Subject: Phil Gould's Latest Rant

I refer to the comment's made by Phil Gould during last Sunday's Game that referee's "bring it on themselves" by virtue of the fact that a rule was adhered to that Mr Gould felt should have been overlooked.

I am sure Mr Gould would have thought differently if he was the coach of the team involved.

But I would ask Mr Gould, did the referee who got assaulted in Canberra for applying the rules "bring it on himself"?.

Did the 14yo first year referee reduced to tears by a seasoned coach "bring it on himself"?

Obviously, Mr Gould has little thought for the Game and little respect for referees.

While ignorant comments like this are allowed by someone on the game's official broadcaster, without recourse, referees are going to struggle to regain the position of respect they once held.

Over to you Mr Gallop.
