Ipswich have landed an East Anglian referee, Kevin Wright, supposedly from Cambridgeshire, but really from Cromwell's county of Huntingdonshire where he is the fitness training coordinator for referees.
The campaign for respect for referees provoked a lot of debate on 606 on Saturday evening. Some said respect should come with the uniform, others that it should be earnt. There is a real problem in getting referees at the lower levels, although some of the best referees there that I have seen have been women.
'Inept' and 'shambolic' are some of the descriptions of Mr Wright to be found on the internet. A typical one is here:

Of course it's very easy to blame your team's failings on the officials. But Mr Wright does seem to attract more than the usual level of complaints. He does seem to have special vision, as he see things that no one else has noticed and misses things that everyone else has seen.
Enjoy the game.
