They don’t want the scrutiny because it would force them to do the job right. You even heard on the Diaz goal audio, people throwing around compliments and patting each other on the back. Both on and off the field.

They want a laugh with their mates and get away with saying whatever they want. I wouldn’t be against paying refs more and stopping shit like trips to Dubai to ref games but they need to step up massively in professionalism too. It wasn’t that long ago we had refs overweight and unfit to keep up with play still doing the job at the highest level.
