June 8, 20251 yr Popular Post Truly sad for a good man who refused to follow the big-boys protection racket. RIP Uriah.
June 8, 20251 yr Popular Post If there is such a thing as a favourite ref Uriah Rennie would be mine. May he RIP
June 8, 20251 yr Reading the comments on Facebook it seems that everyone rated him, not just us. Top referee
June 8, 20251 yr That’s a shame Whenever he reffed us you’d never have to worry about the ref being dogshit
June 9, 20251 yr In the top 3 of my favourite referees of all time along with Pierluigi Collina and the chubby little curly haired lad who used to struggle with his balance in England in the the 70's whose name escapes me for the moment. RIP Uriah. Top bloke.
June 9, 20251 yr Always rated Rennie,he refused to be bullied by the 'Big 6' Premier League managers. Sad to think that he was super fit not too long ago. Rip Uriah
June 9, 20251 yr I remember the fingers crossed waiting for referee appointments. Have we got Uriah? As others have said, the only referee who didn’t seem to have a(n unconscious) bias towards the big teams. This was probably because he would not only refuse to be bullied by players and/or managers trying to intimidate him, but he’d also deal with it quickly, firmly and effectively. Without doubt, the best referee I’ve witnessed in my lifetime. Rest in peace, Uriah.
June 9, 20251 yr Chatted to him at Hallam FC when Colls played there in a cup game, he was a regular visitor there, top man and referee
June 9, 20251 yr Rip big man The only time we lost when he reffed us was when we didn't turn up. Best ref that man.
June 9, 20251 yr Firm but fair every time. If you did have a favourite official it would be Uriah Rennie.
June 9, 20251 yr Brought a different level of fitness to lower leagues refereeing. Went on yo be one of the best.
June 9, 20251 yr Just echoing all the comments above, top ref and bloke, very sad to hear of his passing.
June 9, 20251 yr Always a bonus when he reffed us , you knew he would be fair & unaffected by the big club bias .Unlike many of his colleagues. RIP Uriah.
June 9, 20251 yr He was great to us. Fantastic win record, lots of pens IIRC and reds given to opposing sides. Not giving a blatant pen late against Thome at Molineux in 2004, only for Davies to go down the other end and score the winner at the death to send them down. Hundreds of whites singing ‘one Uriah Rennie’ as we left the away end with tempers flaring. Good times. Edited June 9, 20251 yr by BWFC_LOVE
