[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 790994, member: 55747"] I can understand the ref/TMO missing something. It is a fast paced sport. I can understand some plays where the ref/TMO disagree with viewers about what we see (some plays come down to a cm and the best we can do is have an educated guess). What i cannot understand, is a ref/TMO who see, recognize and acknowledge a player punching another one several times, and calmly affirm that such action only merits a yellow card. It is reasonable for people to disagree if one of the parties didn't see something or if they disagree on what they saw. Basically, they disagree on what happened, the facts. But this case, it is clear that the referee saw what happened, and just had a particular interpretation about what the penalty for the infraction should be. That is simply not good enough and needs to be corrected. Two refs who see the same facts should come up with the same call. [/QUOTE]
