What can be done when a referee is just TOO bad


Recommended Posts

Us (enforced) TV viewers were given regular long-lens views of the man in the box last night.
He looked a very lonely figure. In need of a friend or assistant.
A co-pilot at least to take over the controls once it was beyond him.

A serious note.
On the (fortunately) rare occasions when a Speedway fatality occurs the referee is called upon as signficant witness at the inquest.
On Saturday the referee judged that Robert Lambert was the cause of Jason Doyle crashing.
I have yet to hear anyone concur with that opinion. It is rare to have such a unanimous view against a decision.

But it would be his word that the Coroner would hear if the worst had happened, in that race or any other.

We should remember that having a competent referee is not just desirable for a good race meeting; it is an absolute necessity.
