when I referee I always do the best I can and interpret the laws of the game correctly and appropriately. Sometimes this means I apply sanctions using both my yellow and red cards when required
I always send in any discipline and match cards on time and correctly
However, I had heard players say "why can't you be more like x or more like Y?".
Now I know both x and y, they are ex players who know everyone and try and be friendly with everyone only using cards for the most serious offence although they rarely report to the league or county
I'm looking to go for promotion so will continue to do the right thing. X and Y have no interest in promotion and would rather remain popular with players
I guess I'm only whinging as these refs obviously get good club marks as they have often been appointed to important matches i.e. Cup semi finals/finals
They have been refereeing the same length of time as me
Maybe I should me more like X and Y
