Why explaining decisions probably won't make any difference

And what's the betting that the 2 who said it was correct were the EPL and PGMOL representatives, and the 3 that said it was wrong were the ex-managers / players? It is utterly ridiculous, in what other industry would people who have no qualifications in that industry be allowed to make judgement on decisions made by those that are qualified? If you were reviewing an electrician's wiring that went wrong would you ask a man off the street to do it, just on the basis that they use electricity?

The point of having a PGMOL rep on the panel is to assist the ex player/ex coach on Law etc, so that an informed outcome is achieved, much like a trainee electrician with a fully qualified electrician.

Not sure that is right as it isn't necessarily a referee or ex-referee. And if it is wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having a panel, they are supposed to have 5 people making their own decisions, not on person leading the others to a decision.

That’s true with PGMOL, it could be a delegate etc. They may not lead at all, they may just be like a court clerk is to a magistrate.
