Following on from the resurrection of the AR v The Benches thread. Set me thinking of another common 'difficulty' that comes up.
How do you justify and/or explain a decision made by the referee you don't agree with?
I'm discounting all the 'easy' ones where the referee is closer than both you as an AR and the benches - easy to shut them up then.
I'm not just talking KMIs like penalities, but maybe once or twice a match there will be a challenge in front of me, where I'm thinking and even saying to myself, no foul there and then lo and behold the referee will give it. That prompts the obvious shouts of 'Why didn't you give it lino'; 'You didn't think it was a foul' etc
In summary, how do you 'sell' a decision that you have not given/may not agree with?
Thanks
