Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Actually, Mr Mikalauskas is OK as a ref.

Because everyone makes mistakes at some time in their life. It's how they react and work afterwards that matters.
Referees like Hicks and Child (Ganson, if you go back a bit) never acknowledge that they make mistakes and never change their ways. Indeed, during a match, if they cock up, they seem to double down on poor decision-making.

Poor owd Bentham. Seem to remember a commentator said that he asked if the crowd had cheered him as he was being carried off, which the crowd duly did.
