Referee standards this season


Juniorbuff

Recommended Posts

I know that this is a common theme every season and it seems to be discussed almost on a weekly basis, but I am hopeful that this season we might actually see some good standard of refereeing. I am not their biggest fan at times, but I do appreciate they have a hard job in the juniors.

I thought id single out a few guys ive saw over the last season....one being the ref i saw tonight At the Clydebank v Cumbernauld game. Not sure who heis but have saw him a few times over the last year and he has an ability to keep his authority but at the same time seems to enjoy refereeing, having a laugh with players and just a nice guy to talk to. I met him when he did the Neilson game last season think he is in the military jobwise he mentioned, but one to watch.

Another is the guy napier. I know he gets a slagging quite a bit but when ive saw him the only reason he seems to get moaned about is because he actually applies the laws of the game - in other words does his job!

Anyways thought i would throw in my tuppensworth and see what others think. Early start to the season so far but if tonight's game at clydebank is to be followed, hopefully decent from the guys in the middle.

Napier !!!!!! Are you his dad or are you having a laugh The guy is whistle happy and makes sure every game is all about him , he is one if not the worst referee in the Juniors. IMO

Haven't seen him for a while, but last time I did, I was impressed. (And I am not his dad or having a laugh!)

I have been unfortunate to see him many many times and i now dread when i attend a game and see him warming up i no the game is going to be wasted due to his inept refereeing i honestly hope he has been fast tracked to the seniors , it is all about him unfortunately

I know what you are saying about Napie and he is very whistle happy, but when you look objectively at the actual decisions he makes they are usually spot on.

What about the military guy - any opinions? Gave a penalty against us last night (cumbernauld) but i thought he was eecent and thought the few times i've saw him that he shows an.ability to mamage players that most refs dont have.....

No doubt that means he wont be fastrackee by the powers to be who seem to demand cards all the time!!!

Napier is absolute woeful end of story. About 6 times ave seen him and it's embarrassing to watch!! No way can I defend the man!! As has been said. Walk up and see him warming up I'd gladly take my money back and get to f**k out the park

Craig Napier gets horror reviews by people on here but I can only go with what I've witnessed from him and he's been very good in our several games he's officiated in.

He's shown lots of common sense and not done very much wrong for me.

Can only go with what I've saw of him and he's been decent for me.
