Fitness of Match officials

[spike220]

There were some real fatties out running the lines today, should we be surprised they could not keep up with play???

Are there any fitness standards for these guys?

If so are they strict enough?

They position themselves poorly in anticipation that they can’t keep up with play and that is just not good enough.

The Assistant is a Fifer.

He's been officiating in the top division for 2 years now but I always had my doubts about him.

Really poor from him.

The failure to recognise that the ball had crossed the line had nothing to do with a lack of physical fitness and everything to do with a lack of competence.
