[QUOTE="barthelemy, post: 747314, member: 56370"] No, not especially, it was just to express that I'm not biased on this subject and I think rugby has always had this issue of referee being too much in control of the game. The referee is a human guy who is reacting humanly and in that respect, we should go towards more videos, more weight for line out referees and TMO for a fairer game. How many matches always end up in a criticism of the referee ? Loads sadly. Even more since the videos is used much more heavily. Rugby rules are facts, true. However, in reality, it is also a lot of interpretation due to the fact that there are a lot of situation where the ball is hidden from the referee, or it is going to quickly for the referee, or the referee is badly located to see something I would not assumed that much offsides are called by linesmen, would be interesting to have this information. If I'm correct, the rule is that until the balls is not out of the maul, you have to be behind the last foot of your own teammate part of this same maul :D:D This rule is never applied seriously because very difficult to apply seriously as the main referee does not have eyes in his back. So they apply it with their impression created from a fraction of the whole pitch perspective. One of the solution for the offside would be to have an electronic system on the pitch with sensor that are following the game on each side of the pitch that would bip instantly the referee if somebody is crossing an imaginary line created by the sensors... [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] It is not really what I'm underlying. I understand that the consistency accross referees and across matches can be different as some referees will let play more than others for example (though it is an issue as in some case a referee can apply his biased perspective without people being able to point out he is biased as he could have an excuse of "it is my style of refering..."). But still, fine, I can accept inconsistency between referees as long as teams are aware how each referees are taking care of the game. In my answer to Tony Manx, you have a better explanation. The offside is effectively a matter of fact but quite often, in reality it is not as most of the offsides are not called by the referee. Again, if it is longer but fairer, I would prefer, hoping there is away of doing it without adding 40 minutes of replays to a game. [/QUOTE]
