@antipodean Bah, you and your laws -
Still, I think it's odd that the laws allow you to make one error in taking a penalty and not suffer for it, yet make another and you lose possession ... that doesn't seem consistent.

Wow ... something must have escalated to get RS banned .. I don't disagree with his points, but in each situation, the right decision was ultimately made. Thus, I'd prefer focus to be on the Canes for the mistakes than the referee taking the time to find them.
Anyway, I was only watching background, but I thought in each situation after he awarded it, he was informed by the TMO / AR to check it out, not by what he saw on TV.
I have no problem with the correct decisions being reached, but that was never my point. I have stated what my issue is several times now and I canāt be bothered repeating.
What I find utterly absurd and the reason I got so annoyed is the argument that it is the players who have to get their shit together, or learn the ābasicsā to avoid these situations. I think I can easily be forgiven for believing that was some kind of an attempt at trolling. Itās beyond me how you can blame the players for the officials fucking up.
Yeah apparently questioning why your post was deleted gets you banned now. The post was not abusive and was on topic (at least as on topic as the original post I responded to yesterday). You donāt even get the courtesy of a reply or warning, your posts just get deleted and then you get banned for 24 hours. Nice way to treat a guy who's been here for more than a decade. Cheers whoever that was.

No Worries.

@Rancid-Schnitzel I don't want this to drag on fella, but there really was no reason to get wound up at what I was saying. I even acknowledged twice that your points had merit.
Sorry you viewed what I said as trolling, I was simply pointing out where I thought the anger was better directed at.

Is it just me or does this look really cool, not so cool that I would want one myself. Kinda like a "Red badge of Courage" or Purple Heart. Makes you look tough too.
Not exactly a badge of honour
Anyway, watched a replay of the game for the first time yesterday. Gee Gardner had a shocker. I think also a massive problem was that his touch judges were way too green and didn't dare involve themselves. Ultimately, while you want a ref to be confident in his abilities, it is much better to go straight to the TMO rather than have the shit show we had the other night.
