[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 998990, member: 65365"] I agree with Tyler, which Tyler you ask? Don’t know. But it’s mostly cynicism if they are more than 3 behind, or the ball is in the half of the losing team. the ref is also more likely to see the offences in those situations I think. also, the attackingteam is taking more risks, playing faster, which means there are more likely to be indiscretions from both teams as desperation takes hold to keep up. but the ref is less likely to see the indiscretions if the team behind for two reasons: firstly, and predominantly, referees are far more lenient on the attacking team; second, the ref unconsciously feels sorry for them, or wants to bring harmony, make peace between the teams.
