John!!! ref bashing even in a soccer thread... i'll leave that one alone.

Sorry DJ but i can't see you getting too much support on that one being a basketball site. And i have never seen a basketball game where a player takes a charge and is pretending to be injured, yes players flop, but when you scout basketball players there is no stat column of "years in acting school" (I am pretty sure i saw that on a soccer scouting site, but don't quote me).

The biggest problem with soccer is that there is still the problem that a lot of nations still think that the sport should be only played in their domain... countries like Australia should go back home and do something else... which was proven beyond a shadow of any doubt by the refereeing in the Australia - Brazil match... if the German ref who controlled that match gets the final, then the final will be a joke.

"but what a mob of PUSSIES - honestly it drives me up the wall when blokes get a tap and roll around like they have ruptured appendix"

Firstly I take it you have never played the game and taken a 'tap'.

Secondly when overacting happens is it any different to the way the charge/block/flop has developed over the years.
