I do not think that this would be fair to the referees. However, I can tell you who in my opinion are excellent and deserve to be better paid.I think the only way to solve this is for @Soccer Coach to post Campo's VMSL Referee Rankings
(Michel Pie, Allan Rush, Kevin D'Oliva, "Bojan' or "Bojan", Ruben, and another young referee who is tall and wears glasses).
Those guys referee very well and in my opinion, we do get a bargain as they should earn at least $125 per game for their work.
I also like Kevin Uppal, and I think that he is good. I just wish that he would not get so aggressive with the players and the coaches. In my opinion, you can control the game without too much of a dictatorship approach.
I also think that Miro and Nick have done a good job.
Assistant referees are really hit and miss. Some do a great job and other, man, really missing basic offsides, fouls, and even ghost goals.
I really would be happy that we pay the guys above more money and they are not forced to run from field to field to each game.
Believe it or not there is even a good referee in Divions 3, who is very old . He rarely runs and leaves the centre circle but the way he deals with players and coaches is good. he has people's skill and he makes fine calls from far.
Guys, I understand that it is a difficult job. Players deserve better service and these people deserve better payment.
Just doing it for the love of the game does not cut it.
