That's just greedy and you're essentially cheating the teams in both games; you have to pace yourself through both, but not giving 100% to either. I was far from the best referee around, but I always gave my best. I know many who will do a game on a Saturday and a Sunday and I can find no fault in that, but 5 games in one day? If true that really is ripping the pish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the flagman Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 5 games in a day is terrible my m8 only does one on a sat and one on a sunday and he keeps up with play no issues at times having to slow down for the players in ayrshire we have about 4 or 5 who can keep up with the play no issues the same cant be said if the players a see one or two out running all the time but no players a rest my point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I gave up refereeing as I didn't have the time. Took it up as a way to stay involved with the game. May do it again if circumstances allow but wouldn't do it if I couldn't keep up with play and certainly wouldn't ever do more than 1 game a day. It does annoy me when I see refs not able to keep up with play as it's a pre requisite to have a basic level of fitness. I know there is a shortage of referees but If I was SFA, SAFA I would be taking refs off the list who do not/are unable to keep up with play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then mate, one game a weekend say 40 week a year is 1600 quid a year, surely your fuel costs, strip washing cost and other expenses that come from reffing didnt cost you that a year?

Referees with reasonable commitment and availability would be doing 30-40 games a season. Games do get postponed but they still have to be played and refereed at some time through the season.

the flagman Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 but you dont think they are in it only for the money m8 all that abuse from some mindless idiots who dont know what they are talking about the best are in ayrshire a have no doubt of that at all m8 all it is they are doing is tryingvto intimidate the referee in order to get the decision in there favour have the players couldnt even tell you as to how many laws there are in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye the Gnu Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Sorry mate, but that's just WRONG. By all means talk up the best referees, but anonymously slagging the worst ones on a public forum is even worse than calling him/her a useless c**t from the touchlines. If you want to have a go, feel free to put your own./real name beside it. Referees have feelings too you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye the Gnu Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 It's been a while since I hung up my whistle and I haven't seen much amateur football over the years as I now have a season ticket at Rugby Park, but Ricky Crowe, Gary Campbell, Chris Brawles and Rab Hunter were all kicking about back then and remain top whistlers. I'll bet here are few players fitter than Chris and Rab around even now and these guys will be over 50 now. If my memory serves me right Derek Park is the classic case of poacher turned gamekeeper as he was a nightmare to referee when he played, absolute headcase on he park,but now an excellent referee.I'm sure he'll admit he's probably fitter now than when he was playing. Can't comment on the younger ones tho'. ADD. Ok I take back what I said about naming and shaming shite refs. just back from Hamilton and Willie Collum is a f****ing disgrace.
