There's nothing better than a good, blind referee.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You don't notice the referee during the game unless he makes a bad call.
The objective of a referee is not to get mentioned. I tell a lot of young referees that not being mentioned is king. If you can achieve that, that then it has been a pretty good game.
The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.
The referee is going to be the most important person in the ring tonight besides the fighters.
From my own point of view, I hope everybody would realise that people who work in Scottish football - referees included - are always under terrific scrutiny.
I think making the referee aware of a situation, there is nothing wrong with that.
I hate divers, like Cristiano Ronaldo, who might be the greatest athlete in the sport, but he's a big baby. If things are going well he's great, but when things are going badly it's the ref's fault, it's his teammates' fault.
Coaches will do what they can but it doesn't necessarily bother me. You are an international referee for a reason. If things like that are going to ruffle your feathers, don't bother doing the job.
Damn referees, I'll miss them less than anybody.
You can't applaud a referee.
