Good point. A bit more respect would go a long way. So many problems we have are down to that simple fact.
People bang on about how refereeing is at an all time low. Fact is, before Sky started analysing every decision to within an inch of its life, we actually had no idea about the standard of refereeing in general. Who knows how many goals should have been given offside or disallowed goals should have stood? Even in tournaments like the World Cup where all the games were televised, I don’t recall any great debates about decisions, unless they were extraordinarily ones like when Clive Thomas blew for full time about 0.01 of a second before the ball crossed the line. It just seemed to be accepted that the referee won’t get everything right but let’s just crack on and talk about the game, not borderline decisions.
