[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1051175, member: 55747"] I think that is a pretty big design flaw to be honest (not yours, WR's). Not as big as the death star's but close enough. The refs job is hard enough without even taking entertainment into account. All of this puts the spotlight on the wrong place. It is a very, very difficult sport to officiate already. The number of things they have to oversee, and the level of detail required to do so is tremendous. The refs are not the problem here and i am 99% sure RE knows that. His jabs at the refs are jabs at WR and not the refs themselves. Again, this is a pretty ******* big deal: you have a world cup winning coach saying he doesn't understand the rules. And he has a point. You sit two top tier refs to watch the same game and they can have opposing views on 20 calls. That is just not good enough. If someone like RE is lost imagine what is going through someone who just started watching the sport. He'll ran away, and understandably so. Using seinfeld terms: this is WR problem that requires a WR solution. I guarantee you that coaches, not all of course, but a LOT of them, are applauding RE behind closed doors. A lot of them are just sick and tired. It is exhausting to plan a game when you dont know what the calls of some of your plays will be. At all levels. [/QUOTE]
