Talk:Referees - A Fan's Worse Nightmare/@comment-Alex Holowczak-2006051271432

In England, the FA introduced Professional Referees to help the situation. Cricket is a brilliant game, in that the umpires are only there to count the balls in the over - the players make the decisions themselves (i.e. if thet&quot;re out dubiously, and they know it, they leave, without waiting for the umpire). Refereeing could be improved without players moaning about the decisions, and just getting on with the GAME. If they called fouls on themselves, then the player themselves would get respect. Referees will make mistakes, they are human. No matter who was in charge of a game, mistakes would be made. Many fouls are just a referee&quot;s interpretation of the rule, and that leads to inconsistancy. There&quot;s not too much that can be done about that.
