not convenient for their divisive logic though.

[One Sunny Day]

R.I.P. A great ref and and great man. One of the few who didn't get intimidated when Roy Keane tried to throw his weight around.
Oh, and fuck off you cunts on this thread, disrespecting him. 

[XKhammer]

Worst referee ever

Reminds me of my mate who died from heartburn. I still can’t believe Gav is gone. 


Anyway, as said, sad for this who knew him. Awful ref but will be known as a trailblazer. Doubt he made the grade if he was a white bloke called John Smith, but a good legacy nevertheless. 

 

i did chuckle.  RIP

sad for his family, but a terrible referee

[Gary Strodders shank]

RIP

He was a martial arts expert if I remember rightly.

I remember a game against Southampton they scored a perfectly good goal but he disallowed it,i think for pushing.
