A very generous 2 from me.

He was undoubtedly crying into his pint of Vaux Regal that night having been unable to manufacture 3 points for the home team.

Of course it does help if fans really understand the laws of the game before they criticise referees. Just saying.

You could always use the FA's own method of measuring referee performance?



This is what every grassroots team has to complete after each game.

Do Football League teams fill out anything similar?

This is what you get when you use the FA Full Time site for your league so it does cover quite a range of leagues, teams etc but mostly lower level not Football league to my knowledge, this link gives you a good idea; http://fulltime-league.thefa.com/TopLeagues.do

The system of marking a referee from 1-100 began in Oxfordshire by the way, so as to more accurately 'rate' a referee's performance, 1-10 wasn't really fair or able to show a referee's ability or lack of it as clearly. The FA took it on nationally for all it's referee Assessors after a 2season trial started by school teacher Mervyn Hughes from Headley Way, the then OFA Assessor's Secretary. Clubs got the chance a year or two later. Marks under 40 then required a letter of explanation, this was raised to 60 and the simple tick box above made it easier for clubs to report referees. By some irony, clubs have been known to deliberately mark the poor referees highly to help them get promoted.......and get rid of them! Fact!
