Quote wrencat1873="wrencat1873"Match officials will always make some mistakes, they have to make split second judgements throughout the 80 minutes.
Players make more mistakes and the Sky pundits over analyse every last problem, sometimes when there is nothing to see.
Human error is part and parcel of the game and there seems little change on last season, apart from the improvement (generally speaking) in the obstruction rule.'"
The players and the ref are doing very different jobs. Player mistakes are part of the game, a knock on is followed by a scrum, for example. Referee mistakes are not, if a knock on is not followed by a scrum then the game has been adulterated for the worse, therefore these mistakes have to be kept to an absolute minimum and we have every right to complain if there are too many or if not enough is being done to reduce them.
I do agree with you about Sky though. No need to analyse every decision or to get Cummings' opinion on every call. It's cringeworthy.
