Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "The other thing is, IF a ref really is failing to police the 10, letting lying on go etc., then this still has NO effect on the ability of either team to beat each other, because it's the old "same for both sides" story.
If you accept that a ref is as palpably blind to (say) holding down as some claim, then this should be obvious at least equally to all players as it is to these fans, so unless they are all stupid and their coach blind, they could and should get away with just the same.
But then many rabid supporters would just change tack to conspiracism, i.e. "yes, but he was only not watching one side"
