I don't think it's so much that the refereeing is poor as it is inconsistent. The teams in the Illawarra League could live with it if decisions were consistent accross all games, week in week out - at least that way everyone would know how to "play the game". On the whole though, the refs have a tough job to do, and some unruly crowd behavour doesn't help the plot. What most spectators don't take into consideration is that these guys get abused week in week out - the kids watching the games see this - how are we expected to get more refs into the game when all they see is the refs getting abused every week - would you want that every week?? We sould give the refs a bit of a break, but the refs have to come to the party by copping some constructive criticism through the right channels as well.
