Rugby is my husbands religion. Case closed. He spends hours reading up on the new laws and when he could no longer play or ref, he began to manage a local team of people he considers his friends. He really has tried to enjoy this world cup 2011, despite the fact that Scotland tanked out almost as early as America. Yesterday there was what I can say in the least a controversial call by a referee. Not only did Wales get a red card, but the person was their captain. People are getting furious over this. Perhaps as a captain he should have known better than to make a dangerous tackle.
This is gonna become as tiring as Englands constant reference to 1966, the last year they felt like men. In sports people are sometimes robbed and sometimes elevated above their talent. Fair play is the goal, but sadly, as long as referees are human, errors may occur in good, well-meaning men. It is done, get over it, move on. Wales will not be stopped by this, but for their fans thisis a unique opportunity to show sportsmanship. Lets see if the players are better at it than rugby fans per se. Life and sports are not totally fair, but we have to live them.
The referee has a parent that is French. I do not know his nationality to be fair. It does not matter in the least. This is not cricket that has been thrown in such disrepute. This is rugby, and we hold it to a higher standard because we can. Those of you who have never made a mistake at work cast the first stone. I am just thankful this blog is not read by as many people as watched that game. Even though after all these months i have only had 5,000 hits, I have had detractors as well. I have been called everything but a white woman, or patronized as a female thinking above her abilities. LIFE IS NOT FAIR.
FRANCE IS NOW IN THE FINAL. I DO NOT BELIEVE WALES OR FRANCE COULD TAKE AUSTRALIA OR NEW ZEALAND SO IT IS A MOOT POINT OF HONOR.
Many referees like "clownshoes" make errors all the time. He is not fired e is laughed at if he refs for others and cursed if you draw him for your game. But in any case, you play the game. It is a game, and life must be pretty carefree if we can give one game in a series this much ire. In a split second a red card was handed out. it was not a death sentence, Wales threw away their own game when Hook and others could not make kicks work for them, and so even despite this call, the game was lost by Wales.
The referee is always right, even if wrong because he is always human, and we can't second guess every pronouncement they make. We can try to learn form this, maybe adjust dangerous tackle definitions, but if the fellow had severely injured his neck, Mr Warburton would be the first, I know, to regret that decision. Now this is his chance to lead his team, as their captain into the future, and we all know Wales has a bright one. Wales will rise again, and that will be another game worth watching. The dragon will fight back to many scoffers regret.
Commiserations to all the teams that fought so gallantly and went home.
