Yes - to referee,keep score, put the balls back on their spots,re-rack after frames. The matches you see on the telly are hardly local snooker hall matches where the players do all the above themselves.
The scottish one is a little easier on the eye then Mr Van der Hass (?).

obviously snooker needs a referee, most sports do. this question is a bit redundant. but as for "that scotch woman", i assume you're talking about micheala tabb, who in my opinion is one of the better snooker referees out there at the moment. i quite like her.

Yes this is to ensure fair play and to act as a non biased person to say whither it was a foul or a free ball. Also when the ball needs cleaning to ensure a clean contact if it was left to the players they may swap the ball or place it in a position which benefits them.
It is the same with all sports they are there to ensure no player can call another player a cheat.

It makes it look like "Snooker" is actually a sport.

Of course you need a ref in the professional arena. & why not have a woman do it they are just as capable.
