Three of the remaining nine full-time referees are 25 years old or under, there is definitely a youthful look to the new intake.
There has been a huge number of referees lost to the game in the last few years. Phil Bentham, Richard Silverwood, Tim Roby Joe Cobb, Chris Campbell, George Stokes, Matt Thomason, Thierry Alibert, and tragically the late Chris Leatherbarrow, are all no longer officiating for one reason or another and there maye be others I have forgotten. We don't know what's gpoing to happen with Ben Thaler either.
In general I think we all need to try and be more supportive of referees, it's a thankless job and we don't have a game without them.'"
Yep thankless job.
Personally I try and keep a lid on my frustrations when the game is going on with mixed results.
During the Dewsbury game there were a few calls from the ref that got the rev counter moving into the amber but were far outweighed from our own discipline especially on the last tackle that got nearer to red.
Discipline has been a problem for Fax for a long time now whoever the officials are so the negative penalty count can’t just be down to them.

For me I think yelling at the ref during the game is part of the atmosphere and as long as it's not abusive I think most refs would accept it.
I can't be doing with people creating conspiracy theories after the game is over or saying the ref was bent though, to me that's like going to a pantomime and then giving the "villain" grief in the car park afterwards.
There are a fair number of Fev fans who think we get the rough end of the stick from refs but when we brought former ref Dave Merrick in last year to advise our players about offences etc our penalty count went down drastically.

Absolutely, but 20 years old is pushing it a bit.

Exactly and it’s amazing how they are only villains when our team loses.
Bringing a former ref in for advice, now there is a thought, everyone would think about adding to the coaching staff even for temporary advice but not many would think about looking to a ref to do the same, most just have an after the game or later in the week one off chat with that department to air their grievances.
Definitely a candidate for suggestion of the season.
Are you listening Fax.
I wonder what happened to Ben “Calm Down Calm Down” Thaler recently?
One of the better ones imho.

Never mind Simon GFB The Phantom has provided the solution for Fax to get a ref in.
Even if they don’t or it doesn’t work you can go on Total Fev and grass him up for aiding and abetting the enemy Oxyboy.

Oh don't worry, I wouldn't have given useful info to a team I considered to be our rivals

An added bonus is if, after getting a ref in for advice and it doesn’t work we can blame not just 1 ref but 2 refs at the same time.
Twitter for me today as late getting back.
Come on Fax, simply can’t face another loss so soon or the inevitable fallout from it.

| Match day twitter ramblings.
Penalty against Fax on the Eagles first set 2nd minute, Eagles try on the back of it 3rd minute.
Instantly followed by another penalty 4th minute.
Eagles penalty 17th minute, Eagles try 18th minute.
Just getting the cat from the neighbours garden, at least I think that’s where it landed.
Fax try 24th minute, just being brought back myself from the neighbours garden by Tom in revenge, he’s a bloody big cat.
Fax try 30th minute.
10 - 10 half time. Tom’s gone for the moment chased off by a dirty great German shepherd who was having a dump in the neighbours garden, I wouldn’t mind so much but after he’d finished his dog had one as well, just disgusting.
Fax try 54th minute, hold your breath time.
Eagles try 64th minute. Breathe out.
Fax try 69th minute. 16 - 18 Breathe in.
Eagles try 76th minute. 20 - 18 Can’t breathe.
Game over. 20 - 18. Stop breathing we’re dead.

| Even the clubs official twitter feed says discipline needs addressing.....
Generally you give penalties away in RL if struggling to get a foothold in the game....
