Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 3457424, member: 8215"] I don't think he is a lunatic or is acting on ego. I think he's doing exactly what he was hired to do. Capitalise on the ever-increasing growth of the gambling sector and gearing every decision towards making the game an attractive avenue for betting agencies. Games are so easily manipulated now because the video ref has almost complete power. He removed the set of eyes that had the most scrutiny on the cause of 90% of penalties, added 6-agains so the rulings don't even have time for the video to review it. It has resulted in some of the most bizarre results, ranging from record thumpings through to record comebacks, the exact kind of results that will have punters staring at 24+ wins, 24+ losses, and feeling like any of them are possible and the odds of such a wild result are worth the risk. And that's before we look at the inconsistencies in how certain incidents are treated, on and off the field, that would appear like absolute incompetence until you realise that the most anomalous of the rulings are the ones that benefit or punish the same teams with a[I] consistency [/I]that can't be accidental.
