[QUOTE="Duck a l'Orange, post: 1051171, member: 72315"] Complaining about the ref's calls during the game is unavoidable and just human I think. Whenever I watch rugby, everything the opposition does is outrageous and any friendly infringement marginal at best. That's just the nature of human emotion and watching sport. If after the game you can't admit it went both ways with marginal calls and mistakes - which is the nature of rugby - that's more of a problem. A demonstrably wrong decision makes that harder, but it's still just one of a hundred mistakes any ref will make. You can complain the ref is "bad", but that should even out (perhaps not over 80 minutes) and - again - is the nature of rugby. Otherwise you're saying the ref is biased, which is a serious accusation and, (as far as I know universally at the professional level) nonsense. TL;DR: Get over it. The ref's either bad evenly, which doesn't matter, or biased, which they aren't. [/QUOTE]
