Paradoxically, Cashy, I think your point may be just why nothing will change soon as regards poor judgement from refs.
It does happen with the 'big boys' but football is now so indebted to the media, mainly television, who love such controversy as it produces hours and hours of broadcast hot air. Sometimes the games are so boring that refereeing decisions are the only thing all those pundits can 'debate'. Happening right now - the main topic on 5Live is currently the sending off of Mata, and an hour ago it was the Liverpool 'penalty'.
We all know it's not easy being a ref but the lack of technology or other support to help improve matters is of no interest to the media,whose primary purpose seems to be to create tomorrow's headlines.
