The whistle along with the voice is the main contolling tools
Heard after an all in brawl on the football field, the referee lost control. Lost control of what, his whistle, his car, his bowels. The referee controls rucks, the 10 m, scrums, penalties and general play, I afraid the referee is not equiped to control football thugs. The referee lost control, is a cop out and a rationalisation for losing matches or players losing their self-control and behaving like thugs. When players no longer respond to the whistle and referee commands, it is they who have lost control, those who use the cop out "the Referee lost control" and tirades that follow along this lines indicate that it is they lost control of their bowels obviously located in their mouth.
The MDRL Referee Supervisors Website details the stress factors associated with officiating.
It is obvious that Judiciary should hand out higher grading of when handing out penalties to those guilty of misconduct on the footbal field.
