Give Them A Break.

I now feel sorry for referees. Shock horror yes I know but really, I do.

 

I was referee for the 5th vs 6th years game at my school today, and I volunteered to be ref (despite being a 5th year).

 

Barely had to blow my whistle, but it's really hard to make decisions. I made a few really dodgy ones, but just told them to play to my whistle.

 

Unfortunately I had to abandon the game after 35 minutes due to severe coldness, rain and gale force winds.

 

But the point I'm making is that it's really hard to be a ref. Was getting absolute dogs abuse from my peers the second I made a decision.

 

I'll not be so unfair to the ref from the stand next time now...well, unless he makes a dodgy decision e.g. abandon the match

Had the re-arranged game today from 5.30pm - 7.30pm. The abuse was worse than before. It's not nice being called a "Ginger c**t".

 

You'd have to be mad to be a ref...
