Thanks Paul, the standard of refereeing is becoming concerning. I'm sure it is getting worse, unless I'm just becoming a grumpy old git.
You referred to one or two incidents. There was another incident that was 100% yellow, when Maguane was coming out of defence in one of his purposeful strides only for Maguire (I think it was him) to cynically hack him down. Zero intention of getting the ball, a straight clip of the legs to stop our attack. Ref gave us a free kick but no yellow. It was a yellow all day long. To not give a yellow was just total incompetence.
What feed back do refs get from games (There is some report from the ref assessor).
Do they go on any training courses (Continuing Professional Standards etc)?
Do they watch back the whole video of the match they have just reffed so they can learn from their mistakes.
Do the clubs give genuine feedback 48 hours after a match (Sometime would need to be given to let people like Robbo calm down)
Do the refs meet up on a regular basis and discuss matters.
Or do they just sit at home between matches and go jogging to keep fit.
Better move on, there seems quite a bit of activity on another thread, anyone know what it is about?
