[QUOTE="JoeySimz, post: 3291002"]
This is the crux of why it’s so frustrating for me. I just want a fair game decided by the teams. This year has been horrible. There have been so many bad calls effecting the outcome and quality of the game.

I‘ll go further and say that I would like some justice when there is a blown call. I don’t expect the refs to call a perfect game but they must be held to a standard. Just like everyone else, refs should have to answer to the press after games. If not, then let the coaches and players say whatever they want without penalty. And give them recourse for the game-deciding bad calls.

The refs need more in game support. How about a fourth official? How about a fifth at a monitor that has the power to overturn and can make replay faster?

They need a simpler rule book. There are too many changes and new emphases each year. There’s too much discretion on what constitutes a foul/violation and whether to call it. It should be simpler. Rules regarding when they can use replay and when they can overturn a call are inconsistent and do not reflect any principle of equity.
