Quote: barham red "What is a correct decision? I’ve seen decisions on sky talked about by ‘experts’ or at worst people with as much knowledge as us and even they can’t decide whether a decision is right or wrong.
I’ve been at games where I’ve swore blind the ref had the opposing teams shirt on under his refs one only to come home and watch it back and find out 9 times out of ten he had a point.
The bottom line is he will never be right in the biased eyes of fans, if he was the only ones to blame would be the team and that’s really not what we want.
I agree a running commentary of the VR decision would help, maybe 2 VR’s to debate it.
I know we hate rule changes but why not use the NFL / cricket template that at Televised games teams get 3 challenges to be used at any time, get it wrong and you lose them. Would add a bit of interest.
Bottom line is petitioning for them to get better is really pointless, I’m sure there mission statement is to get better.'"
You say asking for them to get better is pointless, yet you made two suggestions of how they could be better in your post?!
My petition isn't sour grapes, refs hate rovers etc etc. It is the fact that I am falling out of love with this sport, and I think it is farcical that things such as video ref decisions get called wrong, forward passes can't be looked at on the screen and all that rubbish.
One day, a team will lose a final based on a decision, and the sport really will fall off its loosely fitted perch.
