[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1073307, member: 74121"] This seems to be the most generic refereeing thread. On the eve of some big games today I'd throw in my tuppence for the refs. - they don't have your HDTV camera angles and slow mos - they have 101 things to be thinking about in live time - for the good of the spectacle they are officiating the grey area between minor breaches of rules and flagrant, extended or repeated breaches. A degree of inconsistency is inevitable. - they can be instructed to officiate in their second language - their lives would be easier if the coaches that criticise the refs weren't encouraging their players to gain advantage by seeing what they can get away with - they aren't getting paid megabucks - they seemed to get criticised far more for their errors than the errors made by players and coaches With all that said, let the baying commence. :p [/QUOTE]
