If he doesn't respect me he should at least respect the position (of match referee), but he made matters worse for himself with his dismissive and rude attitude.

the world's best referee.

The assistant referee was in a better position and saw it was a clear handball. But the referee told him to put his flag down. A decision like that could cost us the title.

I warned the guys that this would be a physical match and the referee let it get out of hand. I issued our players a challenge to match up with (the Argonauts) physically.

It is now my top priority to learn the fundamentals of being a match referee and I can't wait until my first appointment.

That's what we teach. If somebody comes back, we have to respond and at least match what they've got.
