At one time all refs had to retire compulsory at 48. Now seems no age. As for Probert, he was a long way from being the worst, certainly better IMO than the one we have officiating this Saturday.

No problem with Probert, he just got on with it.

He should now lead an independent team of retired or re-employed referees to run VAR.

Too many of the current lot seem reluctant to show up their mates
