Dont think players realise the bigger picture. Players will play 8 games ish, probbably make mistakes in at least one. The refs do 40+ games in a day and if they happen to miss one thing or make a bad call in a couple of games then its bit of bad luck if your on the recieving end of it, but really its not that bad if you look at the percentages.
agreed, but also a lot of players are unfortunatly in the mind set that if they dont agree with a call then it is incorrect......a marshal will call what he sees. players oftern see things from a different angle cant see the whole picture.
that coupled with the fact that a LOT of players cant get it into their head that if they are in play with a shot ANYWHERE then it is an instant 141 is a nightmare sometimes...refs dont write the rules they just enforce them.
is anyone else of the opinion that giving one field 'field of the day' is a little silly also? what do players actually base their vote on? i bet most of them vote for someone they know, or the field which didnt enforce 141s when they should and a good %age will vote for the field with the best field design.
what have any of those got to do with who were the best marshals? especially when the field that gets the prize gets a fairly sizeable pay bonus.
all it takes is for one 50/50 call to go against a team and they wont vote for a field no matter how good the refs actually are working.
and no im not jelouse because we didnt win it this month (we did last month) before anyone even thinks it.
