    No no no

    Sorry, but this is a professional manager, well paid, having a go at a referee.

    Yes we all know refs aren't the best, but they are generally, honest.

    The match squad that managers put out are, mostly, cheats who try their best to get free kicks / penalties / other players carded etc.

    They try to con the referees at every opportunity.

    Well the players are professionals, full time, as is the manager. Do they never make mistakes ?

    Looking at the dross in this years third division, are they that much better than the semi-pros in the National League ?

    So. making refs full-time pros, would that make them so much better ?

    Look at yourself Ferguson

    I agree.

    If you want to see cheating at its “best” then replay tonight’s Chelsea game. A strong ref but it’s a pity Chelsea went through eventually.

    What a paltry amount. That wouldn't even get us a centre forward

    It is because the football authorities want this story to die. They don't want a debate on how bad refs really are. The game is awash with money but we still have part time refs.

    Understandable really seeing that it was true what he said apart from the shooting

    Premiership refs get a baseline salary of £38000 plus £1170 per game. Championship to league 2 (no sliding scale) are freelance refs and get £415 per game. So if they ref 46 games per season they earn £19000+.
    A linesman gets £205 and 4th official £130
