High time for specialist hurling referees

Having played ,managed,mentored and in latter years attentively watched both hurling,football and camogie matches,I have come to the conclusion that it is high time that the refereeing of hurling and camogie matches be confined to specialist referees, preferably past players of the craft.
This is because the differing games have differing skills ,tempos,physicality ,mindsets ,ethos and  etiquettes.Because in hurling each contestant has under his control a potentially lethal weapon ,the scope for bullying is less,the necessity to exercise restraint and the rewards for courage are greater and the scope for skill under danger is higher, one must have either played the game or else been reared on its finesse to understand the mindset of its proponents.
Dual players especially,including myself ,know full well that there are huge differences between the games of football and hurling and that differing skillets and attributes apply.For example a player who may easily be intimidated by a bigger and stronger opponent on the football field can often feel that positions are more equalised in hurling ,where mutual respect of the hurl and its potential for retribution is a real deal breaker.
That there is a fine line between a manly pull and a mean one is indisputable and is a fine call.A hurling man knows the difference.The sneaky holding of an opponents hurley is quickly detected by a hurling man,not so a football man.Purists understand that one is entitled to pull on a free ball and that if an opponent is foolish enough to try to simultaneously kick such a ball and suffer a belt from the hurley it should be a lesson dearly learned and not a foul.
Hurlers take their accidental belts and get on with it more readily than footballers ,who are sometimes influenced by the soccer actors who go into casualty mode for little reason.
What brought this to mind is that I watched Stephen Masterson referee Dunderry V Kilmssan last Saturday.Twas a good ,competitive hard and fair game with no prisoners taken or given .A manly encounter between two teams who wanted to win.
Masterson a hurler himself knew his job and kept it flowing.The players too recognised that he knew his job and was not to be trifled with.No mouthing.Always a good sign.I would say that this is also important when players graduate to inter county teams.If they are too mollycoddled by hybrid referees in club matches,they must get a huge shock when exposed to those teams who are subject to the more manly ministrations of the more successful counties in the code.
Time to specialise I say.
