We Love Referees

Zephyr Rovers Manager Steve Hall said today that the controversy surrounded the standards of refereeing in the English Premier league did not apply to the Wellington Indoor Football League. "It's well known we love the referees and we're talking to them all the time to try and help them with their skills" said Hall "I know I never miss the chance to give them some encouragement and I know Chopper likes to have a word or two as well". Hall said the standard of refereeing was improving and he was hoping a new softer approach to the referees by the team would pay dividends. "We want to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative" confessed Hall "so we're hoping we can achieve this by the referees giving more calls in our favour and ignoring any opposition nonsense". Hall said he wasn't in favour of introducing linesmen to indoor football as "the referees get in the way enough already without having another two officials on the floor".
