It is in an interview with Sportbladet that Tomas Thorsbrink opens up and tells about the judges' situation, and how things have gotten worse now in the fall. And after yesterday where there were several disputed situations around the SHL came harsh criticism from both players and leaders.

- All this has been going on for a long time, but above all accelerated now in the autumn with a medial game against the judges where on the personal plane attack the judges. That you are dissatisfied with the verdict you must say. But now you hang out individual judges and demand punishments and everything possible. The problem is that these players and leaders are idols and it raises so many other people, says Thorsbrink to Sportbladet.

And the criticism has also come from elsewhere, where it has crossed the border and become serious threats directed at the judges and their families.

- Only today there have been three murder threats against judges, where the police are connected. We have chosen this profession but when people even give up on family members, the limit is reached, Thorsbrink tells Sportbladet.

Home visits from supporters

It has even gone so far that people have entered private land, and to closed off areas.

- A supporter organization has been on a home visit with a judge. Another nearby example is when three people enter a closed area to mark against a judge. I see to my judges that they are not feeling well and the same thing is happening to me.
