Saudi Pro League not in the top 5, no?

I've scored more than that this year for my dog shit league too. No ones writing any articles about it though!
Ronaldo (and Messi because apparently you can't mention one without people jumping at you about the other) have essentially semi retired and both are just seeing out their careers in weak leagues.
Messi has just gone to the MLS to have a bit of fun with his old mates and Ronaldo is just getting paid to pad out his stats.
The argument has been made for years that ex professionals should be referees as "they know the game".
But that's complete bullshit.
They know a specific position.
Imagine an ex defender becoming a referee, he would have a much high tolerance level for what is a foul than an ex striker would.
Impartiality is imperative to being a referee. Ex pros are not remotely impartial.
