As the battle for points continues this week-end, referees must take each game as a decider and professionalism should play a major role when exercising their duties.

Players should be protected at all costs. The red and yellow cards in their pockets are there to control the proceedings of the game.

We've seen too many serious injuries in this second round of the TNM Super League and we cannot afford to lose more players from physical and highly emotional contact due to negligence of referees.

Football has reached a crucial point: others are fighting against relegation while others are fighting for championship, so any mistake by the refs will be grave.

We don't want more games ending prematurely because of officiation.

Let's also support our officiating team, starting with officials of clubs.

Don't forget that referees are human beings subject to errors. Don't tamper with their judgement in the field of play; they are in-charge of everything.
