[QUOTE="Eleutherarch, post: 1091992, member: 85519"] Not only does the game stagnate in growth, it can actually regress by losing longstanding fans. I have become really tired of the laws/refereeing becoming one of the main components of post-match analysis. How many times are close matches reduced to an obligatory congrats to Team X and commiserations to Team Y, before attributing said victory/loss to the rub of on-pitch decision-making at a few key moments? How many times are we listening to seasoned commentators/pundits getting stumped for several seconds as to why a penalty has been afforded? Or expressing surprise that something overt has not been penalised? You guys may call me a wuss, but before big domestic games and especially internationals, I get a bit anxious thinking to myself, "God I hope there are no huge gaffs or contentious moments". Oftentimes, the game engenders bitterness unfortunately. It's why I find myself watching more and more 7s. [/QUOTE]
