[QUOTE="ShropshireAllBlack, post: 1145119, member: 87124"] As an amateur ref, I inevitably get asked to explain “eccentric decisions” by officials. I don’t have the benefit of TMO or even impartial ARs (Nat 2 & Regional 1 level). I have 2 eyes, 1 perspective, 30 players chancing their luck, touchline referees in the crowd, and if I’m lucky, an assessor keeping an eye on proceedings. It’s a piece of p1ss really. Loughborough University did a study a few years ago. An elite level referee makes 800+ decisions per game. Go down to your local club next Saturday and Ref the 3rds. Then criticise the officials.
