Rich Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Blue Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 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.... holoman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBieber Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark F Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Khari Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Good thing Montreal isn't in this game ... the Proulx Effect would ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlanticRiderFan Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Proulx has been the best ref in the CFL for a while now. Noeller, SPuDS and holoman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlanticRiderFan Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Perfect Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Offensive lines will be getting away with murder. Proulx is oblivious when it comes to holding calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR. CFL Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 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.... Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?!?" blitzmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 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.

DR. CFL Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
