The FFA allows clubs to make "Marquee" signings which are not covered by the Salary Cap to "Improve" the standard of the League.
 
We all know the Refereeing standards have been consistently poor this season so which referee would bring the most to the A-League by way of improvement???

Frankie Mac. He's the only one FFA could afford, since I'm sure he'll happily referee for a couple of pies.

Collina's retired, so I'll go for Jamie Cross as well

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Collina was the best referee. He has the respect of everyone. Only Fifa stupid retirement rules forced him out. despite his age, he was super fit.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

As a player I never left the centre circle - I imagine that I could do the same as a ref.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Any of you ever see Collina's "clash of heads" with a player in a Serie A game?
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Collina is a dirty cheat! The decisions he made in his last game saw Everton knocked out of the champions league 2 years ago. He was definatly paid off! Discraceful!!
 
Come to think of it, maybe Terry could flick him a few bob to have a decisions go our way?!

Sorry guys I can't resist. This post has to be the biggest load of sh*t on here. Use your heads and read the media on deficits in the FFA income etc. How do they afford....


DUH

Oh yeah. Breeze and O'Leary are going to world club champs (Yay Pete). Quality officials? They are obviously recognised as such....

I didn't think it was a serious thread, or I wouldn't have gone for Jamie C

Get some of the retired refs who are deemed 'too old' to ref in the big leagues. They will make the A-League refs look like drunk children.

Marquee Ref been done before in NZ  to a fashion. Late 1960's a top English referee, Arthur Luty appeared on the scene on a coaching visit. He took control of an Hungaria v Diamond game at Memorial Park. Pulled a good crowd just by his appearance. Respected by players and crowd alike.

Dont know whether that would work today. People like Kewell, Emerton and Fowler havent exactly demanded respect as players.

Unfortunately the rule that stopped Cullina refereeing is world wide.

Our last guest referee in domestic football ws a young Australian ref who reffed a Team Wellington game before his A-League debut.

Some bloke named Gillet.

As a young doctor, one of my career highlights was being asked by my boss to complete a physical examination for a FIFA referee's medical certificate. It was actually one of the most extensive examinations I have had to do, cardiorespiratory systems, abdominal exam, extent of flexion and extension possible in each joint of his lower limbs... there wasn't much it missed. After the fellow had left I realised that there wasn't a requirement to examine his eyesight though!

I mentioned this to the referee when he returned the next week to get me to sign off his blood test and ECG results, he had a chuckle too. He wasn't Jarred Gillet.


I've now used up my one good football story and will probably never have reason to post again.
