A spell in the lower leagues, plus some additional training, and further assessments would work for me. If it keeps happening after that, then it's a different story. A bit like real jobs.

Nonsense he should be off the referees list altogether, the laws of football and interpretation of them are the same in the Premier league or Sunday league. If it was like real jobs the incompetent and unsuitable would be out on their backsides and replacements identified, football is no different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was like real jobs the incompetent and unsuitable would be out on their backsides and replacements identified, football is no different If we did that, we'd have none left. And where are the replacements coming from? Recruiting a new hire and waiting for them to complete the multi-year process to qualify for the Premiership? Or do you think that the refs in the lower leagues are already good enough? I'd much rather train up the existing referees to be competent than promote ones that are less competent to the top league and keep my fingers crossed it goes OK. In practical terms, if refs thought they were going to get the sack if they made a poor decision, you know they would just start relying more heavily on VAR and looking at replays even more often. The refs have been poor for a number of years - replacing them with even less experienced refs (who have gone through the same training as the existing ones, remember) would make things worse.
