The few I've spoken to are awful, think they know everything about racing despite never actually going out on the circuit themselves.

Full of criticism of other people.
Oh, and generally fat

The thing is anyone can marshall, all you need to know is how to use a fire extinguisher and know your flags.
Is probably mainly lazy badgers doing it for a quick buck.

Good bunch of guys.

guys - what exactly do you need to know to be a marshal?

As long as you can wave a flag, put a fire out etc - good.

You NEED these guys if you want to go on track so cut them some slack OR DO IT YOURSELF.

You need to know enough Wikipedia to make you look like you know what you're talking about on forums. Or you can gain the same amount of knowledge by going on one trip to a certain track in Germany or you can gain the correct amount of knowledge credits by going on four track days.
