Blame the ref..

[footballfan]

Blaming the ref or slagging them off, vilifying them, personally insulting them is not big and it is not clever

Football in the whole is shooting itself in the foot

There could be potentially thousands of fantastic referees out there who have not even blown a whistle yet.....

Ex players who do not fancy coaching or management..

Football lovers in general who would like to participate..

Young people who love football but not quite got the ability to much their passion may wish to make a career of it.

There are many potential opportunities to improve the standard of refereeing and attract outstanding competent individuals who would make a real difference

BUT why the hell would somebody want to even consider the job when the abuse and blame culture is arguably worse than any other role in our society

Football is arguably unique in its disrespect of officials in sport. Other main sports in our country such as Cricket, Rugby, and Boxing manage to attract ex players and some of the finest individuals available to officiate games..

You do not have to be a rocket Scientist or Brain Surgeon to work out why football cannot do the same
