I don’t disagree Gareth.

But in the heat of the moment so to speak refs need to be protected from abusive attacks.

Refs should be reviewed post match on their performance and if this found to be below standard then they should be advised of this and if necessary dropped from future matches.

Nobody is perfect but players at times think that they are.

What happens is what I suggested - they get fined. Their actions, their responsibility and their pockets that get hit. Not those of the club, or the fans.



It really is quite simple. Not sure why you can't grasp it?

Care to point out where the ball manufacturers or paying spectators have had to put up with abuse from the players? I've just googled it and, amazingly, nothing came up.

Speak for yourself pal! I have a rule where I do not attend unless Big Bad Brad is playing and I refuse to believe I’m the only one.

Can't get enough of the unseen work he does eh!

but without the refs there is no game for the sponsors and fans...
