I think we will need some strong/brave reffing. I believe Catalan will be very robust ... should we say.

I'm with you SAM and he doesn't strike me as a 'celebrity ref' type who thinks that the game is all about him.

I reckon everyone ought to have a go at reffing ... especially Eddie Hemmings. There would be a bit more sympathy & understanding. It's quite a job. They need all the help they can get.

I'm thinking Under 5's level might be a bit of a test for Eddie.

Sorry wasn't thinking straight. No doubt we'd have some "controversy".

I’ve refereed school matches, even that is not easy.
