A referee can only officiate whats in front of them, All this rubbish about he had a bad game etc etc is in my view subjective, Every referee at whatever level will make a mistake, Kevin Friend in last nights game a perfect example, having been a top class referee for many years it is vitally important that he gets the game changing decisions correct and this is invariably where he is criticised. Players and managers have a major part to play in this yet they take no responsibility for there players saying the referee got it wrong. The FA also need to understand the game more and think of the supporters who all want to see the 25 yard goal and the be disappointed because a players arm is in front of the last defender or his foot is in a similar position, The award of a penalty for handball when it is kicked straight at him from 3 yards etc was crazy, thankfully this as been changed but never the less should not have been made a law, I am not advocating all referees are great because I have some which a very poor which is not helped by the fast tracking of some which results in them officiating in games which they are not up too.
