Posted November 26, 201410 yr comment_96927 Referee #28 Andre Proulx Umpire #31 Ben Major Head Linesman #67 Justin McInnes Line Judge #74 Tim Kroeker Side Judge #21 Don Carmichael Back Judge #42 Carey Anderson Field Judge #51 Bryan Taylor Backup Referee #48 Kim Murphy Backup Official #34 Ritchie Miller Backup Official #57 Marty Carreau Never much been a fan of Proulx. Always seemed to be bad calls against the Bombers when we played Montreal. However this is his 5th Grey Cup game and 3rd as head referee. Must be doing something right. Other then Kim Murphy, don't recognize much of the other names. Which is probably a good thing when you are a referee.
November 26, 201410 yr comment_96929 I find Proulx struggles to call an even game. Something that draws a penalty on one side doesn't for the other. Not a fan.

I don't disatree
November 26, 201410 yr comment_96932 Frenchie Proulx gets a bad rap because people like to at his accent when calling penalties and such, but I've never had a problem with him calling games. So much better than Kim Murphy and people like that...or, God help us, Jake "The Snake" Ireland....

So much better than Kim Murphy and people like that...or, God help us, Jake "The Snake" Ireland.... No, it isn't his accent, it is his bias for Montreal. No issues with him in games where Montreal isn't playing.
November 26, 201410 yr comment_96936 Third Grey Cup as the Official... 2004 and 2011 were the previous two. Some stats from Proulx crew games this year: 333 penalties in 17 games for an average of 20. (Rest of the games was 1501 penalties for 22 per game) 81 calls for Offside/Procedure 93 calls for Blocking Fouls 54 calls for Roughness 32 No Yards 33 PI/Illegal Contact Some other misc such as illegal punt, kick, time count, etc. for the rest Nice to see Ben Major get the call. He deserves it for coming back from that kick to the head.
November 26, 201410 yr comment_96937 20 penalties a game. Part of the reason the games were so dull this year. thanks for the info. I had the impression he was one of the flag happy crews; I was wrong on that.
November 26, 201410 yr comment_96942 Good thing Montreal isn't in this game ... the Proulx Effect would ruin it.
November 27, 201410 yr comment_96943 UGH. Proulx is a terrible ref. Always one-sided. I can guess that Calgary is going to be called a lot here as he has East bias.
November 27, 201410 yr comment_96946 Proulx has been the best ref in the CFL for a while now. If he is, that's not saying a whole lot. I have never liked Proulx.
November 27, 201410 yr comment_96949 Offensive lines will be getting away with murder. Proulx is oblivious when it comes to holding calls.
November 27, 201410 yr comment_96951 If Proulx shows bias for Montreal I guess the Quebec contingent might say the same about Bradbury and Wade's brother Ritchie showing bias for Winnipeg....
November 27, 201410 yr comment_96952 You think Ritchie Miller was ever biased towards the Bombers? I never noticed him.
November 27, 201410 yr comment_96955 Offensive lines will be getting away with murder. Proulx is oblivious when it comes to holding calls. That seems to be a chronic problem with all crews...some games I almost wonder if it isn't by design to protect the QBs.
November 27, 201410 yr comment_96956 Offensive lines will be getting away with murder. Proulx is oblivious when it comes to holding calls. That seems to be a chronic problem with all crews...some games I almost wonder if it isn't by design to protect the QBs. Designed to create offense and make the game exciting
November 27, 201410 yr comment_96957 We're in store for a game full of benalties & turds as there's too many trees on the field.
November 27, 201410 yr comment_96961 If Proulx shows bias for Montreal I guess the Quebec contingent might say the same about Bradbury and Wade's brother Ritchie showing bias for Winnipeg.... I've never found Al Bradbury to call in our favour.... I can recall on several occasions joking "C'mon Bradbury, how about a little home cooking?!?"
November 27, 201410 yr comment_96973 Glen Johnson was always the one you could make a case for showing some hometown bias, but seriously...yeah, it's a low bar, but Frenchie Proulx has been the league's best official for awhile now.
November 27, 201410 yr comment_96979 Having officiated a number of sports I often found people would suggest that I was more biased against the "home team". Perhaps unconsciously not wanting to be accused of being a "homer". I find Bradbury to be one of the top referees and was hoping he would get the Cup. I guess he has to still pay his dues in the seniority game.
