Talk:Gavin Ward (referee)/@comment-86.154.219.23-20120202103117

Gavin is probably a decent bloke, but his performance in the Leicester City vs Middlesboro' match recently was truly unacceptable. All referees will make mistakes, just like the rest of us, but continued incompetence is just intolerable. Does anyoe genuinelt evaluate referees, with a view to determining their continued exposure to such high level matches ? Why are those evaluations not made public ? So many other professions are held to public account and have benefitted from such accountability. Why not referees ? If the standard is worthy of 'respect', why not share those evaluations ?
