Warrenpoint Town boss Barry Gray says managers and supporters need to be “very careful” that referees don’t turn their back on the Irish League.
A number of high-profile bosses have recently slammed the standard of officiating while NIFL has also introduced a pilot scheme for managers to provide feedback on referees’ performances.
Gray is all for improving standards but fears the heightened scrutiny and ongoing flak will see officials either strike or walk away from the game.
