Screw it, I'll call it bollocks first seen as no one else wants to. CBE's, MBE's and OBE's actually once used to get awarded to people for something exceptional

Precisely. People who work in charities or those who work for many years in public serve over and above the reqirement should be considered not the pampered and famous.

The majority of gongs go to these but this is a football forum.

What a joke, thought it was a wind up - it is the charity workers,fundraisers, surgeons who save children's lives and other people who benefit society who should get these awards not fellas like him who are right up their own Arse Holes

The man shamed English football with the worst refereeing perfromance ever seen in a World Cup final. Given Prince William's inept and wooden display at the World Cup bid it would appear that the Royal Family are on their last legs.
