I have noticed that abuse of the ref is creeping into our game more and more ie fielden on Friday and calderwood last night. is it about time the rl started to clamp down on this behaviour and handed out lengthy bans before it gets out of control like it is in puffball where the players act like spoilt brats whinging and sulking at every decision.Refs make mistakes take it on the chin and get on whit the game

Especially with the Borderline decisions now in Vogue, some of them behave Like a Virgin referee. Perhaps they should take a Holiday until they Get into the Groove?

Giving abuse to the ref is wrong, but the game is full of emotion and ref's need to be stronger, its too easy to put players on report and go to the big screen than give a decision.
How many times have you seen a player get a late shot or even punched blatantly (i.e Fielden / Mason), ref claimed he hasn't seen anything, touch judge does "im the ref i'll put it on report". Far too much gets dealt with after the incident ref's should get a pair and deal with it on the pitch. If Thaler was that upset about what Fielden's said he should have dealt with it on the night not hide behind that fat twit Cummings and a panel of nobobies, nearly a week later.

what a load of bull, the ref's in superleague are absolutley disgusting, It's no suprise the players are starting to get sick of it, because I feel like lobbing a brick at the fuc_kin cun_ts

Well said, are you justin morgan??

If the referee's are so bad, and the players can see it, can't we have some sort of system like in Tennis with the hawkeye just with the video ref, and the captain can question the obvious wrong decisions.

Other than that the touch-judges need to be cited more, I hate watching them be bloody ignored.
