2 Refs = No accountability for consistency!!

Posted by Justin on October 5, 2009 at 3:33pm
Having 2 refs adjudicating on one match is asking for inconsistency in interpretation of the rules. Yes with one ref on the field there will be mistakes but at least there is accountability that his interpretation remains constant. With two refs out there depending on which end of the field you're at you are playing to different (interpretation of the) rules. Lets go back to one ref on the field and allow the video ref to make on the run calls and to correct bad decisions, particularly head high, knock on and stripping the ball. This gives the ref support for tough calls, but stills holds him accountable for consistency which is arguably more important than accuracy. I saw two different rules out there yesterday and yes it did make a difference.

    no they shouldn't use the video ref for strips, they did that 2008 and that slowed the game down so much, and there were way too many hand overs and penalties for loosely carrying the ball.
