When I watch Refcam, I respect referees more. The instantaneous nature of those decisions can be pressuring. They must be smart people too. The good ones. In this Refcam I’m watching, Sam Barrott who officiated the Spurs vs Aston Villa game has called Richarlison ‘Richy’, Rogers ‘Morgan’ and Gallagher ’Conor’. That shows that he’s warmed up to them. He told De Zerbi “good to see you” probably because he’s been away from the league. He told Leon Bailey the same because he’s not been around too. He was recalled from Roma in January. Chris Kavanagh in Everton vs Liverpool. He calls a foul and Tarkowski keeps nagging. He asked him “are you going to take the whistle when you retire or what?”😂😂😂 He told Salah, “Pleasure Mo” and Salah responds, “if I don’t see you again, it’s a pleasure”. Paul Tierney — Arsenal vs Bournemouth. When he called the penalty, he told the Bournemouth player, “I know it’s a short distance but your hand and arm are really high”. James Hill had his foot on the 18-box before Gyokeres’, he shouted “stay out ‘Hilly’, Hilly stay out”. Take note of ‘Hilly’. It’s friendly and almost interpersonal. Those clips give a different feel of what it is to be in their position.
