Message: [QUOTE="azza.79, post: 2860627, member: 7684"] I couldn't agree more about the respect issue, players do not respect the refs one bit these days because they know what they can get away with most of the time. One thing I think adds to this is the familiarity between refs and players, I hate hearing the refs call players by their name, as far as I see it they should refer to the player by the number on their jersey and as you say the only player to talk to the ref should be the skipper at an appropriate break in play. They need to get the respect back and that starts with what most of you have already mentioned and actually refereeing the game by the laws of the game, not "managing" the game as it seems they are. They could start with getting a few of the basics of the game right: - play the ball on the mark. - onside. - kick for touch on the mark. - correct play the ball. - behind the kicker at kick off. - goal line drop out from behind the goal line, not - penalise blockers on the kick chase.
