Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 If that leads to a goal it would be mental - though I bet many players don't know this (as well as many other basic) rules. Make no mistake though, being a referee is hard. I've done it a few times and it's so difficult. Until you are in that position you don't appreciate it, that game moves around you so quickly and you need to constantly be alert. Still, for £1000 a week (assuming you take in a top flight and lower league game) that's fantastic money and they should be competent. Na I fully agree it would be far harder than it looks from our nice elevated view in the stands. I'm normally one of the last people to criticise a ref unless they fully deserve it unlike a lot of Sons fans. Also agree they already earn plenty and for the money they get they should at least be able to get the basics right. In their defence they rarely get praised for having a good game but absolutely berated for minor errors. Whilst the majority of ref performances I witnessed last season were well below par there were a few that deserved more praise than they got. Still doesn't warrant them receiving more than they already do mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasps1 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Shocking what refs get paid hope they are paying the tax on all fees Two games a week 1500 per week great for a second job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden til i die Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I've heard they don't pay any tax at all. Scandalous. They also get free public transport and 20% off at boots. Scum, subhuman scum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 There is huge discrepancy between the Premiership and other divisions which various factors... including merger of SPL & SFL, relegation or ascendance of "big" clubs into Championship, and so on... has exposed. If they're looking to address that I'd agree with the argument. If they want the total overall fees to go up then I wouldn't. What you can't do is bring standards into it, they're the best refs we've got and in comparative terms they're good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Beaton made some other horrendous decisions aswell. Including giving Celtic a free kick when Anderson won a header by putting him hands on his own team mates shoulders. We seemingly got denied a stonewall penalty aswell, when Mackay cut inside and got dragged down, but I've not seen any decent view of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 That penalty was far from being stonewall. There was a few dodgy ones after that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just going by the reaction on the match thread, where people seem to be suggesting it was. I sit too far down the stand to see that area of the pitch clearly, so Id need to see it again to decide myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, there was contact but he was looking for it. Van Dijk admitted in the post-match interview he'd made contact, think he thought he was lucky not to have given a penalty away tbf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 The standard of refereeing in this country has been in decline, season upon season upon season. Just because cash-strapped Hearts, a woeful Hibs team and some kind of Rangers tribute act have rocked up in the division, they think they are entitled to some kind of pay rise? They can GTF.

Van Dijk admitted in the post-match interview he'd made contact, think he thought he was lucky not to have given a penalty away tbf I thought the Mackay's foot was dragged back enough to bring him down. He had Van Dijk beaten and he made a clumsy tackle. He WAS lucky and the assistant should have seen it, and made an error in not making the call.
