Just going back to the refs, personally I think the standard is pretty poor, most have little experience playing and as a result a lot of common sence goes out the window with things such as playing the advantage or recognising when a situation has potential to flare up and when something is just handbags at dawn. However theirs no excuse for some of the abuse that they receive (I've been guilty of it a few times myself) and you do wonder why they give up their weekends to get sht off people. Alternatively as a youngster I remember giving lip to a ref and being told that if I didn't shut the F@# up that he would lay the head on me so maybe they could try that on the referee courses.
