While the reffing wasn't great, I would like you guys to go out there and try to do it. I would actually like to see any of you actually know the rule book enough to try it. Reffing a football game is not exactly the easiest thing to do.

I do and have.
You are making a mistake to assume that everyone holds the refs personally accountable as if they are dumb human beings.
They do a bad job, but it's fault lies in that there really isn't a comparable product they can train themselves at (CIAU is far below professional) and the CFL doesn't invest is a great training program.
And lastly, and maybe most important is that Football Canada and Football Alberta (not sure about other jurisdictions) have had serious trouble in recruiting refs. They should be targetting the smart kids who are done ball on an informal basis but best I can tell they have been quite passive as it relates to recruiting.
