We all have answer to refs' shockers - it's that $200 box on the TV

[lockyrulz]

I'm positive your team have copped dud calls but did those decisions rob your team of a GF? No it never, it gained you one so of course you aren't going to bitch about it.

You're pretty quick to be calling others stupid but you're the one that's a bit slow on the uptake. Nobody is saying we should go to the video ref for every line ball decision, we're not saying we wont cop any 50/50 decisions against us in future because we all know there'll be plenty of them both ways.

We're talking about the pathetically bad calls that are so blatantly obvious to 99% of people that there just isn't any excuse for. Eg last Friday night and the 2006 GF.

I'm not slow on the uptake my friend, it is you who fails to get it.

See you look at one example and think you can isolate it. 'Oh we will only go to the vid ref when it's really obvious' It clearly wasn't obvious to any of the refs, including to my understanding, the vid ref.

Besides it doesn't stop there, it never does. If they bring that in, dickheads like you will just whinge at the ones that don't get picked up. How the hell do you think the game became so slow in the first place?

You will never be satisfied until every decision is correct to YOUR satisfaction. Bad luck chump, it aint gonna happen no mater what you do so to iterate..

GET THE f**k OVER IT

Problem with this is, as we've seen lots of times, the VR will get obvious things wrong as well. So where to then?

Exactly. Just look at the cricket review system, what a farce!

The only diference between now and say 2006, is that we now have a faster moving game that dickheads whine about, instead of a slow one.

I think I prefer something similar to the NFL model....

Let the on-field officials make decisions as if there was no video at all, and then either/or:

1. Let the coach have a right-of-challenge(s) - however you want to number that.

OR

2. Enable the video ref to call for a "booth review" of an awarded try BUT ONLY if he sees on the first replay something that so blatantly wrong that it suggests the on-field decision should be over-turned.

That way we get the horribly wrong on-field decisions over-turned, and we learn to live with the 50/50 close calls.

If it meant teams don't lose grand finals and regular season games off blatantly obvious dodgy ref calls then i wouldn't mind one bit if the game took a very small amount of time longer. I know what's more important of the 2 and it's not having to wait for a decision or 2.

Do you have to be home by a certain curfew or something that you can't stick around a touch longer if need be? To me it just adds to the drama of it all. Like i've said before, not every little 50/50 call just like the sh*t ones the other night.

You really should do something about your anger issues mate, there's no need to be resorting to name calling just because others don't agree with you. You got your GF, you got your 2 points the other night so you should be happy and have no reason to be bitchin like you are.

It won't mean that. 2006 remember? According to you that was 'obvious'

So who determines which are the 50/50 ones? Should the nrl have a direct link to your place to get your opinion on each call to shut you the f**k up?

Sure there is, it's vitally important to inform dickheads like you that you are dickheads.

I'm happy because the game is flowing at a good speed once more, but congratulations on missing the point yet again nimrod.

I don't want that not because the games run for longer... but because league is a game based on endurance and fatigue. It was a ridiculous situation last year where the video refs kept butting in on strips etc. It gives sides the chance to have a breather and that's not rugby league. If you want to watch a sport which has stoppages every few minutes then watch Union or NFL.

If Parra lost a game on a dodgy ref call i'd be pissed off, but in the overall hindsight I'd admit that it's in the best interests of the game for the ref to make a mistake, then to spend 2 or 3 minutes waiting for a video ref to make up his mind.

I've got another solution.

We quit whinging and get the f**k over it.

Every team has got the rough end of the pineapple at some stage, and a few calls go theri way.

Win. Thread should have been locked after this post.

Settle down precious :lol:

I don't agree with you but that's ok. Best you take a bit of your own advice and get the f**k over it keyboard hero. If only I could be so tough and had the courage to call someone a dickhead and nimrod (I didn't think people still said that, or even started for that matter) from the safe confines of your bedroom. You're f**king ace! LOL

 

[lockyrulz]

Well keep plugging away champ, who knows, maybe one day you will reach my dizzying heights of awesomeness.

In the meantime, leave my damn fast paced game of league alone.

harden the f**k up twigs it was a blatant knock back.

We are not talking about a "bad call" as you refer to, it was a fuggin disgracefull call, possibly the worst I have seen. We can all hope you have the same attitude if an obvious incorrect decision from a referee costs your team a game. :roll: No need to lie and say you wont, just to suit your argument now.

Finally someone said it. He was facing backwards, it slipped out of his hand as he was passing it backwards, it hits the ground behind him and then goes forward. Knock back folks.

The game is great so far this year. Keep the video ref out of it. Put up with the bad calls.

Can you use something other than 'twig' that really is offensive and unnecessary.
There's a f**kload of insulting words you can use without having to be homophobic and derogatory.

The morons just keep on coming....

I am at as loss as to how far I actually have to dumb this down so simpletons like you can actually understand my point. Still lets see if this works.

1. Of course I would be pissed if my team gets a dud call, it's happened many time before, anyone would be. Get it?

2. An obvious incorrect decision, is and always will be, subjective. Get it?

3. Incorrect decisions, as subjective as they are, will happen regardless of a video ref. Get it?

4. I would rather cop the odd bad call then slow the whole f**king game down just to suit whiny panty waste f**ktards like you, who will still bitch on regardless, eg 2006. Get it?

I understand your point fine, i just think its moronic to allow shyte decisions to continue when we can eliminate them from the game in a few short seconds. I was unaware that I had condoned the slowing down of the whole game. Just because someone has a different opinion, no need to resort to pathetic lame insults. A sure sign you know you're wrong.

the thing with the nfl was after awhile they had to update to hd for the refs challenge system and the booth because people at home could see the descisions with their hd but the refs couldnt in their sd
