Eh? ![]() (I hope I have this right)Referees operate in a realm of absolute certainty. If there is any area of doubt in any decision, then they are unable to call it. The fact they do so on a second-by-second basis is terribly unfair. When they have the luxury of a VR then they should use it at every opportunity so that at least for one game, some of the poor loves' terminal inability to make calls is eliminated. If there's a VR, it's cruel to still have the ref indicate his decision, downright inhumane. he shouldn't be put through this.[/i
My opinion"I am 100% sure X happened"[/i! He makes decisions, non-stop, thousands of 'em, and I would guess is "certain" about very few. If any. But, his years and thousands of hours of experience however empower and equip him to very confidently make these decisions, and so he does. He makes the call. Every call. And if it is a highly contentious call and he is really struggling then he [istill[/i makes the call, giving the benefit of the doubt to whichever side the rules and his training indicate he should.
My opinion is your opinion is rubbish, and I note you go [iad hominem[/i as you can't argue against what I have explained, but I'll defend to the death etc. your right to have your rubbish opinion. OK?'"
Sorry but your posts are full of "if you're too stupid to understand this simple point" so please don't accuse me of making ad hominem attacks or of confusing my own opinion with an indisputable fact the way you seem prone to doing. I have argued against your points in a number of posts, so it's pointless repeating what I've already said especially when you've already got indignant at the fact I don't agree with you. And of course you think my opinion is rubbish. That's what a difference of opinion is. Surely you realise that that's how your opinion appears to those who disagree with you. |

James Child has got the TV game in Perpignan this weekend.
Wonder if he has some photos of Steve Ganson in very compromising situations.....

On the plus side, the cop out 'on report' is being used less.

I heard a vicious rumour that the players would play by the rules.
On further investigation it was found only to be a rumour and so everything will continue as " normal".

Sin binning will become the cop out soon though. |

I wouldn't call it a cop out, especially compared to on report which was essentially meaningless. |

It's good of Shaun Wane to point out this hideous curse of players "appealing to referees" which is blighting our game.
I look forward to him keeping schtum on the subject of referees for the rest of the season, lest he unduly influence their performance to his side's benefit.
Clown.

I remember many years back at Odsal Rob Burrow being warned by the ref for constant appealing. Every time Burrow was at acting halfback he was doing the Angry Birds arms-in-supplication thing, next PTB he did it again and got sin-binned |

Funny thing is, they have it as a signal for a set play now. Smarter play. Same thing happened with Diskin I think tapping on his wrist.
I remember Steve Ganson giving an awful decision against Ablett who burst out laughing at him, Ganson walked him 10 with his serious face on and his chest puffed out like the cock of the walk he thought he was when he go in to 'that' mood only to have to make that idiotic mouth tapping gesture in front of a bunch of bemused and laughing players.

Ref did well tonight for me. Other than maybe making Hock walk the first time he used the knee.

Child is awful and he is ruining this game. Lost control completely and the game is terrible to watch due to the constant stoppages/penalties/fights.

I think Child couldve dealt with earlier issues better so it didn't lead to this, but the ultimate responsibility lies with players who can't control themselves.
Either way I'm happy. THE BIFF'S BACK!!!

How Cas have only one in the bin is beyond me. Knees to the head, a professional foul and a penalty count in double figures.
