Exactly how I saw it....after we kept getting penalised in that first half and we were struggling to make yards, I kept watching Child at our play the ball, hoping he would ping Hull for off-side as they were on us in a flash, but not once did he even look across the line to look at the Hull players, yet he was quite happy to ping us for it !!
Like you say, it has to work both ways

Would it. E pkssible for the man in the middle to attend a question session after the game. 3 questions from each coach and the rest from the press.
Would make them a little more accountable.

You can't Polish a turd

But you can roll it in glitter

Yes you can, Manuel, They did it with that of an elephant and a lion on Mythbusters TV show some years ago.

You must watch some crap TV

I wonder if in the same session we could have the refs questioning the coaches and players, asking why they planned to slow the play down against the rules or why they decided to talk back to the ref when they know it is a penalty offence.
Works both ways. Neither is constructive.

Calm down pop tart. The coaches of both teams give press conference after the game. The officials who quie often seem to have a bigger influence in a game simply slip away. Sky even had an ex reff adding comments to a game and not only questioning some of the calls but also providing some insight with quite some difficulty with the reffs decisions.

But they don't have a bigger influence at all.
They are just more visible and they don't have anyone in the crowd biased towards them.

Don't know how you can say that - when they make [iall [/ithe decisions.

agree as soon as I heard it described on radio I said that will cost us the game

Well, as you weren't there -as usual - I'll fill you in...
He gave a penalty for a high tackle when the player was virtually on his knees when he was tackled.
