[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 908807, member: 55747"] Disagree. I exaggerated for picturesque reasons, but fans who dont understand why that play is a red card arguably constitute the overwhelming majority. Ruining a game by sending a guy off in the 1Q ruins that majority's entertainment. Just walk into any pub. That majority does have a point tho: the rules are pretty stupid. Most importantly this is as stupid way to fix the problem as you could think of. By doing this WR has managed to ridiculize pretty much every party involved. Those in favour of the (original )call are now pointing out the inconsistencies, those against it are saying the ref ruined the game and the refs are not defenseless. And having "a lot of rules" is as poor of an excuse as it gets. Just imagine Ref: What do you think you are doing? Why on earth are you fielding 17 players? Coach: Give me a break, so many rules we need to sort through. There is a right way to fix the rules. You change them. [/QUOTE]
