And I also don’t exactly agree that a good coach drops a player for having a bad game. I’d like to think they coach the player in the first instance and point out what can be improved and worked on. If it’s something that is ongoing and need long term development, sure drop them.
Similarly, instead of “hey ref, you made a bad decision there. Leave your uniform at the door, you’re done”. Perhaps, maybe, you could try to educate and develop the decision making. Not sure the refereeing ranks have the numbers to drop refs due to a poor game.
We don’t know, but I’m assuming the ref in question, has performed reasonably well throughout their career, and recent season and thus was awarded the GF (judged by referee assessor’s who know the rules and interpretations).
Anyway. I’m not defending the decisions or what went on in the game. Just passing by and thought it was a bit overzealous to say the ref should never ref again.
