[QUOTE="RedDevil_UK, post: 178217, member: 184030"] heres my two peneth.. NO referee's are not worse now that ever before.. in the 60s if a ref made a bad decision between West Ham and Newcastle.... the only people talking about it was the fans that went! now there is dozens of cameras at EVERY game, they miss nothing.... and when a bad decision is made, Radio, TV and internet websites show pictures, and explain all about it. look at it from the refs point of view, imagine doing your job and 15 cameras and several microphones from every angle covered your every move. then the tape was played back to all your collegues and bosses.... every day. eventually you will make a mistake, and they all watch replays from several angles and discuss how useless you are. can you imagine....nighmare!! Thats the superb job the refs do.... and they dont get paid nearly enough. as for more refs etc etc we see the offenders for cheating, diving and causing injury now.... through video (usually SKY)... your not telling me the head guys at the FA and FIFA dont get a look the same way. oh yes they do see, the same as you and me. but they choose to do nothing! we dont need 11 refs..... we need an FA to help the refs at the start of this i said in the 60s, but it wasnt as noticeable in the 70s or 80s either (match of the day only covered a few games) its got worse with the introduction of Sky sports. now dont get me wrong, i dont hate sky sports, they have brought football to another level but that much scrutiny from so many cameras, its not suprising we see a few mistakes.
