I think in every country i always a little bit of "local ref support", but from what I've heard from my teams, 141 were flying around the not french teams too much, but not vice versa.

A little bit sad but hey, there are only 3 events in a french speaking country. :D
You do realise that there were fewer French refs than any other country right? In fact, if memory serves, the greatest proportion of Refs (both Euro Refs and Teams) were German, then English ;)

Most refs i talked to or heard spoke french or some kind of spanish language.

but thats not the point of this post.

Refs will have to try to think more of the players situation. For example, shouting and pointing someone out from behind? This should be pretty obvious for most, still happend in the cpl finals though. If a player puts his hand on his head, hes out no matter what you do. And if a ref calls someone out, youre out!! Simple as it seems these rules obviously did not apply in toulouse in a lot of cases.

Fair enough - but I promise you that there were far more English and German Refs backstage :)

I'm not going to comment on anything else, but if you catch me at the Max masters, I'll tell you the nationality and team of the guy who pulled most 1-4-1's on our field ;)

100% agreeing, but hey, we´re all paying customers and if you got called out and have your hand on the head, the barrel raised to the sky it should be possible to ask a simple question if the situation is not 100% clear for you or? Without getting 141ed.

So, think the (top reffing!) guyz should just cool down a little for maxs masters. Not all players wanna bitch them, there are still some guys left that just want to play :)

And hey, get back to the point, there are no biased refs at all. Doesn´t matter where they are from. (Normally it´s just a f**kin´bad excusion 4 loosing....).

All things get better for Germany, i know :D

I noticed a few refs doing it when questioned.
That´s the point, you only noticed a few. Me noticed none in our games :D
But that´s only personal opinion ;)

A ref calling "Out! On your ****" whatever, would really be nice :)

I´m interested in the opinions of the Millennium-Refs for Toulouse?
How did you feel for the first event?
Everything worked fine? Players still stupid like season 2006 ;)?
Or are there things that have to be sorted out?

Would be great if some refs could reply. Just wanna know, I see you guys even more often than my grandma :eek:

Yes ofcourse you should be told why or where. What i was implying was that refs let people who put their hand on their head start play again for reasons unknown. :)
