@Jamie_rdfc To be clear, the consistency point isn’t just in relation to observers, it goes much wider than that!

I’m sure I’ll be at Hayden road soon, more than happy to have a chat over a beer in the bar after the game! 🍻⚽️

[Luke Scott @luketscott]

@Jamie_rdfc I agree that’s what everyone asks for, but they’ll soon stop asking for it if it was to be delivered.

No game is consistent, and an approach to a high temperature game will not work in a more routine game, it will just cause more frustrations on all sides.

[Luke Scott @luketscott]

@Jamie_rdfc This goes back to the point around consistency we discussed in the same episode.

No game is the same, and no approach to management of those games will be the same. Inflexibility in approach will be detrimental to everyone’s experience.

Appreciate the discussion!

[Luke Scott @luketscott]

@Jamie_rdfc As I said, not having an observer allows a more management based approach, or as some might say, a more common sense approach.

With less than 30% of games being covered by an observer at steps 3&4, refs will likely be more strict in application of law when being observed.

[Luke Scott @luketscott]

@Jamie_rdfc If you speak to most managers, they will testify that they prefer when a ref isnt being observed as it allows a more flexible approach to officiating.

Most wont call this a “ridiculous thing to say”, just confirming perceptions. May not be right but thats the system currently.

@matthammersmith @missLpagey Hi Lisa,

As I’ve always said to any one involved in the league, I’m happy to chat to people about their problems & opinions.

However, not sure where you got the information that they were awarded all wins for their games at the end of last season. Misinformation isn’t helpful.

[Michael Owen @themichaelowen]

If every manager was this gracious our game wouldn’t be in the mess it is. Managers have a huge responsibility to protect the game instead of whipping their fans up into a frenzy with biased nonsense.
