“We’ve played a lot of matches that has been calm but once a while a small issue comes up which is debatable. We have process one goes through when they have issues with referees’ performances one can complain to”

“A lot of money is being pumped into refereeing. In the past, referees used to complain about salary arrears but this year that has been a thing of the past. Some referees want us to pay them immediately after they are done with a game. Some of them they want us to accumulate their salary. So we often talk to them, they are referees belonging to the FA so we train them with refresher courses, provided gadgets for them to communicate with during the match” he said.
