Refs should be interviewed and given a lot more media exposure. Once people realise they are just humans who make mistakes, the level of respect goes up. Put a microphone on them as they do in rugby and I'm sure they would receive half the abuse once you hear their side.

[@lukemclellan2141]

Probably get a lot less abuse from the players too.

Luke McLellan that’s actually changed a lot I remember the top four. United fan me. In the early to mid 2000s Chelsea United Arsenal some of players of other teams would crowd the ref. I remember perluigi collina to nobody bothered him the baldy Italian ref . Best ref of all time. 👍

@@samuraisoul1043 because he didn't stand for it. I've often wondered whether a lot of the refs are/were simply too in awe of the players and don't have the bottle to tell them where to go.

Hi lads. I am a referee and this episode was brought to my attention a few weeks back..having never listened to the Pod before, prior to this episode I've gone all the way back to 2018 and I can say categorically that That Peter Crouch Podcast has improved my quality of life. Keep it up boys. Best wishes W

[@davokelly7876]

Really loving this podcast Crouchy is such a genuinely nice bloak and great sense of humour and the two lads with him seem to be the same as him good chemistry between them...its great to get the perspective of referees we forget they're human sometimes and expect them to get it right all the time..good show lads keep it up👍

Dunno why mike Dean gets hate. Seems like a lovely bloke!

[@robertlonsdale7031]

This is ace, I’ve never really liked Dean growing up as a youngster. Seems like a down to earth bloke, guess supporters just view these guys as referees and not people.

When the podcast title is asking if a referee is 'the greatest showman' there is a problem. A referee should be one of the least noticable thing in a game of football, yet he seems to strive on being what is remembered about one. That's not his role.
