OK, time I jumped in...
ARRRRGHHHHHHHHHH referee's decision is final!!!!!! If I got upset about all
the wrong decisions made at a footie game, I'd commit suicide during
half-time, and after the game ended. And probably again in the pub when
someone else reminds me of a duff decision...
(Except for the Fingland - England game ten days ago, where the reply showed
the ball had clearly dropped behing the line in the goal mouth and the ref
waved play on... :o( Idiot raf clearly needs glasses! ARRRGGGHHH)
<grin>
A recent study showed that the linesman at a fooball game gets 15% to 20% of
offside decisions wrong. It's very frustrating sometimes....
