The introduction of referees doesn't mean the players have to abandon and respect for their fellow competitiors. An honest batsman will walk before the finger's gone up. It will also provide us with one of the football fans' greatest hobbies, complaining about poor refereeing. I'd rather be in a position to complain about bad refereeing decisions than bulls**t foul calls. Mustard
