The amount of games played per season now and in the 70s is incomparable

Mate I am currently a ref in very bottom of the pyramide and there were only 1-2 games where I was not sworn at either by the players or actual managing staff. Stuff like “you’re a fcking joke”, “you have no clue what you are doing” or “you don’t even deserve to be here”. Cards fly all the time because idiots are everywhere. I cannot say I make no mistakes. But I 100% can say I try to do my best even under constant pressure. Unfortunately there is a really small number of players/coaches that really understand the toughness of ref’s job.
