[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 880553, member: 56232"] How can people with clearly limited knowledge of the laws hold refs accountable? If this game is anything to go by, it shows very well refs should NOT be put on trial by the public but by a proper refereeing body made up of people who actually understand the laws. Yeah they make mistakes on the day but I'm pretty sure that they would do better analysing the situations after than your average rugby fan. See how many didn't know that Hooper could not be brought onside if he continued forward or even that Moore was obstruction. Such people would always allow their emotions to determine how they feel about the decisions, even when they are correct. Said referee body can then say what they thought and deal with it without naming and shaming refs. All refs will have bad days and if we get into a habit of trying to poke holes in their credibility whenever it happens then it will just lead to refs being afraid to make any decisions for fear that they missed something. Welcome to TMO fest and the micro-analysis of every sodding thing, only now it's live rather than afterwards by some whinging fans. [/QUOTE]
