You play the hand your dealt ,so to speak, we as a club dealt our own hand and ended up in a division with lesser experienced refs ,they have to learn somewhere .You cannot have two refs running around a pitch so these guys are in the worst position of all, they have nowhere to hide and awfully abusive players and fans putting untold pressure on ,often young, inexperienced humans .I do have to say our team is pretty indisciplined too.
Refs cannot be coached through games they sit an exam get trained and effectively get thrown into the limelight to learn on the job . An assessor on the side is all they get and he’s there to assess ,another pressure ,not aid
This last one was a clear mistake and as apollo says they cannot get it right all the time. Cameras and phone cameras giving every angle have only served to highlight the few mistakes they make .They make fewer mistakes than the players they referee I’d wager .If any driver for instance had that level scrutiny they’d lose their licence immediately none of us would have a licence now .
The comment regarding Whitehall shows him to be A ,human ( we’d all lean towards that if there was doubt} ) B Totally naïve, what did he think he was doing by saying that,if he actually did?
WE lost our heads ,missed chances again and lost the game,that’s not something to shy away from
