Correct

That’s a fair point

I’m more getting at the point that I’ve seen Leeds fans laying blame squarely at the refs door when they had been comprehensively outplayed. No ref/video ref would be brave enough to send Joel Tomkins off as well for that incident. They would always be put on report to be investigated by the disciplinary. I shudder to think how the ref could get enough evidence on the field to send him off

It would make The Bunker a very interesting listen

Match officials will always be an easy target for fans and coaches alike. Easy to criticise them rather than look at the shortcomings of your own side.

I still maintain that refs make less mistakes than players. Things would improve a lot of the sky commentators actually had an idea and understanding of the laws the game. They feed the bile and the anger, as well as a dribble of misinformation that the Trump administration would be embarrassed by. If I'd have had a pound for each time I'd had a player say to me "sky said" I'd have been able to fund Toronto for the next 10 years.

Absolutely spot on. It gets boring listening to them witter on about decisions when half the time they think the ref has given a penalty for something totally different. They spent 30 seconds debating a ball steal on Bibby on Thursday when the ref had blown up for offside. Their constant cry’s of “forward pass” are embarrassing as well. Just concentrate on calling the play and let the ref take care of the decisions. They focus on the negatives constantly. Compare that to Union who’s commentators refuse to call out a forward pass or knock on and just say everything is amazing.
