Refs get worse at the Lane

[Bladebri]

Refs are only human, just like players have bad games so do the officials, we can be critical of some of the decision making but they have to make there mind up in a split second, where a fan may see something the ref may have his line of sight blocked, yes I agree some are blatantly obvious, but at the end of the day he has the final say and we have to go with that even if we don't agree.

I don't blame the ref for missing their keeper handballing it outside the box, like you say, if there's someone stood in the way it can easily be missed. The linesman had a perfect view though, and the GK even looked at him as if to say "Oh shit, you saw that didn't you?"

I understand that fully, yes the linesman should have helped the ref out, that's if in his opinion he was 100% sure the ball was outside the box, it's all down to small margins or having the balls to make the big decision.
