The best way to find out about the LAWS would be for clubs to go out and buy the Laws of the Game book and have a good read.The reason you are happy with volunteer referees is that you dont heap as much shit on them and are prepared to put up with more errors from them.Let me know if you dont want association referees and they can be used elsewhere.Each situation differs and there is difficult to deal with hypotheticals.The ideal situation would for the ID association to request a meeting between coaches and referees(as is done in federation)as a group to go through things together.The ball is in your court.Lets see what happens.

Yes - because standing there quoting a law book at a referee that has made a wrong decision is going to change his mind.
Where in my post did i state that we did not want association referees?

I am dealing strictly with the contingency that there are no refs available on the day. I have no knowledge of how/where referees are allocated, and never pretended to - i'll leave that to the powers that be. I am saying: in the event that referees ARE NOT ALLOCATED on any given day, and that we have an unofficial volunteer referee trying to run the show - one that is not quite so well versed on the laws that your mates know so well - some laws may be open to interpretation and that it can be very beneficial to set some expectations before the game starts. This may avoid in-game inconsistencies.
