The standard this season maybe more than ever before has been disgraceful. I'm absolutely sick of sh@t refs and linesmen/women. We're not seeing any consistency or fairness. It's as though they have it in their minds that Rotherham are a physical side which is the polite term for a bunch of thugs and cloggers, so they're not taking any sh@t from Rotherham, and if there's any pulling and shoving on our players, we'll they're big thugs, they can take it.

The stall was set out on the first game of the season at Wimbledon, that fat walrus of a ref rarely left the centre circle. I dread to think how bad the standard is further down the pyramid these days.

We had it last season in the Championship where nearly all refs seemed to favour the bigger clubs, probably as a glowing report from say Aston Villa is worth more to them than a bad report from RUFC.

But then I think 'who would be a ref these days'? Why would anyone want to do it? They're under more public scrutiny than ever before, they get never ending abuse from the stands. Still no excuse for not doing the job to a high standard though. The rules probably don't help. Common sense has been replaced by a more uniform, robotic appliance of 'the laws of the game'.

We used to laugh and joke about foreign refs and how bad they were compared to our own, now ours are the laughing stock. Maybe we should start importing match officials from overseas
