But you?re right regarding referees potentially being too young. It?s a major problem in my opinion regarding how northern has taken over the refereeing. 10 years ago it was the best youngsters of the ?junior? branches reffing on NPL/NEWFM juniors, and they could handle it. These days, if a young kid joins northern directly, they?re generally thrown onto PYL very quickly without having the experience from the junior branches that helps them to deal with that level. As an result, unfortunately, mistakes happen. If a ref makes a mistake, like a goalkeeper, it can have a major impact on the game.
These 2 parents also argued about the refs age and apparently plays for another team in same competition? In same age group?I don?t know if that?s true so don?t hold that against me but that was mentioned in their tiff. If true that?s not on. Surely the age below at least. Not same or older ages until adulthood. I?m sure just like players get nervous so do refs and we can?t just throw them into deep end.
