I love all this ref bashing - it quite amuses me !! I have reffed a couple of social games and can state that it is a bloody nightmare even at that level.
Consider how many decisions a ref has to make during a game - 500 - 600 tackles a game - each tackles requires the ref to review a number of technical issues - tackle complete / infringement in the tackle / player regains feet / plays ball with foot / markers square / defence onside. That's 6 areas to review x 600 = 3600 decisions. Then you add in the regular refereeing decisions during the passing / kicking phases - all of this going in whilst the players are now operating and top speed and pushing the rules to the limit.
Let's say 4000 decisions per game !! Child made 2 errors (knock on - which he probably didn't see) and the tackle count - a success factor of 99.95%
