I agree with the sentiment that all refs should be treated better and respected. However that's not the quick fix we need right now, simple fact is that currently there are not enough refs to service the amount of games played on the Saturday. If more teams played on Friday or Sunday then this wouldn't be an issue, teams want to insist on playing on a Saturday so this is the issue we have to deal with.

Club's complain every year that they don't receive refs yet they ignore the suggestion to solve the issue.
