Have you "ever"? As a Referee

Suspended for Common sense Refereeing !!
Here's a point of interest if your thinking about taking up Refereeing.
Does anyone know a Hobby you can have, where you provide all your own equipment, pay for all your Examinations to pursue the Hobby, then pay Annually again to to continue? I'll tell you
Football Referee
Not only this but you are NOT Employed by your local County F.A. but you earn revenue for them almost every time you go out to Referee.
On top of this they, The County F.A. have the power to SUSPEND you from your Hobby. The Hobby that you sent many many pounds on taking up. There are course fees, registration fees not to mention your "KIT" which doesn't come cheap. NO The County F.A. DO NOT supply anything.
Myself I am on the receiving end of a suspension by BCFA, for wearing the wrong colour shirt. This suspension motivated me to create www.soccerreferee.co.uk to allow me to have my say. As BCFA have told me that I have to attend a Referees Commission to explain my actions. However I have already told BCFA in E-mail's why I took the action I did. BCFA in its wisdom have told me that "certain points raised" in these E-mail's will not be mentioned at such a Commission. So is there really any point in attending?
Please feel free to comment. I will just remind you that this is not the place to Slag Referee's. Thanks.

Why did I write a Blog?
Sour grapes or biter I can hear you saying, well hell yes. I am guessing that Football Referee is one of the few hobbies where you can be suspended for using common sence?
There will be more about me later, this post ist just to setup the blog and links. Please feel free to have your say too. THOUGH if you just wish to abuse Referee's this isnt the place to do it.
