Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 3133242, member: 1992"] I wasn't sure if this deserves a thread of it's own but... 10 minutes into the season after the rule was introduced I knew I hated it with a passion. My distaste is not because I cannot appreciate the upside of the rule but it IS all about the power to manipulate a game without oversight or accountability. I had no issue with the rules that preceded it's introduction and thought that a referee could penalise a team unfairly BUT the stats would show how each referee treated a team over the distance. In other words there'd be evidence, something we could look at and question. One game in particular years ago enraged me, a game where we didn't receive a single penalty for a whole match. The opposition that day were apparently perfect which we all know is just not possible. They received 10 penalties I believe and we lost the game in the last few minutes courtesy of the 10th penalty. My point is we could all see how biased and ridiculous such refereeing is, the evidence was there for all to see. The refs had enough power previously to rort games so why did we hand them even more power to orchestrate a result??? Suddenly they are not even accountable because penalties are down and the disparity not so great, unless of course it's the Broncos. Incidentally there was not one word spoken in the media about that game I mentioned earlier despite it being a historic statistical moment. I don't believe it has ever happened before or since. Sure, maybe there was a game where the count might have been one or two nil but FUCKING 10 NIL!!!! I'M STILL PISSED ABOUT IT HA HA. Anyway, opinions on the new rule and why you hate it!! [/QUOTE]
