Regrettably at the moment -we lose most !But hey ho Its history! eh?
You dont go to RL anymore to watch an unbiased fella ensure two teams compete on a level playing field --you go and watch how much a prima donna officials can influence a competition between two teams
I appreciate the fact that linesman tell us the balls gone into touch (for the avoidance of doubt pehaps?)
A French video ref (not at a match between two English teams) but where a French teams involved!
Perhaps a home grown ref if Brazil get to the World Cup final ? Why not ?
.......and the rule changes do nothing!
Charge down /or played at the ball
Forward pass / or momentum
!0 yards at play the ball / no 7 or 8 will do and move up as its played
A well judged kick into the in goal area by attacking team / no catch it with your foot over the line advantage to defence
Good defence by holding attacker up and stopping grounding / no --have another go attackers!
Inrepretation -thats the name of the game!!
And reviews of matches bring ...................nothing
And disciplinary panels --- early guilty pleas get you leniency! Wow
And the same referee consecutive or alternate fixtures?
(..........and he`ll have forgot indiscretions from the previous fixture ! )
I dont think so IMO , "He`ll be watching you"!! hardly unbiased !
And since "technology"?
We`ll soon have to allocate Sky slots of 2 hours to allow for camera re-runs from goodness knows how many angles!
This is absolutely nothing to do with the dg miss and subsequent furore and statements . In my view we should have taken the "two" from a kickable position (especially as it was a "one off" knockout game ) The "tee" was coming on (I believe) surely that means PA had made a decision? Then suddenly we run it ! However as I say - result stands
The adjudicators decision is final -Get over it !
No --though biased like most supporters --watching other games on Sky where frankly , other than a preferred result that assists us , I couldnt care less ...... the above still stands
Its not an easy job & I wouldnt want to do it !
But as a paying customer , I think our great game deserves better standards than rul changes has achieved and creating so called professional officials has produced .
IMO (as youve probably gathered) its POOR !
