Do you really mean that? Poor, officious or incompetent is one thing (well 3 things really), but that's next level. Every referring performance gets scrutinised to death - would refs really get any top level matches if they showed signs of bias? WR may quite like the cosy status quo, but that's surely not really going to extend to on field decision making.
As for calling players by their names, I've always loathed that - it can make refs appear too close to players even when they're not. Red 9 or green 10 is fine and keeps a necessary degree of separation.
