It won't be a problem finding refs for Mega League games at the Liverpool Enormo Dome (they'll be well paid) but lower down who will want the aggravation.

Ultimately it's both the teams and organising bodies who have to eradicate these ridiculous scenes. Referees in the Premier League are some of the best in the world but they are continually mistreated and abused, and that goes right down to Sunday league level. If the FA/FIFA cannot clamp down on the problems, then there will be a true refereeing crisis and even the top officals will say, "That's enough". 20 years ago, referees received far more respect, but that has disintegrated, and the worst abusers are Chelsea; Terry, Cole, etc. Excellent piece on F365: http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,13320_2926799,00.html And one more here: http://www.footballingworld.com/2007/11/25/chelsea-must-be-punished-as-their-unrelenting-harassment-of-referees-continues/ Excellent post.

It should be a bookable offence for anyone other than the captian to even talk to the ref and it must be up to FIFA to make that happen.
