I haven't seen them either. We can only hope.

If he is in I don't want the ref to get in the way as I wouldn't want to accidentaly pass to him if he is standing in space.
And make his kit very different to the teams playing.

More problems....

Refs have different colour kits for different matches, so that in itself would not be a problem.

Accidentally hitting a ref is part and parcel of the game, it would make me laugh, then become angry, so it's a 50-50 situation.

Do you think they would be able to get in players' way too or just deflect the ball (thinking of Sheffield Utd here...)?

It's part and parcel of the game, so who knows?

Being a ref myself I am told to be at about 10 yards from the ball so as to prevent it hitting me. Therefore it shouldn't hit the ref neither should they get in the way.
