Hi Dan - thanks for the ‘constructive’ feedback.
We look forward to you joining the next referee course and taking on the role yourself as you clearly think it’s very easy.
Or perhaps we just don’t send any referee to your games? See how things go then?

In light of the predicted heat this weekend, your Saturday games can kick-off at any time you feel suitable.
We have no issues with these being moved but it MUST be by mutual agreement between both teams & the referee.
