Where is the referee accountability
Where I'm from, no one gets paid except for the refs! I'm not saying they shouldn't get paid, but there is no recourse for discrepancies or occurrences that cause issues throughout games.

2)They can earn more money at Coles or Maccas, Ref's get paid low compared to other part time jobs and these jobs don't involve being abused at work.
Didn't realise shop assistants were on more than $30 per hour CASH! Not bad for your average social league in the country!

Within a few years time,there will be no referees left.
Those coaches who abuse referees,one day will be given the whistle to see if they can do a better job.
The numbers have declined nowadays ,many solo games will happen.

You haven't given us information ,which stadium.
It's happening all over SA with standard of refereeing,nowadays referees are being abused ,they are not perfect,coaches expect too much ,that's why junior referees are not interested in refereeing these days,a few years ago my son got abused by Forestville ,UIC not on duty that night,he resigned as he had no support/backup etc,he's at McDonald's ,why better pay no abuse comes home happy.he hasn't been near a stadium for 3 years.
Victorian referees are better trained why because the are referee coaches who go to stadiums on district games,have the passion to work with referees etc,here Gibson and co only work in an office,have no time to go out and help referees.Love those Vic referees.Come State champs in June I'm not surprised to see majority of Victorian referees.From my eyes few good mototivated referees from Adelaide.

When there's a shortage of referees, accountability takes the back seat.
Making poor (subjective) judgement calls in a game will always happen, and shouldn't be lingered on by players and coaches.
However, when referees just don't give two shits, or are blatantly incorrect about the rules (interpretation guise FTW): this is when accountability issues really set in.

That is untrue. As a Referee myself, we do get held accountable for our actions on court, especially if a complaint (or more than one) comes in against you.
I know of a Ref who was suspended because of his actions on a game.
We do get held acdountable, its just not for public eyes.
