[QUOTE="bates, post: 217729"] To go a littble bit of Topic, one of my mates I met during a training I met in Austria wrote a book about how they bribe Soccer games: "The bribe " by Declan Hill, a Canadien journalist. During his lecturer he explained how they did it and why, how you can trace it etc... really worth having a look at ( if you love soccer like you love your wife :D ) The difference between soccer and rugby when it comes to respect to the ref is that there is much more money going on in soccer, the players fall every 3 metres and act poshy on the field and after the game. Conerning the mistakes a ref can make, his only human as well, the FIFA allows a ref to have a marge of 15% in taking wrong dicissions, so 15/100 he could be wrong. In big rugby games you have camera's every where, so that makes things much easier for him, altho the amount of camera's depends on the importance of the game and the interest of the broadcasting stations. It's very easy to blame the one guy that can make the difference between winning and losing, but how you twist or turn it, he can never satify both parties. I believe that he knows what he's doing and when it comes to rugby most refs are intelligent, there are some exceptions :D [/QUOTE]
