[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1090404, member: 59968"] Premiership refs are poor on the whole. I can’t stand Carley … Dickson makes lots of poor calls. Carley does the same but also does it with an attitude. They both frustrate players (which I can totally understand from the players’ POV), but I think Carley goes out of his way to be a smart arse as well and seems to enjoy riling people up. Dickson lacks competence, but isn’t an arse about it. The biggest disappointment with Dickson is that he hasn’t translated his experience as a player over to his refereeing. It’s really not that long ago he was a player, so you’d have thought he’d have more a feel for the game and make better calls as a result. As it happens, he’s often worse than the referees who never played to a particularly high level. I know a big part of our game is respect for referees, but to some degree at least that needs to be earned. These two regularly make howlers which make it difficult for the players to respect them.
