Yellow Cards For Umpires and Referees!  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 78/100. henniesaunders (789) 2 years ago

We see a lot of dissatisfaction from players towards referees and umpires in rugby and cricket nowadays. And with good reason in many cases. I suggest a system where players are allowed to hand a ref or umpire a yellow card during the match, without having to argue about it. After the match and independent panel must review and hand judgement! Negative judgements must go against the individual's record. I believe it will go a long way in getting rid of aggressive behaviour from players.

You know, i still cannot get this card thing. And please do not try to explain it. Where are the days when you just sort each other out on the field and get it over with. Most of the umpires and referees are either blind or stupid. So, this card thing is just crap. They are wasting game time. TATA.

I agree with you! So allow the players to also hand out cards! Often, the officials are wrong anyway. I just saw an interview on TV with one of the leading rugby refs in the world and he is threatening serious action and banning against players who complain. The players make the game - not the refs and umpires!

I support this idea but I feel that umpires are also human beings and they can make mistakes too... But too much mistakes only will make you incompetent umpire and he should definitely be penalized. An example for too many mistakes in a single match was a test match against India vs Australia when they last toured Australia. There were everything going against Indians due to the bad decision of umpire. I think when the mistakes are unusual and when there are too many, I support this idea and it would be great if it is implemented. happy

Thanks Vince

Yes, I also think if they bring in the TV review system that was tested last year, it will improve cricket a lot. I agree with you that umpires are human and make mistakes. But some of them are arrogant and will not admit that the players have a right to fairness. In rugby it is a more severe problem. One sees a different interpretation of the rules by refs from different countries and regions. One deliberate mistake can determine the outcome of a match. With technology at their disposal, administrators should use it progressively. I feel strongly that a yellow card system will at least give the players a voice to eliminate "bad" umpires.
