Every now and then, I come on this forum hoping to find the knowledge of a vikingjet,the humour of scozzy or the sarcasm of q-money. Instead I get retards worrying about grammar and punctuation. No wonder everyone's gone. RIP.

There is nothing wrong with explaining a decision MFKS. It just depends on how you deliver it and choosing which decisions to explain. You make it quick and concise so as not to disrupt the flow of the game. It helps to quell a situation from blowing up. If u ignore it, players and spectators think u don't care. Inexperienced referees sometimes lack the confidence to use verbal communication which can greatly improve their ability to control a match. This takes time, confidence to hone. What one player responds to, the next one won't, so it forces a ref to adapt (if they realise) to the different personalities of players in a game (often heated) situation. There are ways of speaking to players on the run and at stoppages in the match to get your point across. If you fail to use your voice in a game, the harder it becomes to control it.
Those who choose to ref, have the balls to try it. It's generally a thankless job and underpaid job. Not everyone is going to agree on every decision, it's impossible. Abuse? Not needed and unfortunately it can eat away at an individual who just wants to be a part of the game and provide others the chance to enjoy the game we all love. Why do we have so many young and inexperienced refs? Huge turnover rates. Experienced refs circumstances in life changing. Younger refs having to be pushed up to a grade that they may not be ready for. Basically fast-tracked but not by choice. they need games under their belt. They need time. They need to be willing to learn (like players, if they aren't, they generally don't develop and progress).
Respect. Something that is earned yes, to a degree. Something that should be afforded to someone who has the balls to undertake a job that many others haven't got the guts to try and would prefer to sit on the sidelines or behind a keyboard and tell them how they are doing it wrong...

My two cents worth on the referee debate.
Firstly this is an argument that plagues every sport. Unless we want to turn all games into one massive video review where every decision is replayed & reviewed then we need to rely on human judgement & interpretation. Unfortunately this means that sometimes they get it wrong, but never intentionally, but in the long run they get far more decisions correct than they stuff up. But again it's those minority wrong decisions that attract all the attention & discussion. It's like a plane crash, they never report the tens of thousands of planes that take off & land safely day in, day out but as soon as one crashes it's all over the news.
As far as numbers of referees go it is obvious to me why there is so few to choose from. No young kid sits at home & thinks I want to be a ref & no parent plans for his/her child to be a ref. They want to play the game & be a player. Nobody grows up wanting to be a referee. The vast majority of kids that find out they aren't good, don't enjoy it or were forced into it don't hang around. They leave the game altogether. This leaves a tiny pool of people left over who have enough interest in the game to stay involved but for some reason be it injury, lack of skill or something else choose not to play but to referee.
Overall I think it's a thankless job & know that no referee ever intentionally makes mistakes. So rather than bag them all players & supporters should be glad that we have enough refs dedicated to the game to get a kick every weekend. If we aren't prepared ourselves to do the job then we should be in no place to criticise.
I hate this thread
Who is getting along to Hicksville tonight to watch the top of the table clash between Edgeworth and Olympic
Prediction 2-2
olympic 3 - 1
Can someone explain to me how Weston and Valentine are the match of the round this weekend and the only game live on bar tv. Do NNSW FOOTBALL have any idea at all about football
I know Im easily amused but I have always thought BarTV sounds like a porno channel.
I remember last week they were plugging match of the round on the radio as Buds V Azzurri
The Magic Edgy clash apparently was a less appealing contest
Like they do every year it's the same thing. Games are spread evenly over first 9 rounds then it's the actual match of the round after that. are we that desperate to find things to complain about
Sehr clever, geben Sie sich einen grossen Beifall.Schade, es zeigt Ihnen, wie eine komplette Analphabeten.dont wurry seldam, thiss tonstar iz a absaloot loanly boi....
I work hard, therefor I enjoy a couple of sherbets on a Friday, however the drive from Whitebridge to edgeworth is way to far for me at night, enjoy Hicksville
Geez FR you making out a 10-15 minute drive with traffic is the equivalent of driving to Adelaide.
It not that far away
Northern must be doing something right if the only thing worth complaining about is who the writer listed as match of the round.
As usual this doesn't make sense.
It's the night time driving that I'm not a fan of
I'll try to go slower for you next time.
