I like object's ideal that players can work it out between themselves, but in reality, this will only work with situations where there hasn't been anger involved already. So working out if it was a goal or not should be achievable, but working out if a t-bone was a foul or not isn't going to work.
In the previous league we had some really rough and nasty play, so bad in fact that some people have never returned to play polo since, I was reffing a game, I wanted to get the offender off the court, but the ref's voice wasn't respected or heard. It would be good for refs to be acknowledged and their word final, but they need to gauge the situation and use their better judgement to decide whether to step in or not.
