With the amount of money in Football they should get former Pro's to take up reffing, obviously you won't get former prem players as they don't need it but former players from the second division or conference would make good refs as they have played the game and no what goes on.

Rugby refs usually make such good refs as they have usually played the game.

Football refs have never kicked a ball straight in their lives and were the type of person last picked for teams at school.
