The story in Nelson paper is saying the unless certain coaches go then the refs would withdraw their services, what would happen if a club(s) said they did not want a certain ref involved in their games.

Strongly agree, refs like players should just concentrate on a saturday afternoon (sunday if you're in Nelson). If a coach is out of line, book him, if he keeps it up, send him off. The same applies to players. Ultimately if a team ends up with 5 on the pitch or a coach who consistently gets sent off then they'll soon wind their necks in because they won't be effective at this game. In the meantime and this is a personal opinion I wish the everyone would harden the f*(& up (ref's and players alike) and just get on with it.
