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

It gets bigger every time you go over. In China, there was Yao Ming stuff everywhere. I'm just fortunate to have a good-looking face to where they recognize me.
Shaquille O'Neal
Image
Everyone who watches me play knows I am an honest player. play the game as honestly as I can. If the referee gives a penalty there is nothing you can do.
Wayne Rooney
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
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

Once the referee throws the ball in the air, it's either your ball or their ball and you have to just take your shot.
LL Cool J

On how to make the game more exciting - Eliminate the referees, raise the basket four feet, double the size of the basketball, limit the height of the players to 5 feet 9 inches, bring back the centre jump, allow taxi drivers in for free and allow the players to carry guns.

Damn referees, I'll miss them less than anybody.
Abe Lemons

Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms.

If you take a needle and stick her in the booty and take a needle and stick me in the booty, we're both going to say ouch.
Shaquille O'Neal
Image
You guys make the rules up, so a foul is a foul. It doesn't matter if a guy is bigger and stronger. It's not my fault I ate my Frosted Flakes when I was little, and you ate Wheaties.
Shaquille O'Neal

I never comment on referees and I'm not going to break the habit of a lifetime for that prat.
Ron Atkinson

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
It's a game of integrity. There's no referees out there. We all respect each other.
Jordan Spieth
Image
About strip clubs and athletes. The best way I can explain why a lot of players end up there is because it's one of the safest places a high-profile person can spend time in a boring city.
Shaquille O'Neal
Image
There's two kinds of dirty - dirty and sewer-dirty. Danny Ferry is sewer-dirty and has been ever since he was at Duke.
Shaquille O'Neal

I don't have any ideas my coaches have them. I just pass the ideas on and referee the arguments.
Bear Bryant
Image
I know that this is sport first and business second, and people have to do what's right for them.
Shaquille O'Neal
Image
The referee told me this league has never had a brawl of that magnitude, said Mr. Penderwick after a long, painful silence. Of course, at the time I was pretending to be a casual passerby and not a father at all.
Jeanne Birdsall
Image
The referee was only five or seven yards away from that incident.
Peter Drury
Image
Most of us are referees at heart we like to call throws and errors on someone else.
John Kessel
Image
A difficult decision for the referee's assistant. I wouldn't beat him up over it.
Kenny Cunningham
Image
I wanted to have a career in sports when I was young, but I had to give up the idea. I'm only six feet tall, so I couldn't play basketball. I'm only 190 pounds, so I couldn't play football, and I have 20/20 vision, so I couldn't be a referee.
Jay Leno
Image
I was really upset. I felt like they tried to limit me, whoever 'they' may be. So I just said to myself third quarter I'm going to come out and do what I do.
