Not being a twitterer or a facebooker I can only go by what I have been told and it appears to me that there are a lot of silly comments out there.

Come on lads, doesn't matter who the ref is it's up to us to do the business.
Win or lose it won't be the officials who decide.

Correct.

It's not that Stokes is anti-Fax or biased in any way. He is just totally incompetent and turns every game into a lottery. It means that the result will hinge on bad decisions and controversial calls instead of skillful Rugby League.

I think most of 'em know this before they take up the whistle, spend some cash on boots & kit & just for the record, in my experience they are very special people to coin a phrase. They love it.....

I agree they are special people, but I think without the abuse there would be more people willing to give it a go.
In under 10s rugby young refs are getting abuse from the players the coaches and more sadly the parents.
Step forward a couple of Leeds teams and ******** Moor playing from a Town that the ******** Rams play from.
