This is the body that is supposed to monitor and assess the performances of match officials.
Their effectiveness is debatable when it's assumed from first principles that match officials are impartial but prone to error. They're only human after all.
Monitoring patterns of controversial decisions by individual officials, although maybe the good subject of a thesis, is probably not going to change much.
Incompetent referees will always be about. Occasionally they're replaced, "retired" or demoted to lower leagues.
Saints have been on the wrong end of some woeful decisions but I don't believe that we're alone in that.
Just hope Clankindraws, D'Urso, Foy, Webb, Dowd, Friend or Atkinson don't turn up at St Mary's anytime soon. - view external link
