Ian darke on man utd v wolves game just said

[BIG MAL]

3 week on x 1 week off working 12 hour shifts is the normal in the mining game here.... done it for years.
No wonder I'm fucked now.

 

[The Hesford Diet]

Apart from some people missing the point, deliberately or otherwise, and the wrong commentator being called out, this has gone well.

 

[CollingwoodFTM]

people shouldnt go to the gym 6 times in three weeks??

I’ve not been to the gym 6 times in 6 decades.

 

[PeteFTM]

Read somewhere that referees run between 6-8 miles in the top games.

That’s his point. Running 6-8 miles with sprints included, every 3 days is a lot on your legs.

 

[Bugsy]

I’m outraged but not sure what about

 

[Jonesy57]

6 games in 19 days. I've worked 19 ten hour shifts on the belt and they never even mentioned me.

That's so very unreasonable - what a bunch of twats.

No it’s not.

I do 3 x 8 mile runs a week, I’m also a postman and walk about 10 miles a day - don’t feel a thing in my legs.

18 twelve hours for me and I’m not done yet.

 

[BALDINI]

No it’s not.

Are you Oscar Pistorius?

 

[Tommosafc]

Paul Dempsey sounds similar to Ian darke like

Ian Darke was given the night off as he’s commented on 6 games since Boxing Day and he’s knackered!

 

[PeteFTM]

No it’s not.

I do 3 x 8 mile runs a week, I’m also a postman and walk about 10 miles a day - don’t feel a thing in my legs.

Do you do sprints in there as well, keeping up with the world’s top athletes?

 

[Black Cat Gypsy]

I heard he got double time as well.

 

[Lo Ursem]

No it’s not.

I do 3 x 8 mile runs a week, I’m also a postman and walk about 10 miles a day - don’t feel a thing in my legs.

Correct. Guys I knew years ago would hold down a full time manual job and run between 6 and 10 mile every day

How much are Premier League referees paid? | Goal.com US

Goal investigates and what salary is on offer to Premier League referees as well as officials in the Champions League and Europe's top leagues.

Comparatively it's not great is it. Considering some footballers can earn 40k a day

 

[cooky]

No it’s not.

It's almost as if refereeing in the premier league might be marginally more intense than your runs after work...

 

[What A Waster]

Classic case of people getting wound up because they have a normal job and earn less money for it.

 

[Jasper]

Yes because the only part of a referee's job is the 90 minutes he's actually reffing the game.

When I was marathon training sprints at the track were squeezed in between on a Wednesday.
My point is that 6-8 mile of mostly gentle jogging with occasional short sprints thrown in and quite a bit of walking every 3 days is absolutely bugger all physical-wise for someone to do as a job, especially when they’ve had years to train for it and a lot of rest in between.

I completely disagree, I personally think referees have a very physically intense job that not any average joe could do. Very easy to judge from the sofa, bit different if you were put on a pitch and had to keep up with the likes of Mane and Salah for 6-8 miles.
