Referees receive a lot of criticism but who would want to do the job.
Watching Swansea v Spurs Alan Smith commentating says that Jordan Ayew should dive after “contact” From Lloris and make the referee make a decision.
Souness then tops that by saying that Swansea should be surrounding and berating the referee for giving the Spurs goal (it was offside) and that it’s “part and parcel of the game” to put the officials under pressure.
Referees get criticised, but if that the mindset of ex (and I’m assuming) current players then what chance have they got?
And those sort of comments don’t help referees up and down the country reffing games on a weekend for kids or Sunday leagues.
