PGMO the people who train & maintain the professional referees squad for the BPL are extending to the championship next season with a squad of 12 permanent and 6 part time referees.
Based on what I've seen I can't see it making much difference!

The ones we have had from the premier league havent stood out so what is to say these will be any different and better.

If yesterdays referee was an example of how good being full time will make them let them revert back to their day jobs and do this part time.

Who would want to be a referee! It's got to be the hardest job in football. You are expected to be correct 100% of the time or you are rubbish. You finish each game with at least one set of supporters hating you, because their team has been abysmal on the day.

I think you have to have a masochistic streak about you to be a ref!

Not got to get 100% decisions correct just the majority not as yesterday hardly any. He wasnt helped by having a very poor assistant who ran the line near the west side. and got even less right than the ref even simple things like throw ins yet alone difficult ones like offside.

God knows why we got a ref from Northumberland when there could have been one locally who would have been just as INEPT

Not blaming the ref in any way for our dreadful display but either he was shit or I have a shit understanding of the current rules.

Blatant pushes in the back right in front of the officials are now OK?

Booking players for diving when they have no option after the tackle but to go to ground.

Kicking the ball away when the opposition have a free kick is now OK? There was one instance where three Brentford players did it one after the other for the same free kick.

We seem to pick up so many silly bookings and yet other teams get away with quite cynical stuff week in week out

I think there were even some tackles from behind that weren't penalised, has this rule changed again?
