Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 2969657, member: 1992"] So true. Many people simply have ridiculous rose coloured memories of the terrible days before we started getting 98% of the calls right. Back then we got 75-80% of the calls right and it's a total crock of shit to suggest that things even out. If that were true then over 30 years all teams would have received the same amount of penalties with a 1% variation but that's not the case. Take for example a team making one solitary grand final and losing it due to an error from a ref that we couldn't overrule, when the **** is that going to even out ? Never. People become used to the new normal and keep remembering a time that never existed. I remember blunder after blunder and as replays became better I kept thinking, time for change. Let's give power to an off field umpire who has the power to correct obvious blunders and I wasn't alone as is obvious with the introduction of the very same. Reffing is vastly superior now to the error riddled past and we get so much more right now. Personally I don't fucking care how long it takes to get the right decisions and I can live with the ones we get wrong now. [/QUOTE]
