[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 687957, member: 24910"] Bloody Nigel Owens. The more I read that match thread the angrier I get with him. He ruined it. He ruined the beautiful thread..... While I do understand the reasoning behind the suggested 'reffing discussion' thread I feel it may be (a) difficult to enforce and (b) mean an important talking point is absent from the thread. I do agree something should be done - the England/All Blacks thread was an embarrassment - so this may well be worth a go. I do feel the biggest issue in that thread was not the fact referee decisions were being discussed, rather a small minority of posters were either unable or unwilling to discuss them in a civilised manner. This off course wound up the (usually) resonable posters from one side, which in turn wound up the (usually) resonable posters from the other side. What resulted was that abomination of a match thread. Removing the more controversial parts of a match ( reffing decisions) may help in some way, but unless posters are mature enough to discuss in a civil manner it may not help. The victors will still be puffing up their chest a prancing around (while claiming they are being modest), while the losers will still claim they were robbed/food poisened/played poorly/ had too many injuries.... Sorry, went a bit off topic. I will stop ranting now. My view is it is worth a shot.... [/QUOTE]
