How many time you guys play a week ? 2-3 time a week ?
How many time you guys ref a year ? 2-3 time ?
I think you can have the clearest ruleset as possible, ref are not as good as ruleset at the moment because nobody is reffing enough.
For example concerning the Woods and Polo drama, the whole talk after the goal was about Polo's mallet under Woods Wheel or not. Wich not the case, so the goal was counted. But there was a rule really clear to canceled this goal.
"10.3.4 Hitting the mallet of a player with the 2 hands on the handelbar - will result in a warning or a penalty."
But it looks like nobody saw that in live. I was arguing about this play with Max, because I did not see that woods get the 2 hands on the handle bar, I was thinking he was playing the ball, otherwise I would have not try to argue cause clearly it was a proper fault.
So to me, you can't be a good ref if you're not reffing a lot as you can't be a good player if you're not play a lot, so we might start to ref the pick-up.
