The number 1 issue to be addressed is not only the performance of the referees but the philosophy as to how games should be refereed. The game should be free flowing with as little interference from the officials as possible. Hard fair tackles should be encouraged not vilified. Players who deliberately stop play from being free flowing (by eg standing in front of the ball preventing a quick free kick or snidely kicking the ball away to prevent quick free kicks) should be immediately booked. At present nothing happens, not even a warning. Penalty kicks should be awarded for handball but only if deliberate. The penalty awarded to Sydney v Wellington was a farce. Spectators and tv viewers want all action games with as little interference as possible. How a game is refereed determines how the game is played. We need to sort this out asap because people will not pay good money for what is being dished up at the moment much of which is influenced by referees who think they know the rules but most certainly don’t understand the game.
The A-League's fan-base could use an attitude adjustment
