Andrew Dallas had to swap the pitch for the studio after being left in constant pain after
The Premiership whistler - son of infamous former official and head of referees Hugh - has had to step back from on-field reffing and make the full-time move to Clydesdale House, where video replays are analysed to help refs at stadiums try and make the right decisions.
“The choice was laid before me - either I had a hip replacement or nine months rest. I was still relatively young and I didn’t want a hip replacement, so I took the rest option. I came back the following season and refereed a bunch of matches, about a dozen of them in the Premiership. “In games I was never in discomfort because adrenalin took over. But eventually the surgeon told me the injections and painkillers were masking the pain - it was still there, I just wasn’t feeling it.
“I’m finished with onfield refereeing, which is hard for me to say. To walk away from refereeing altogether if VAR hadn’t come in would’ve been really tough. I’d maybe have persevered for another season, but that wouldn’t have been fair on the clubs and it wouldn’t have been fair on the game.
