Germain quits Macarthur due to standard of refereeing

@Muz @NicCarBel are ref standards in Australia even bad? Reckon i've seen worse standards in a lot of euro leagues. I'm sure the big 5 are better

Since the introduction of VAR, refereeing standards world wide , have dropped considerably.

same thing happened in cricket. Couldn't believe how accurate umpires would be at distinguishing nicks off the bats v other parts of the body
 
I'm sorry but this is hilarious. Did he try and buy the refs or something? Standard Macarthur that would have been.

I think they're fine. The people moaning about subjective decisions are nuts.

You get some, you don't get others.

I could talk about this for hours but I won't.

I honestly don't understand how these people can enjoy a football match when they're always looking for fault.

Try this exercise, not you grazor specifically, to improve your enjoyment of watching football 1000%.

Say to yourself 'I can see why he might have given that, even if I don't agree with it'.

Just goes back to my general niggling thing I use for game management - if I'm told a decision of mine is a joke, or something along those lines within the first ten minutes, I make sure if that player does something and fails (usually a shot that goes out for a throw in), I make sure I let them know about good and bad decisions at the next stoppage.

The ref standards in Australia are only bad, if you support a club. Apparently.

The only sport I can recall that had a marked improvement on refereeing standards in my lifetime has been tennis when Jon McEnroe kept going ballistics at the chair umpiring. In reality VAR was meant to improve the refereeing standards but I think that the technology remains to immature for it.
But what has really hurt the game has been the directive to allow play to continue so where in seasons past a foul would be called they no longer are which has led to greater inconsistency by the referees.

I can't imagine him going to Japan. That's like someone dressed as the devil walking into a church. They won't stand for that attitude in Japan for long.
