Guest mcbainthepain Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Is the quality of refereeing in the duchy leagues getting worse and worse each year? Give your opinion on both good and bad refereeing performances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mongoose Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Think that they are fairly good standard really. And after all i certainly think they need encouragement as we need them so we can play but not many of us (myself included) would want to take over so well done to them that do :clapper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tafc.-gaffa Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 On a whole i think they do a good job but like players they are prone to have a mare but that is football!!! My hat goes off to them as its a thankless job and im glad they do it else my afternoons would be spent in the pub spending money not enjoying the beautifull game!!!! Keep it up refs!!!!

droskynstarman Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Honestly if you keep moaning about refs your going to have your subs reffing senior games in a couple of years! Dont forget the ref is usually the only honest person on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnno Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Played Duchy league last season after many years senior and was suprised how good the refs were. To be honest, had more problems with the senior refs who thought they had made the big time cause they were reffing in the SWL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Eddy Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 why not turn this discussion around and ask is the standard of play any better this year and leave the referees alone :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Yeatman Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I think a few 'big' incidents in last Saturday's Wadebridge v Newton Abbott Spurs game sum up this debate quite well. Mid way through the first half a Newton Abbott Spurs player committed a pretty awful challenge on a Wadebridge player. Most people at the match acknowledged it wasn't malicious but it was a MISTAKE. Tony Cloak the referee made a MISTAKE and missed the split second when it occurred and so didn't issue what most expected to be a yellow card. In the heat of the moment the Wadebridge player, out of character, made a MISTAKE and retaliated and got what was probably a deserved red card. Later in that half Wadebridge manager Stuart Dudley was sent to the stands for something he shouted at the referee and he himself has since called called regretful. Stuart made a MISTAKE in the heat of the moment. I made a MISTAKE because I thought Stuart had said something completely different and didn't deserve to be dismissed. I challenged a linesman afterwards but I was wrong. The Spurs winning goal happened because a Wadebridge player made a MISTAKE and played the ball to an opponent who scored. Lot of MISTAKES like this happen at every game in every league but, in most cases, it is the referees who get the majority of the flak. Food for thought?

Guest toaster15 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I think refs need a bit more help from the players. It doesn't help ramdomly appealing for every decision, even when you know you're wrong (and cheating). Some teams tend to make a habit of this, mentioning no names nhfc. One of the worse crimes is cheating club linesmen, now that is really annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr unorthodox Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 i am a qualified ref, but before i was i'd always argue with the decision always make a ref's life hell! now i see it from the other side of the fence, and hardly ever moan or give them grief when im playing. think if more players took upon the qulification did a few matches they would see the game from the other side of the fence and be more empathetic towards referee's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
