if you asked my Uncle then he would say he is the definition of a good referee haha!
I think
@drahc is defining an excellent referee!
for me a good referee is someone that:
1. Turns up to fixtures in plenty of time
2. looks smart regardless if he is in suit and tie or tracksuit with kit underneath ready
3. has good administrative skills
4. has a great knowledge of the LOTG
5. but can also apply them in a 'situation by situation' method - there isn't always a black and white approach
6. has a passion for what he does
7. doesn't 'reckon' himself i.e. he acknowledges that he can be wrong in situations and is willing, at the end of matches, to listen to points of view
8. can take constructive criticism
9. is an all round top bloke!
