Just going to get in here before the usual jokes and comments come flying in. No matter how bad their decisions or performance is, no officials deserve to be assaulted for it. Unless you're Gary Willard.
Don't think there's owt to laugh about there. this is one of the reasons why we get such sh*te reffing at lg1..Radio did a stint about this incident today and a guy from the Ref's association said he asked 21 trainee refs if they were intending to progress to league football..21 no's....this is why the standards so poor...totally agree there should be no threat to the officials.
