They should do something about players standing near the ball to prevent free kicks being taken. If a player does this then the ref ought to move the ball forward ten yards and or book the player.

With all Premiership matches being televised now there ought to be a fifth official in radio contact with the ref who is watching the TV monitors and advising the ref on things he or the linesmen can't see. This could be particularly useful in decisions which could result in a card being shown.
