It might not surprise anyone to know that I had a number of run ins with officials over the years, and I would say 95% of those were down to the attitude of the ref when a question was asked or a decision debated. The usual response was don’t you know who I am, or I shall report you to my society, rather than having a discussion.
I remember one incident in a club game, where a local referee, initials GG , was so poor at refereeing the scrum that multiple fights occurred, and all he could do was stand 20 meters away blowing his whistle. As it was a friendly he ended the game early and when questioned why, he got on his high horse and reported the whole thing to his society, rather than entering a reasonable discussion.
This ref despite numerous poor performances over the season, others words not mine, he was given the county cup final.

Re: Geordie up before the beak...
Referees are criticised just about every second of the game by supporters from either side. It's ever been thus. Ditto by media pundits. There are well established post match protocols for clubs / coaches in the professional game to comment on a referees performance. So there are lots of channels in the professional game for refs to face criticism / receive feedback. They are not immune.
It's weird how it tends to be losing teams who find it necessary to criticise the performance of the referee. Maybe, just maybe, they - the coaches - should just work a bit harder at becoming more competent themselves at coaching.

Re: Geordie up before the beak...
A lot should depend on the circumstances:
If Geordie put a clear, logical, and convincing complaint to the official(s) in the right setting i.e away from supporters and cameras and was as polite as he was passionate - in my opinion, that's perfectly acceptable.
If he verbally abused them in front of the world and his dog - that's naughty and he deserves all he gets!

Not the same one as the ref who has appeared in premiership games, just share a name.
Traveller seems to take every possible opening to have a dig, would love to know his qualifications to do so other than Mr. Troll.
If you win a match you will not criticise the officials, at least not openly, but I guarantee over a pint afterwards they do
Re: Geordie up before the beak...
Following the seasons poor results, might the BOD use this accusation against Smurf to move him on or over, it would help to save their faces?

Re: Geordie up before the beak...
No excuses for Murphs. He was wrong, and must have known repercussions would follow. It wont have done his "Mr. Nice Guy" image any favours, and I doubt the BOD will be very impressed. It could mean a ban at the start of next season.
