[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 797673, member: 55747"] I disagree. How do you know someone isn't ready for something if you are so afraid of them failing you are not even willing to give them a chance to fail in the first place? You cannot, i repeat, you cannot know whether someone is up to a challenge until the are actually given the chance to face it. All the rest is just speculation. And to be fair, it's not as if the referees have been impeccable so far. Again, i'm not asking them to be on the spotlight for the play-offs final. Any jaguares vs another team that can't make it to the play offs will do. I try to be the last one to blame a referee or resort to conspiracy theories. I don't believe in that. Having said that, it does sound odd to play in a competition where all the refs are of the same nationalities of the teams we play against. I'm not saying they are against us, i'm just saying they are not doing enough to help us. Not the same thing. We've been playing the RC since 2012(?). We haven't been able to produce one single referee that can officiate a SR game in 4 years? That's a hard sell. And yes, mistakes will happen. That's how you improve. If you tell me that he would be taking the spot of a stellar, error free officiating machine, fair enough. That's not the case tho, is it? [/QUOTE]
