A-League boss Greg ORourke has dismissed the cries of frustrated coaches, claiming the standard of refereeing is the best the competition has seen and that a handful of mistakes have been magnified amid pressure to win in a tight table.ORourke said hes set up meetings to re-set the expectations of managers, whose relationship with officials is at boiling point after all four fixtures over the weekend were marred by crucial calls made by the whistleblowers.But he denied pressure was mounting on FFAs director of referees Ben Wilson, whom he says believes this seasons officiating is as good as in the last five years apart from a couple of decisions.His (Wilsons) view is that theres some things we need to work through to get out of the human element of the game, some things were all looking forward to just before the finals series which is technology to assist some of this refereeing, ORourke said.But all in all, we believe the standard of refereeing is the best weve had in the A-League and well continue to improve it.Unlikely to agree is Central Coast coach Paul Okon, the latest of a string of coaches to speak out against the standard of officiating on Sunday.Four managers have now earned FFAs ire for outbursts less than a third of the way through the season, with Adelaide coach Guillermo Amors one-game touchline ban on Monday following Kenny Lowes two-match ban, Kevin Muscats fine and Tony Popovics citing.ORourke claimed the storm didnt reflect the actual statistics, which before last weekends controversies showed 11 errors in key match decisions from the opening 30 games - an improvement on the preceding four seasons.He said those errors included not red-carding Western Sydneys Brendon Santalab for his scything round-two tackle on Adelaides James Holland, David Carneys round-five handball goal for Sydney FC, some incorrect offside decisions against Wellington and a missed penalty for the Wanderers following Jason Gerias round-six foul on Jumpei Kusukami.Clearly weve made a few mistakes, but the thing Ive noticed is the amount of reporting and amplifying of the mistakes were making, ORourke said.I think a large part of this - and Im not condoning anybodys behaviour - is that the coaches believe they have the right to win every game and that every team is beatable.And theres a lot of pressure on the coaches, which I understand, to get decisions and move north on the table.I think its feeding on itself a little bit as well, which is not good.The best thing to do, is rather than play this out publicly, is just go and re-set the expectations with each coach about what we would expect.FFAs long-term plan is to increase the number of professional referees from the three existing, Jarred Gillett, Shaun Evans and Chris Beath.
