Thanks for this insight. Back in the day, I ran the line in the Unibond League. The top referees stand out.

I remember lining for Uriah Rennie. His instructions were so quick, I didn't take them in. Also Jeff Winter, a nice enough guy, but he was star of the show at Macclesfield v Chorley in the FA Cup, and that was just fine for him.

Another Football League referee, whose name I can't remember, was an absolutely awful person. We were at Leek Town, and he was on first name terms with their female official. I flagged for a throw in. He didn't spot the flag, so I kept it in the air until he had seen it. Some 30 seconds later he spotted my flag and shouted at me to put it down. One of the teams nearly scored.

He totally glossed over the incident when I asked him about it at half time. After the game, instead of staying with his two linemen for refreshments, he took himself off to chat up the female official again. I sure hope he was assessed that day, but I doubt he was.

Was assistant for Jeff Winter in a pre season game. Shildon V Whitby. He said to see the Shildon secretary for my pay as he would be getting paid by Whitby. When they arrived they brought his a cool box full of Whitby kippers. Bizarre

Not in football as far as I know, they have teams of officials so the ref and assistants know each other. They do in rugby union, but they call out foul play there so it's more reffy.

That's brilliant - I suppose for preseason when money's tight, it's less of a problem and presumably open knowledge.

Yer, women were unfit to do factory work in the war.

80 years later, it seems nothing has changed for some fcukin fossils.

nope, the refs ref and the linos line

The reason I thought that was in one tourament a liner made a mistake and the so-called 'experts' said he was not used to the liners' perspective because his day job was actually reffing.
Don't know what made me believe the pundits.;)

Quite sure Massey has come through the leagues and faced far worse than a cuddle of Sergio , as usual the incident has been blown out of all proportion because of the shirt he wears.
