The fact that an arsehole like Oliver can be put in charge of top level matches must stem from the fact that no bugger wants to be a referee. That goes all the way down to local league and junior football. I wonder why that is? They might start refereeing from afar soon. Decisions given via the big screen. Remote reffing...

That twat in on telly now. What will he do to get noticed? He'll miss an obvious arm round neck in the penalty area. Miss or deliberately ignore to go along with the narrative of keeping more fashionable teams in the premier league. I love conspiracy

One of the things I've noticed about top level (incl. the EFL) referees is that I can't think that I've ever seen a ref with obviously visible tattoos.
I'm not saying it's good or bad to have them, but in an era where they are common & a big statement that younger people often make, you'd sort of think at least the odd one would be 'inked up'. They are, roughly speaking, of the same generation as many players, & you're hard-pressed to find a footballer that isn't covered in them. Indeed, if you take any random selection of people aged between (say) 25 & 40, you'd bet good money that a decent percentage of them will have visible tattoos.
Probably just goes to prove that, to a man, they are Colonel Blimpesque rule-followers who sole joy in life is in laying down the law.

That goes all the way down to local league and junior football. I wonder why that is? Because who wants to get so much abuse, even physical, from spectators? I don’t like Oliver, but in general there’s little or no respect for refs, Police, teachers or anyone in authority these days from a very large chunk of people in this country. In some other countries it’s worse and refs have even been killed. That’s why fewer people want the hassle of being a ref.

They could call it RESPECT.

I think Mark Clattenburg had to wear long sleeves to cover his tattoos up. He was the only one I know about & it’s a very small tattoo. I work as a teacher & don’t have to cover mine, so no idea why a ref would have to other than they display something controversial or a football team. But most don’t appear to have any which statistically speaking is odd.

They could call it RESPECT. Schools do try and do this but the problem in nearly every case is parents. If you've ever seen some of the parents that go into a school reception you would be able to see exactly why some young people behave as they do. Sadly, they then grow up into the same, disrespectful adults and the cycle continues.

Maybe they just don't want to look silly in later life when their skin starts to wrinkle and the tats fade ! Probably have a different lifestyle to footballers? Some of them could be fitter though I feel ! It was handball and should have been ruled out (maybe just as well though given it was at Millwall!) but he seemed to be easily influenced by the Everton players to go and have a chat. Same as with the Cardiff players in that penalty incident against you the other week. They need to be stronger I feel and actually go with their own view.

Like I said I’m not arguing whether they are good things or bad things. Just that, as a group across senior football, they are statistically at odds with peers of their own age. Which just intrigues me a bit as to what it says about their personality type.

Depends how you badge it but the tattoo ‘thing’ for coating your arms was around 10 years or so ago. That’s kind of why I said look at the 25-40 age group & see how many have tattoos. Its just one of those things I started to notice & wonder about really. If it’s not statistically likely that none of them have one, & they aren’t banned, then it probably does point to a personality type that ends up becoming a ref. Anyhow, it’s just an observation!

Which just intrigues me a bit as to what it says about their personality type. Because they mum won't let them probably. Why do so many shave their hair off? Is it to emulate Collina or do they think it makes them look a bit harder?
Back in the day the standard referee hairstyle was a traditional comb over, which suited the rather schoolmaster type aloof attitude they had back then. They probably wore loose corduroys and a tweed sports jacket with elbow patches off duty. Now they want to be one of the lads, laughing and joking, calling them Harry or Raheem behind the hand. Tattoos however, are a still a step too far from the comfort zone of these types.
