The officials continue to ruin the game so I see no reason why they should get any respect from fans at the moment. It would give the wrong impression anyway - that they are doing a decent job. In fact they are getting wrong an increasing number of straightforward decisions. It is not easy to be a referee, it really is a tough job, probably too tough for one person, but it can be done a great deal better than this lot are doing it. Players and coaches do tend to come out and hold their hands up when they've had a bad game - referees do not. Any also, why do FANS have to respect the officials? Players do, sure. It's part of their job but fans are not bound by such restrictions.
Keep it clean and remember it's a family game, but no need to go overboard on fans respecting officials. It's part of the theatre that they do not!
