Bit harsh on Scotland.
No no that's right.
Just don't mention anything about his ilk being tight with money though ...

I wouldn't. I would want 5x that to cover loss of earnings and 'risk' that being in a less secure contract involves.
I've already told myself I'm not interested in going beyond L3 as being a 2b involves so much more travel and time that doesn't work with my job. If I had to give up that job, it'd need to be worthwhile.
To the point being made by others, this is the reason why more pay means better referees in the long term, as it attracts and retains talent that otherwise would go elsewhere.
How do we measure an increase in standard? .....
Endless television replays .....
Well Scotland had refs at World Cup 82, 86 withdraw off own back days before, 90, 94, 98 and 02,
Since the wages rocketed, none.
It is not scientific and of course, could well be opposite elsewhere. And it proves nothing. But its a loose indicator and here, ballooning the pay does not (seem) to have increased quality (according to those who want the best of the best for their jamboree)

You're right that it's not scientific. Because without knowing what has happened to referee wages in the countries whose referees have replaced Scottish ones it's completely meaningless. If they paid more than Scotland did then it's a good argument for more pay.
But I suspect it has more to do with Scottish football being a bit rubbish and other countries getting better.
Not quite. You are only taxed at 40 % on earnings over 45000 (might be slightly higher.) And 20% on earnings over personal allowance (11500?). You only lose your personal allowance at about 120k a year (again roughly).Don't forget tax. 80k becomes 40k.
Ok I wont post any more on this, other than maybe I am not as greedy. Or motivated by money.

Disagree. IMO hlaf the select group are struggling at EPL now and don't belong there. And they are supposed to be the best of the current crop. Where are they going to bring more from?I think that instead of rising the wages of the existing select group referees they should expand the number of select group referees.
