waltzingmatilda Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 what's happening to refs in West Cornwall. Some appear to Have packed up and others not reffing many games. I know the fishman Andy has retired as its been on this forum, but there's no mention of others packing up. On the Combo Fulltime site Luke Wilkes, Jon Barnicoat, Paul Butler, Neil Rudkin, Liam Mankee all with very few fixtures. Did hear Paul Windle had moved away, top ref in my opinion and will proberly be badly missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marazion2013 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Well Neil Rudkin refereed our game yesterday. Not sure if Paul Windle has moved but he did retire through injury at end of last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 No wonder there's no refs, just read all the shit on here today about them. No football at all in a minute if people don't shut the ---- up! and all grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltzingmatilda Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Thanks Luke. I was just curious as on another thread St Agnes (a senior side) were looking for a ref, so I had a look to see who was still reffing combo. Are you the same Luke that helped out?

pointers Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Plenty of refs, just too many bloody teams!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Its bit of that as well, but the continual bitching by all the girlies on here is getting boring. Wish they would all go and powder their noses. Blame the ref....never them or their team, which 99% of the time its their own misgivings that gives the result.

kevin richards Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Your spot on Dave. I had a go at Luke in our game yesterday, only out of frustration because it was my team that was crap, not him !!!! I did apologise afterwards though.

Halfback Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Well done kevin,,, all too often teams blame the ref,,, never the fault of their team who fail to take chances, or let in too many goals!! Mullion have a good bloke at the helm ,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Eddy Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 the list can be misleading I am registered but rarely ref as I am running the line, assisting the ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointers Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Pointers, unfortunately there are not plenty of ref`s, each year the numbers decrease, it is a difficult job and one that creates lots of animosity hence the abuse that is constantly thrown in their direction, I do not think it`s the sole cause but certainly a contributing factor. Each year the numbers decrease...yet the teams keep being accepted into the leagues!? How many mobile phones do you have? Like most people probably 1, there is not much point in having 2/3/4 of them if you can only use one at a time, so why have say x30 referees but 85 teams....surely someone at some point needs to make the decision that they stop accepting new teams until the balance of referees to clubs levels out?!
