the problem is not with the funding but the lack of interest to become soccer referees. It is hard for the league to come down on the refs when they know there is a shortage. The 3-ref system is definitely the way to go but unfortunatly we are a ways away from having one.
Tuesday's game was a great example of why this system should be put in place but until the interest picks up, we have to work with what we have.
For the most part, refs do a great job getting up and down the field for more than one game but when time and stress sets in, the problems occur.
