WG makes some valid points, although Gridirons 'multi officials' isn't one of them.

Never forgotten an experienced ref telling me of the time a coach had come up to him after the game very cross about one decision he had made.

He responded "what about the other 799 I made?"

Quick exit from coach.

Puts it it all into perspective I think.

We must guard against the players trying to influence.........heading into the area of what I refer to at home as "The game of the Devil".

Pundits tend to oscillate between "pro" and "con" the TMO depending on how some TMO decisions have affected the teams they support..
