I'm still reffing and I'm 60. I'll retire when I feel the time is right OR my reviews suggest the time is right.

I agree. There is indeed.

The answer is either. Clearly so to anyone who ever watches cricket or indeed rugby.


You need to "hold" the ball long enough for control to be evident Slapping the ball back is not catching it....

Yep. Correct.

Exactly.

She asked question that she new could not be answered. That is useless / appauling reporting. SAhe persisted wi =th the line when it was clear it was going nowhere. Poor. It was like listening to a 7...

Surely the head of the referees' dept trumps any referee. No?

None of your post contradicts Damo's. Everything he says is true. No one deserves death threats for being crap at their job, especially since, in part, she was only following orders.

Did she add...

Misogyny?

You want to see the hate that John Inverdale gets.

Excellent post.

Prehaps rather then the "if you can't stand the heat..." tueism a better on e here might be "if you poke the Cobra don't be surprised when it strikes". A lot of today's so...

You read the law in conjunction with the definitions. In fairnes you always include the definitions in the specific laws although he it certainly could / should be.

She's is a terrible "hack" But she is doing her boss' bidding so the BBC (in this case) has to shoulder some of the blame.

That said she does not deserve the trolling. Perhaps more importantly al...

Why? They should be communicating in the best languague for them to gt it right!

And the ref has, according to Jutge admitted he was wrong. for both try 1 and try 2.

Of course:

Totally agree He could have managed it better.

Football adds time on, rugby stops the clock.

If he felt England were delaying he could have told the mto get a move on and eventually card Farrell. He just had a horrible brainfart that was ugly.

True we don't know what would have happened. However we do know that a side behind the game has a different mindset to one that is not. THe scores DID effect what followed. They were material to the...

Throw forward! Deliberate PK!

No oneis arguing with the rub of the green going different ways at different times. But here, surey, it should be about was the call right or wrong. Simply one was a wrong call and the other was poor...
