Sure, reply to one comment and ignore the rest. Whatever works.
I'd love to hear the reactions of players and spectators and coaches and tin hat enthusiasts if players were sent off for telling the ref to "eff off" after making a call.
Wouldn't have any players left to play.
Now, tell me how you'd improve the referees member? This is probably like the 4th time I've asked you this question...
****s can moan all they like about players getting sent for telling the ref to **** off.
Problem is they are the rules.
Always have been there. It is down to the referees to enforce them
Ideas to improve the standard of referees
Firstly enforce the rules as they are.
Secondly hammer the shit out of dissent from the players and officials of the clubs
Thirdly mandatory eye tests for the officials and their guide dogs
Fourthly learn the ****ing rules of the game
Fifthly remove the bullshit about feel for the game and fear of making decisions. The refs job is to enforce the rules impartialily not to dictate an 11v 11 contest
What's the chances this " trial " game tonight will be called off ?
Jets Twitter account says game is off tonight
Newcastle Jets @NewcastleJetsFC 7m7 minutes ago
ALERT: Unfortunately tonight's #NEWvNPL friendly has been postponed due to bad weather ยป http://bit.ly/29TFxqe
I suppose the under 12s are training at speers point, can't halt their progress, how hard would it be to transfer the match to the all weather state of the art facility
What does it matter, no one was going anyway. Why don't they just organise a game of Kelly Pool, they'll all get as much out of it and the Jets might even get a win.
Where's the development? It's coming towards the end of the season and the same referees are still making the same mistakes and the quality hasn't been improving. Players get better (well usually) throughout the year because they get coaching, practice and game time. What are the referee associations and Northern doing to develop their current pool? Sitting on their ass and saying you can't say anything to the ref is just a band-aid solution when they really should be looking at developing the people they do have.
I'm not blaming the referees for their incompetence, I'm blaming the people in charge that should be improving them but aren't doing a very good job at it.
