Referees are only human, I think.
Phil Kearns
Image
Referees need help. Players are getting faster and fitter and too many referees are making decisions from behind the play. They see a tangle of legs, they are asked to make a decision with one, often obscured look at high speed.
Andy Townsend
Image
Profit by your own mistakes and profit by the mistakes of others. The referees were calling ball handling violations like they were getting commissions.
John Kessel
Image
Coaches will do what they can but it doesn't necessarily bother me. You are an international referee for a reason. If things like that are going to ruffle your feathers, don't bother doing the job.
Alan Lewis
Image
You have to become involved to make an impact. No one is impressed with the won/loss record of the referee.
John Noble Holcomb
Image
That's referee Mike Reed's 50th booking of the season, which works out at an average of six a game.
Alan Parry
Image
I want to congratulate again Mike Dean. I think his performance was unbelievable and I think when referees have unbelievable performances, I think it's fair that as managers we give them praise. So fantastic performance.
Jose Mourinho
Image
The pace of the game demanded a referee who was fit. It is an indictment of our game. You see referees abroad who are as fit as butcher's dogs. We have some who are fit. He wasn't fit.
Alex Ferguson
Image
The pressure for conformity is enormous. I have experienced it in editors’ rejection of submitted papers, based on venomous criticism of anonymous referees. The replacement of impartial reviewing by censorship will be the death of science.
Julian Schwinger
Image
This fight should be dubbed, 'No Excuses.' If Carl Froch beats me, there won't be any excuses. I beat Carl Froch, there shouldn't be any excuses. No judges, no referees, no nothing. May the best man win.
Andre Ward
Image
I just get on with my game and let the referees do their job.
Lionel Messi
Image
If UEFA will not embrace video technology, then we need two more officials behind the goals to help the referee.
Andy Townsend
Image
Fifteen referees. I want fifteen referees to be at this fight because there ain't no one man who can keep up with the pace I'm gonna set except me. There's not a man alive who can whup me. I'm too fast. I'm too smart. I'm too pretty. I should be a postage stamp. That's the only way I'll ever get licked.
Muhammad Ali
Image
In my old neighborhood, a boy stopped playing when he began to lose his pulse. And then he became the referee.
Bill Cosby
Image
There's nothing better than a good, blind referee.
Bobby Heenan
Image
I never comment on referees and I'm not going to break the habit of a lifetime for that prat.
Ron Atkinson
Image
I always liken it to being a referee - if you notice the referee, that's not a good thing.
Chris Harrison
Image
We knew that the referee [in primary debates] is on the side of the Democrats because the referee, whoever the referee is, is a Democrat first and a so-called journalist second. I mean, we know that Lester Holt did not challenge Hillary [Clinton].
Rush Limbaugh
Image
The referee will now keep track of the time on the field and the shootouts have finally been banned.
Cobi Jones
Image
I'm not in favor of that [mandating protective headgear ] because we learn as amateurs how to protect ourselves. And that's why there's a third man in the ring, the referee. And that's why there has to be a very strong boxing commission that doesn't allow guys in the ring who don't belong there.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Image
Soccer is a game for 22 people that run around, play the ball, and one referee who makes a slew of mistakes, and in the end Germany always wins.
Gary Lineker
Image
My wife runs the house much better than I could so I think she could be a linesman or a referee or even a football manager and that's the truth.
Ian Holloway
Image
What American people and what the markets want is a fair and level playing-field, where the rules are clearly elucidated, where the referees are competent, and where we know that the game is not rigged.
James Chanos
Image
Johnny Walker, the American that fought for the Taliban, is now talking with an Arabic accent. Have you heard him? It's ridiculous. I know how we should handle him. Let's bring him back here and take him to Cleveland Browns stadium and dress him up as a referee. They'll know how to take care of him!
