Red Cards
-
honestly, the judiciary are a lottery. It's bizarre.
not sure they are? seems they are pretty consistent. This is now the 2nd one overturned for pretty much the same reason?
It's just they are not saying what the refs are saying. Of course they have a lot more time to look at things, don't have external pressures mounting on them the more they look at stuff. And apparently zero accountability (well, publicly anyway).
-
@Derpus do they currently get fined?
But I agree otherwise, refs have enough pressure on them, without having to make these decisions out there, and ultimately being undermined by a technicality or people with more time on thier hands to make these decisions
@chimoaus yep, take these decisions away from the refs who need to make them with the time constraints in the game, while looking at a big screen and the TMO making a ruling, and they so often get them wrong, I mean ref sees one thing, TMO sees another, one has to back down, and maybe I'm hearing what I want to hear, but often you hear one or the other not overly confident on the ruling the other is asking/confirming.
I mean given these guys careers are on the line, should Kahui now be given compensation or an apology from the ref (I dont think he should, but is this the path we are heading along?)
It is akin (on the less serious scale obviously) to being arrested for something, chucked in the slammer for the night, released only to have charges dropped...

And in the mean time we have games altered by red cards and Grumpy Old pricks like me giving up on games.

Whose is the second? T he tahs prop who lifted early in the game?
I really feel for the refs; not being supported by the judiciary must be soul destroying.
-
The interesting thing here is that the judicial committee's interpretation of what happened was the same as mine using the same footage O'Keeffe and his ARs used. So the refs need a clear explanation of what is mitigation because they can't even agree amongst themselves.

dude, don't ask me for specifics, some nerd will provide those i am sure
With regards to the refs not being supported, if they are not correct, then their ruling should be overturned. My concern is more that there does not seem to be the communication between the refereeing body, and the judiciary. Both are consistent, just consistently different.
-
If I can find the time over the next few days, I'll be the nerd to have a look at in which cases, what kind of offences, red cards imposed (or not imposed!) by which refs, have lead to decisions from the Judiciairy which are different from those of officials.
Edit: Super Rugby Pacific only

At least 50% of Pickerell's game decisions are overturned by fans.

I would be very surprised if there is no communication between the refereeing people and the judiciary people. I am thinking the framework the players, the refs, and judiciary are expected to operate under are just not workable in the real world.

that's probably a very fair point
imagine being a ref, looking at a screen, with crowd going fucking nuts in the background, conscious of the time being taken, looking at a very short clip being played at very slow speed, captains standing just away saying opposite things. You've got a framework, but it's a little vague, and you know that your decision could decide the entire shape of the game.
fuck that noise.
-
@mariner4life then, you make the call, and the Judiciary aint got your back!
Take the decision away from the match day officials except for grub acts (kicking, punching, biting etc)
-
@Stargazer I am interested in how many Red cards get overturned or downgraded. Do they ever upgrade from yellow to red?
If the 4 refs on the day only get it right say 60% of the time then 40% of the time a team is disadvantaged unfairly by being a man down for potentially 10 extra minutes and then losing that player.
Should professional teams and athletes have to put up with the incorrect decision being made even 10% of the time if you know what I mean.
I would also be interested if cards have any impact on the outcome of a game. I guess the timing of the card is important here, early reds might have more impact than late for example.

At amateur level: our competition has had live streaming the last 2 years. Our division is now part of it as well.
A couple of red cards have been overturned because they ref gets a split second to make the decision and overreacted. A couple of clubs have also used the video to try and cite players.
Will be an interesting season

@Stargazer What match did Aumua get his yellow card in?
-
@Stargazer said in Red Cards:
@chimoaus Asafo Aumua is a good example of a player who got yellow and was then cited (and that citing was upheld and resulted in a suspension).
That might be the one where they missed the foul play altogether? But that is a good example where the player is dealt with after the game.
-
@Stargazer What match did Aumua get his yellow card in?
I was wrong and @chimoaus is right. Aumua got away with it altogether and didn't get a card at all during the game (against the Highlanders), but he got cited for smashing his shoulder in Gareth Evans' face (immediately resulting in a black eye).

One benefit of the Paddy Ryan card - it happened with under 10 minutes to go so the colour of the card didn't have a impact on that game (yellow vs red)
