Absolutely right.
Players get to know each ref's "style" and how they are likely to ref the match and they should knw by now that Child can be extremely pedantic on certain calls.
As fans, we get extremely frustrated when the calls go against our team but, the players have to take responsibility and not give him any reason to ping us.
Having said that, based purely on stats, when you see that Child is the ref, you know that our chances of winning have reduced.
