The Ref Stop

game management

Have never spoken pre match and given advice to captain ever
If they cant regualte or moderate their own team without my intervention thats their problem!
 
The Ref Stop
Don’t promise to do anything, when you don’t do it they’ve got you on the back foot! Keep it friendly and open ended! Simple refereeing
 
A respected ref here tells story of how a high profile captain and ex national team captain used to always say in the tunnel, " xxxxxxx, if you have any problems with my team mates speak to me"
to which our learned colleague replied "and if I have a problem with u Mr XXXXX, to whom should I speak"

that will do for me
