Ref's at State Champs

May i point out that the Victorian referees were the best of Vic's state and the majority of ones here in Adelaide were still all learning and not nearly as experienced as the Victorian referees.

I agree with Outsider, as we barely have enough referees to put two on a game at every stadium. We have lost most of our older and younger referees to those "know it all" coaches and spectators that have driven them away with the constant shit we have to put up with.

I am a coach, a referee and a player and there is a much better way to approach a referee than screaming from the sideline "FOUL/TRAVEL/3 SECONDS" and then getting all hyped up when the ref gives you an answer you don't agree with,then, when you continue ranting has decided you have gone too far and gives you a tech foul.

What I love is when you have two young referees put on a game and you get coaches screaming and yelling at us non-stop every time we call or not call something.
How we are EXPECTED to learn and advance when we are meant to be like superman/woman and see everything at once, young refs WILL make mistakes, send your team manager for the UIC, that is who we will learn from, take a step back and let us learn!!!!!!

How many coaches/spectators have even picked up a rule book especially the latest one with changes to "3 seconds, charge, cross back and hand checking?"

Coaches-coach your players to play to the referees whistle.
Spectators-cheer and encourage your team, do not bag the other team OR the Ref.

I have yet to see a game, District, Social or National where a referee has changed their decision based on the whining/screaming from the coaches bench or sideline.

Get over it, move on

That is my whinge thank you for listening.
