[QUOTE="Howard150, post: 4679632, member: 30002"] Whilst there is a great deal of validation in your post Harry, I still do not concur with the ‘easier to garden’ rather than the ‘sort your plough out’ faction. There is simply a void in the higher echelons which by and large has never been populated by the right people - an exclusive clique if you like. Whilst those in this neat little clique are not opposed to handling, indeed their ‘wives’ and offspring have at times aided and abetted, I still hold firm. This in itself is not the reason we are so poor in world rankings. Lack of skill is, as is lack of funding. With regard to abusive / violent behaviour then I need to backtrack. This is the one occasion where a Judge should take precedence over a Steward in terms of administering a penalty. If the judge has been abused either verbally or physically, then he should have the right to impose the penalty already in the rules for this transgression. The match organisers have also a duty of care for said judge and should support him accordingly. Any physical violence should be an automatic disqualification and the miscreant subjected to a ban. Sadly - as in all avenues of life then a bully will intimidate others who put up no resistance. It should not be nescessary but match organisers should ultimately not give control to those not able to stand up to intimidation. Where they do, then they are simply giving the bully free rein to do as he pleases. Sad really that a person willingly giving up his free time should ever be abused by other participants in the same pastime. No vindication for a bully but match organisers should take care not to give control to a judge who would be out of his depth. Judges as ploughmen, have different levels of skill and capability.
