Match Officials

Recommended Posts

Having witnessed a number of poor officials last season and again this campaign, I have been trying to understand why this is exactly and I do think I might have a valid point. Darren Deadman and Stuart Attwell in my opinion are prime example of this, I don't think they're just "poor" officials. I believe a lot of it stems from how they officiate games.

Both avoided stamping their authority in the games.

They did issue cards, yet neither really "voiced" themselves. I think Referees in this league need to get a little smarter, they need to make the players respect them and avoid giving unnecessary cards when a simple warning could be given instead. A player would respond in my opinion better, it would cut out players who flop to the ground and I honestly feel that there's a lot absent respect for referees in the modern game, yet I do think a lot of it they're to blame for.

No doubt it's tough, though it's not exactly rocket science.

I think both Darren and Stuart lost the games early, neither was really in control and I don't think it's right to say it was because they were "big" games. I think it all boils down to how they conduct themselves and make themselves known.

Thoughts?

i think referees should speak more to the players, they remind me of bad parents.

some do give warnings and on occasions i think too many, its the balance i suppose but i think saturdays ref should have spoken to the players more. the gary jones card had me annoyed because he just came straight out with it and there nothing in it imo. then they clobbered one of our players not long after! no card, no ticking off.
