Almost every football manager, player and commentator (let alone fan) has never refereed a single game. So inevitably most know little about it and show their ignorance regularly. For young players at least this could be changed without any real cost.
On a similar theme, today's I paper contrasted the Bundesliga (many coaches under 40, 2 at present who never played professionally) with EPL, where most locals are ex pros often over 50. And where high-profile simpletons like Terry are able to claim without challenge that's it's unfair on his mates and should be fast-tracked for them. If you must, buy a training school, hire some Germans and learn their language
