We attract the best players and managers from around the world but don’t do the same for refs. Then we wonder why the officiating is much worse than the quality of players and coaches. The quality of the playing would be way worse without foreigners and quality of refereeing would improve with foreigners.
Agree or disagree?
They get paid relative peanuts (given the amount of money that’s in football), why would someone uproot their lives for 40k a year and abuse?
It isn’t that the quality of refs is inherently worse here, I think our processes and procedures are shit. It’s embarrassing hearing the VAR refs talk to each other. It’s too casual. Compare it to cricket, there’s a process that they follow. When you do the same thing over and over again, you get better at it.
