[QUOTE="racingmetrofan, post: 571407, member: 51232"] er, yeah, but the 1000s of volunteer refs give up their weekends to ref thousands of volunteer rugby players :rolleyes: This is the point that I made in an earlier post, the professional game is not the amateur game! If you ref academy rugby on your Sunday mornings for the fun of it you are entitled to respect, I entirely agree with that. In contrast when you are reffing the Aviva premiership final, you don't get any 'respect', you just have an onus not to ruin the game and make the right calls as close to 100% of the time as possible. The two ideas aren't incompatible. [/QUOTE]
