There's no doubt refereeing the modern football match is difficult with all the cheating and diving that goes on, but it does bug me that refs don't really answer to anyone. They can have the worst game ever, ruin a game or turn a game on its head, and the following week they can do it all again without sanction.
Take Lee Mason at Stoke yesterday. Missed the most blatant penalty you will ever see then sent a Southampton player off for an accidental clash of heads. Does he have to come out and face the cameras like a manager? Does he fook.
We have the biggest and most watched league in the world, yet we still have clowns officiating the matches. Madness.
