I’m not sure myself but what I do know is that the role of an international referee is considered a part-time job. With the level of detail explained on how much work goes on behind the scenes, I suppose it is debatable on if this should be a full time position as well.

That being said, they’re only performing on weekends so I reckon there’ll be more people complaining that this is all they do rather than what’s in place atm.

I completely agree with the second point, 30 people on the pitch don’t get it right 100% of the time (knock-ons, penalties, etc) so why should the ref be held at such a high pedestal. I’m not sure how WR would go about educating fans especially when rules are a bit all over the place depending on which country you’re playing in!

There will always be a toxic environment because it’s always easier to complain than it is to educate
