should a referee ref.
How to pay for it, well, it dosn't seem a problem paying high
amounts for players to the point now it has to be capped and then
paying for accommodation and bits and pieces. I think a
little balance has to be bought to the game. You want the
best players pay for them and I think it could work that way higher
up the food chain depending what level the Federations wants the
officaials to be at. Even at grass root levels you can't tell
me there isn't money udner the table passed in one fashion or
another for the "right" player. The referee's need to step up
there is plenty for all.
Yeah the poor ole refree, it's a hard job, a thankless job,
but there has to be pay off or your wouldn't be a referee.
Why to players play... so should a referee ref, for the love of the
game.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Jesus my head almost fell laughing at
that one.
We should be professional? Come spend a week with me during NZFC
season and then tell me afterwards if I'm not professional and when
I show you what I get paid for MY effort, you tell me if you would
do the same. PM me, I'll gladly give you all of my details and
would wholeheartedly encourage you to come along and be involved
with everything I do over the course of the week. OH Oh and then,
when I barter myself out to the highest bidder, I don't want to see
you ever accuse me of being a cheat and selling out to the team
that pays me the most money.
And what do I get out of it??? The joy of being involved in a good
football game you twat!!!!
Couldn't agree more Dr Q, spot on.
"There has to be a pay-off or you wouldn't be a referee"!! Oh hell
yes, the match fees more than cover the time, effort and
expense of travelling to training sessions and games, buying
gear etc. I've been a referee for 10 years and do it solely because
I enjoy being involved in football. I don't do it for the money and
I certainly don't do it because of all the thanks I get from
players and supporters. There's always a huge queue of people who
are ready to jump all over referees and who are full of bright
ideas about what needs to be done. Only problem is that very few of
these people ever actually produce any sensible ideas about how to
go about it. As was also said earlier, funny it seems that the
people who do the most shouting about crap refereeing standards are
the same folk who wouldn't ever consider becoming a ref because "I
couldn't handle the abuse".
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.
