The Ref = Sympathizer

The Ref seemingly cannot go one minute without posting about the mistreatment of refs. Here is what i have to say on the topic: get over it. While the ref does get an ungodly amount of unfair and cruel criticism all over the world, I feel that endlessly supporting them is neither helpful nor constructive. In fact the whole debate over which calls are right and which are wrong, and what player did what and what the referee saw etc ad nauseum...solely serves to distract us from the real point. With the game as fast-paced as it is, and with certain players (not excluding Arsenal lads) bent on diving, girl-slapping and other theatrics, the modern football match needs more referee presence on the field. It is all well and good to say that Graham Poll was right or Howard Webb could not see the action. The linesmen are not there to carefully observe fouls and other goings-on and should not be expected to do so. The conflict will end when there are two head referees on the field. Full stop. No more Mourinho/Ferguson whining. No more Arsene Wenger blindness and existential philosophy. No more Jordan love-dogging to every under fire manager. 2 refs, 1 field, better game full stop.
