antrin Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Well… I never did say that he was unpopular and thus wrong. From an outsider’s POV, seeing the game on a box, Callum appears to never ever try to have a relationship with the players, communicate and let them know what he will tolerate and what not. He seems to feel that his sole purpose is to know the rules and interpret that if and when he sees indiscretions. When I played, referees would talk to both teams, before and during matches, so that they knew what he might tolerate and what not. he is a self imposed lonely man out there. no great disrespect intended, but you obviously never played enough (I did. Stopped when I was 46, so I know what discipline and control real referees CAN achieve). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( I had to fkin fix the auto-incorrect for the one in this post.) I often make a typo. Or two. I spotted that after I’d posted but could do nothing, as one of the wankers now polluting this place caused the edit function to be removed.

shull Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Incidentally, if you're quick, you will find an EDIT CAPABILITY within the three dots at the top of your post. Maybe ten minutes is allowed to correct a Post. Sorry again, Sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
