Foreign Refs For ISL
After an initial initiative from the breakaway Liga Primer Indonesia comes news that the Indonesia Super League are considering foreign refs for the second half of the season.
Under the plans not all games would be officiated by foreign refs but selected taking into account the attendance, any previous between the teams, clubs' position in the table and TV coverage.
Might I suggest new criteria?
- Home teams who have benefited from an inordinately large number of late winners or goals or penalties.
- Home teams with near perfect records who can't get anything when they play away from home.
- Middling games with nothing at stake not being shown on TV.
- Persiwa home games.
In the article the PSSI are claiming Singapore have offered to send 10 refs. Won't that leave them a little short?!
