To add to this, one of the rules we have around participation of the ASB Premiership as an official is no media statements/commentary and social media/Yellow Fever is part of that (as I have fallen foul of in 2008). We have all signed that as part of our participation agreement. For the HAL again, you would need permission of Ben Wilson and most likely you would have to submit questions which would be straight batted. When I comment on here, I make no reference to any player, coach, team, official or incident and try to educate with law where possible. Besides, referee stories are boring... No one wants to hear about that one time, at band camp, when you did the thing with the yellow card and the player said this and said that. It's funny to us but to everyone else - *snore*. When we were in Honiara for OFC Nations Cup, I had permission from NZF to do an interview with Dale. It never made it to air because I guess of 3 reasons: a: boring, b: boring or c: I spoke too fast :o)
To be fair, the game is not about us as much as we are made the focus of sometimes - it's about the players and the fans so who wants to hear from a ref anyway. The fans constantly remind us it's not about us (not that I have ever heard any fan yell that at me :o) )
The best way to get answers to some of these things you have is pose a question. Use team A and Team B. Then as referees, we are in the role of educating, and not commenting/criticising. I believe there is a thread for this already but realise if you talk about an actual incident involving teams/officials that are a little close to home, you are unlikely to get commentary. I know Patrick is a member of a closed referee Facebook page where we discuss incidents but it's never incidents close to home and it's usually boring chatter to all but refs.
