Whenever you take to the field you do so against two other teams. One team has a whistle though...

So how many bad decisions at the weekend in three matches alone? What about the previous weekend?
Any sign of it improving as there has been some shockers this year already.
When are the refs and the assistants going to become accountable for their farcical actions? They talk about respect but not once do they come out of their dressing room and hold their hands up to the camera and admit they did the wrong thing or explain why they did what they did. It is no good Keith Hackett taking action behind the scenes because it cheats the fans twice.

What makes it worse in my eyes is that they don't talk to the players, they look above them and wave them away - just the worst think to do in any situation. Rugby refs talk to your captain if it is a general team problem or to you so why can't Football refs do the same?
