I have no problem with Keith's passion for the game either. The fact you think it's the only thing worth turning up to a game for says more about the quality of football???
Iain Glover's certainly regarded as one of the better referee assessors and he is helping to cultivate a new generation of referees coming up through the ranks. Give it time, be supportive. I know many of the referees and they are extremely passionate about the game and don't like making a single mistake. A referee typically makes 1500 judgements in a single game compared to a striker's 10-20 shots at goal and get a far, far higher proportion of decisions right.
It's interesting seeing the fans' perspective on refereeing. Great to see some supportive. Disappointing that there are very few constructive comments about how to improve the standard or recruit more referees. Certainly the attitudes of the fans in such a small town are going to inhibit recruitment.
I am a referee and I will probably get my arse kicked for posting on here. But them's the breaks.
