We do tend to notice more when we lose, and I'm not blaming the officials for our team losing to Wycombe although their goal had more than a hint of offside, but these new generation refs are making the likes of Trevor Kettle, Graham Poll, Andy D'Urso etc look competent.
Is it collect 10 crisp packets to become a referee these days or what?
