Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "TBF the cameras most used for the contentious VR decisions are those carried on the shoulder by the mobile cameramen.'"
Some of them are FA, I guess that's fair comment, but they usually only use the shots from ground level where there are fewer players milling about spoiling the view, and crucially they are outside the pitch, which to be fair only improves the argument about often getting a better view from [ioff[/i the paddock.
I get the idea that players have to regard the word of the ref as, 'the word of god', I absolutely do as the game gets quite awful when they don't, - but us speccies certainly don't. Referees are human beings - they make human mistakes and, shock horror, some are better than others. Some [imo] are also badly treated by the authorities and pitched into a level they are not yet equipped to deal with. I think we have every right to point out when this occurs.
I do wonder if the, "you can't do the job yourself", brigade would just accept any shoddy job from a tradesman on the basis that, "well, I couldn't do it better myself"? I assume they must.
