Or, that it's an incredibly tough job and sometimes they won't get it right, and also, quite often the decisions that they are perceived to have gotten wrong, they got right, but from your angle in the ground, probably after a few pints and with your teams hat on, you might be a biased. Every decision a ref makes goes against somebody and its the nature of the game that fans feel aggrieved when one goes against them. Sometimes the ref makes a shocking decision, and often they get criticised for being arrogant, wanting all the attention etc. Well, I'm sorry, but you'd have to have that type of personality to put yourself in that position in the first place. If I was a ref and received the abuse that they get by both players and fans, I'd have definitely have been sacked for retaliating to it, or intentionally miss a game changing offside etc to get at those abusing me!
If you watch a game as a neutral, it is hilarious how often each set of fans appeal for things and shout at the ref, when he has got it perfectly correct. The problem with a lot of football fans is they don't actually know the rules of the game.
People always say things such as "The standard of reffing at this level is abysmal", yet you here Premiership Managers, players, fans every week complaining about the officials, so therefore if they can't get it right every time at that level, why do we think they can at conference level. The teams we are playing are worse, so it makes sense that the refs will be.
Completely off topic, so sorry about that, but it does irk me.
Also, that article was very interesting, and great to see us scoring so well, proves that our league position isn't a false one.
