Good show, and very sad to hear about the abuse he recieves and that which the refs receive. Very much makes you think - espicaially as I've become a qualified ref!!!

You blind w*nker.

Foooooorrrrwarrrddddd!

GERRUMONSAAAARDREF!!!

Seriously it is a thankless task and one that I wouldn't want to do.

I can't imagine doing my job, week in, week out and getting that kind of vitriolic abuse.
Just think - the highest praise that you get is the lowest volume of boos that you receive when you leave the factory floor/office on your lunch break and at "home time".

The best thing that anyone will ever say about you is "blimey, he must have been good today as I hardly noticed him".

And whilst you see your work colleagues "dropping the ball" and having a bad day it is you that will get the blame as you leave the building.

The cherry on the cake of course is that some customers will wait for you in the car park to hurl abuse at you - some of them will even find out where you live and taunt you at your home.







Dream job.

I can-I work on the railways.

Thought you'd be used to abuse after spending so much time on the Widnes forum Rich

A mate of mine reckoned that all referees are sexual deviants.

After all, who else would walk into the middle of a field, surrounded by 10,000 people, all wanting to f**k him?

Well, you did, and we've heard all about your "friend" and his bathing arrangements...

?

You could take it up with the friend in question if you like, he too is a HKR fan, used to be a diver and one of the strongest blokes I've ever known
