A supporters view on the ref.

TO BE REMEMBERED AT ALL TIMES PLEASE.

THE FOOTBALL REFEREE
THE MAN IN BLACK ALWAYS SEEMS TO TAKE THE FLAK.
WOULD YOU DO IT, AND TAKE THE CRAP
FOR FIFTEEN POUNDS FOR A GAME
TO BE SHOUTED AT AND THE PAIN
BUT ITS NOT THE MONEY
AND IT'S NOT ALWAYS FUNNY
PLEASE RESPECT THE GUY.

A FRIEND OF MINE TRIED TO BOOK A REFEREE AND AFTER THE 40TH CALL GAVE UP. SPOKE TO THE LEAGUE AND WAS TOLD GET A PARENT; THEY HAVE THE SAME POWERS AS YOU AND ME.
THERE ARE 120 MATCHES NEEDING A REFEREE IN THE AND ONLY 40 REFS. WHY IS THAT?
A GOOD CHANCE IS THAT SOMEONE HAS GIVEN THE POOR OLD REF LOADS OF ABUSE AND THEY MUST FEEL “DO I NEED THIS”.
YOU DON'T SEE IT IN OTHER SPORTS, DO YOU
JUST THINK ON TO THE MAN IN BLACK BEFORE YOU GIVE HIM CRAP.
WITHOUT HIM YOU HAVE NO GAME
WITHOUT A GAME THERE ISN'T A TEAM
WITHOUT A TEAM WHERE WOULD YOU BE
ONE THING FOR SURE IS IF PARENTS, MANAGERS, COACHES AND PLAYERS CONTINUE TO HASSLE THE REF, WHERE WOULD WE ALL BE WITHOUT FOOTBALL.

THIS MESSAGE IS SENT OUT TO EVERYONE AND ALL THAT FOLLOW FOOTBALL. PUT MORE TRUST IN THE REFEREE. WHAT YOU SEE, HE MAY NOT SEE BUT JUST LET HIM CONTROL THE GAME AS EVERYONE SEES A DIFFERENT GAME EVEN YOU AND ME. GIVE THE POOR OLD REF A CLAP, EVEN IF YOU HAVE GIVEN HIM CRAP
