The FA are far too protective of their referees, which goes back to the days when they were volunteers.
It's a professional position now, and they should be treated as such.

What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
We've had some awful refs this year (not necessarily Arsenal specific). But there have also been a couple of good ones.
That young(ish) lad Michael Oliver is one of the best I've seen in a long while.
Lee Mason is comfortably the worst, but is given a good run for his money by the old boys; Dowd, Twattenberg, Foy and Fucking Mike Deane.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
They're all cunts, mind.

Sir Chris Hoy
Awful ref.

DJ Campbell arrested on suspicion of spot fixing.
Football fixing claims: Alan Shearer calls for zero tolerance
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25314176Former England international Alan Shearer says there needs to be a zero tolerance policy to anyone found guilty of fixing in football matches.
Six people were arrested on Sunday over fixing allegations in the sport and have been bailed until April.
Shearer, known for his superior insight, and intelligent analysis said:
"You are never going to stop betting but you have to stop the people inside," Shearer told BBC Radio 5 live, in a statement of astounding intellect.
"It just cannot happen. If anyone is found guilty then there should be zero tolerance. And by zero, I mean none."

i can think of 3 people who clearly need investigating for match fixing.
Anthony Taylor for our 3-1 loss to villa
Phil Dowd for the 4-4 at newcastle (there was actually a story afterwards that he was investigated for match fixing)
Mike Reily for that loss at old trafford in 2004.
Allegedly.
