Who'd be a linesman?

Re: Who'd be a linesman?

Who'd have thought there'd be thugs involved on football. Whatever next?

Yeah i had noticed a little more rolling around trying to get people yellow cards creeping into Rugby. Shame and I hope they get a grip on it.

I can't believe the stick refs get either - I know they don't help themselves sometimes but even pundits are constantly questioning decisions by the refs and that then flows down to grass route level.

Shocking indeed.

It's shocking. And I doubt that very much will be done about it.

Who'd be a ref?

I have a friend who referees under 16 games and he's lost count of the times that he's been threatened and assaulted by players and their parents.

The FA does...well...sweet FA about it.

What's worse (to me) is that that sort of attitude is creeping into Rugby.

I see some 15/16 year olds kicked the linesman to death at a game the other day.. probably only doing the team a favour as it was his sons team.
