		Rennie should be praised not buried, but the referee's code of conduct appears to state otherwise.

		Referee Uriah Rennie, axed by the Premiership last summer, is continuing his international career after a breakdown in communication between the football authorities.
		When Rennie was removed from the Premiership list, it was assumed his brief international experience - he was appointed by FIFA in January - would be on hold as well.
		No official reason was given for Rennie's relegation but his demonstrative style did not go down well in some quarters and Premiership bigwigs were upset by his decision to accept sponsorship from Italian firm FILA and wear their boots in all non-Premiership matches.

		In what was to turn out not to be an isolated case, Rennie failed to dish out the necessary punishment and John looked to be in a lot of pain as he limped back into action.
		Rennie, inept as ever, failed to dish out any punishment and soon Chelsea were leaving the pitch knowing they had kept a record eighth clean sheet and established an eleven point lead over The ManUre.

	Outburst at Shearer dismissal lands Gullit in hot water
		While Gullit was right to be angry with a dreadful decision by Rennie, who showed Shearer a second yellow and then the red card for an innocuous challenge for the ball with Colin Calderwood, the Newcastle manager was wrong to go public with such venom.
		When Rennie watched the replay of the incident, he would no doubt have winced at his mistake.
		Rennie and his assistants needed 10 police and security guards to get to the safe car and be driven away from the ground, running a gauntlet of abuse.

		Referee Uriah Rennie is set to be punished for manhandling Manchester United's Roy Keane prior to the Irishman's sending off at Sunderland.
		However, the PMOGB - which is in charge of referees and assistants - believes Rennie acted beyond his remit in the fiesty fixture at the Stadium of Light by laying hands on a player.
		If Rennie doesnt get a slap on the wrists(and that I hope is all it will be) some knob would have complained the very next time a player "mishandled" a ref. The point would have been made that Rennie did it to Keane and nothing was done to him etc..

		'Uriah Rennie's intervention on this occasion served to prevent an escalation of the situation and was part of a very commendable refereeing performance.

	TalkSoccer.net \| Forum - Oh no! Rennie returns
		Unbelievably Uriah Rennie has been appointed as the referee for Saturday’s game with Manchester United.
		Rennie’s offences against Newcastle are too numerous to bother going into and his dislike of Alan Shearer is well known, so for the authorities to appoint him for such an important match is a joke.
		But when it comes to Rennie no criticism of his performances can ever be judged as being too strong - he is simply not good enough to be refereeing professional football matches, as numerous managers will testify.

		Europe's leading referees were also urged at a UEFA course in Corfu earlier this year to report any incident of racism they encountered, against themselves or others, on and off the field.
		Rennie, who joined the international list in 2000 after rising through the local, regional and semi-professional ranks before becoming an English FA Premiership referee, has earned considerable respect for his refereeing ability, and says he has largely been spared the evils of intolerance in his career.
		Rennie supports the view that football's fight against racism must be a long-term campaign rather than something that is here today but forgotten again in a few years' time.

		Hackett has Uriah Rennie, Neil Barrie and Stephen Lodge under his tutelage and he is their first point of contact.
		Hackett said: "With fitness, diet and personal coaching from people like me, using videos to analyse performance, I believe we can improve referees' performance by between 10 and 15 per cent." After a game each referee fills in a self-assessment sheet and along with the independent observer's report it is sent to Hackett to analyse.
		He highlighted this to Rennie, who obviously learnt the lesson because, after giving a warning, he booked Warren Barton for that offence.

		Although not an intentional hand-ball, Rennie awarded the spot-kick which Clark blasted home to score a goal which obviously meant a lot to the Stockton-born player.
		Although Quakers were thankful for the spot-kick, Evans and his Rochdale teammates were justifiably furious as Evans had been stood just a yard away from Clark when the former Pool player kicked the ball towards his left arm.

		Rennie and his officials completely missed a trip by Harewood on Richard Naylor and a hand-ball by Etherington leading up to the home side's opening goal while Pardew argued that the Yorkshire officials decision to award the free-kick to Town that led to the Blue's first goal was a soft-one.
