[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 765708, member: 20605"] Well here's my 6p worth I think the refereeing at this World Cup has been pretty good overall, and certainly nowhere near as bad as some people are making it out to be. There have not been a lot of actual mistakes (i.e. Law errors) only a couple of controversial decisions, and even the worst of those (the penalty that allowed Australia to rob Scotland of a place in the semi-finals) was an understandable error for which the vilification and OTT reaction by fans and the gutter snipes of the British press was totally out of order and uncalled for. The vast majority of the complaints about referees have been as a result of one-eyed interpreations by fans for decisions they see as mistakes simply because they saw it differently. Frankly, IMO, the OP's "Open Letter" is nothing more than a load of hot air with no subsance, evidence or fact. [/QUOTE]
