[QUOTE="Derpus, post: 1145229, member: 76427"] This is certainly to be kept in mind when considering the merit of a single decision in isolation and I think that is why consistency is such an important metric for a referee. They are never going to get every decision 'right' but hopefully they are consistent and fair in how they interpret and apply the laws to both teams. You can't be too hard on a ref for making errors in isolation - its when you see a trend that notably benefits one side more than the other that people get really frustrated. And I think that's fair enough. As an aside - I reckon ref bashing has gotten significantly worse the further down the video review path we've gone. People have come to expect a level of accuracy that isn't humanly possible and that actually detracts from the game as a spectacle when pursued. [/QUOTE]
