Absolutely agree with you, the games the ref loses control and becomes the centre of attention is where they get top marks.. guys who fly under the radar by controlling the games get told they had an easy game. Personal fav of mine would be Richard Murray who played football and talks to players like a gent... He won't make it

I think sometimes we overlook the obvious, Callum is arrogant, no denying it but he wasn't always and now he's a cat1 referee, maybe it's the system and not the person that needs to change. On the point of refereeing being a hobby, look at what the refs do as a 9-5 , to use Callum as an example he protects children from the dregs if society so maybe that plays a part in his demeanor. I'm not being on anyone's side but there's always a bigger picture, it's easier to see if you don't have an alliance to any club in particular...
