Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2621310, member: 1899"] Quality post Morkel. Look, I don't think fans will ever be satisfied with the standard of refereeing. They will always find fault and attribute blame whenever they can and I believe a victim mentality definitely exists amongst sports fans. Pick a sport, and chances are, there will be some controversy with officiating because that's just human nature. Eat, breathe, sleep, blame the refs - it's called the circle of life. Never the less I believe there are a ton of solutions being proposed which is great and I definitely think some of them need to be employed in order to improve the standard of refereeing or even reduce their impact on the game. For mine, the return of 5 minute sin-bins would certainly be something I'd consider because it seems like 10 is too harsh while continous cautions feels too light. 5 minutes would sort teams out. I also want to see more quick taps. Fans love spontaneity and when they're denied those moments through lazy refereeing it becomes an issue. But outside of changes like that and others, I don't think there is ever going to be a system where people are happy with and when things are building, the media will find something to whinge about causing some knee-jerk reaction fans don't want to see.
