Refs looking for Pay Rise

[Mister Ed]

without referees there would be no football going on so lets be thankful we have them available good or bad ones, its the taking part that counts and enjoyment it brings:p the guy in the middle just tries to call it fairly give them a break, if anything they deserve awards for the abuse they put up with, i read somewhere someone posted some clubs cant afford to pay fees, are you suggesting smaller fees for "smaller clubs" and bigger fees for clubs who CHARGE to watch games wich is a disgrace altogether

There are 2 FAI assessors, Paddy Collins and Tony Ryan.

Referees are rewarded for performances, they do Premier and 1A matches.

Some referees never get to referee this level

2 assesors for over 30 games going on at junior level and god knows how many schoolboy and youth games,seems pointless.

grade 1 refs qualify by time spent in the society as much as standard so to be fair saying they never get to this level is inaccurate.

more assesors are needed and a grading system that doesn't just reward refs but over time can be used to pull refs from junior matches,some of these guys are obviously not capable of dealing with commited players and agitated sidelines.

What happened with the strike anyway? We had to travel to Shannon yesterday even though we were told by the opposition that the pitch was off on Saturday when did that rule change that the home team cant call the match off? the players could have had a lie on or a night out on Saturday its crazy. I think this is to make sure a referee gets some money every week is this right?
