[QUOTE="Bargoedboy, post: 327888, member: 42380"] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbOA8ff4FQ4[/url] during his involvement with ELVs another joke from irb mainly from southern hemispehere coaches and with full backing from mr obrien himself. paddy here talks about laws, and his arguement is at odds with what he tells refs via his directives. first off he tells us the game is too difficult to referee and needs to be made easier, yet why not train refs better? he also says touch judges should be more involved in game, yet during 07 RWC issued a directive to ignore slight offsides and forward passes, and when a noted coach brings this up he calls coach a liar publicly. then has to offer public apology. he tells coaches off for slating refs , and hands out punishment to a ref because coaches complained about ref ? He has shown a bias in his outbursts for which he has had to apologise, if it was not wrong he would not have to apologise would he. The game is harder to ref last few years due to refs not heeding the laws, and being given directives by paddy to concentrate on certain areas rather than the whole laws. who is at top of refs for last 5 years ? whatever you say regarding laws , these last 5 years has been a mess, with the tackle area and scrum area a major problem. The scrum has never been such an issue to ref, only since NZ and Australia decided they didnt want scrums. things are changing back at last , but still scrum is not reffed correctly , why not who is in charge ? yep keeps coming back to him don`t it.
