That'd be a great idea, especially given the connections of some of our prominent ref's. Even under the current system it would be a start if they said/ published when a ref was being demoted/ suspended - there's zero transparency.
As fans, we're perfectly entitled to give out about crap performances of players or refs. Ref's get all defensive, but you don't hear as much "you should sign up to be a goalkeeper" when a goalie fecks up and given out about. Shows the mentality of the people that become ref's that they are so ultra defensive and don't accept any criticism.
It's the utterly bizarre decisons that drive me nuts, rather than necessarily contentious decisions - I remember a ref setting the wall and then pacing back the yards to place the bloody ball, rather than placing the ball at the offence and the setting the distance for the wall. Afaik he is now one of the inspectors!
