    Senior and Intercounty - numbers are small so probably hard to work.

    Linesmen - yes, shur that's obvious, as I have stated twice already.

    Interpetation - 2 refs is too many? You suggested letting them all have a meeting to decide on fouls/sanctions !?!! :confused:
    Each ref looks after his own half of the field.... Simple.
    The hardest things to see are the incidents that happen 80 yards from a ref after a long clearance, if theres one ref in each half, he would never be that far away
    2 refs is too many. You dont need to add a second ref when you can give your other officials who will be there anyway more powers.
    It isnt simply one person reffing a match. It's a team of officials so why wouldnt you use all resources available to get the best decision.

    You dont need a second ref to help make decisions from far away. Use the bloody umpires and linesmen.

    you only need 1 ref? 2 is too many?
    But give the other 6 more powers ??? Who would you/players trust ? A 2nd ref in their half of the pitch blowing for a free, or an umpire calling a free ?

    An umpire, is not a referee, and never will be.

    the problem isnt with the referee it's what the rest of his officials can do. You already have enough people there as match officials why add another person.
    The umpire and linesmen are match officials as much as any the referee and any other appointed official. Give them more powers and you have far better management of a game
    If you have 2 refs. They will differentiate in how they ref certain issues in the game. That causes issues in games and frustration for players
