Two different outcomes from apparently the same set of circumstances. As I keep trying to explain there is a lot more going on on the field than the crowd knows about.Flash posted:

So that means I am impartial of any team then?Flash posted:
The point being that you would automatically take the ref's viewpoint, whatever that happens to be, in either circumstance. Again using Sunday's example, had he penalised Warrington for dissent, all else being equal, you would equally have claimed that to be the right decision. It is not a criticism, just an explination of what I mean when I say there is no such thing as impartiality.
If you had no feelings at all though you would be impartial purely because you wouldn't be paying proper attention.Flash posted:
I would say that depends on whether you have any feelings towards them one way or the other, although this could be impacted upon, as you say, by events during a match etc. However the fact that you are motivated enough to become involved in a game automatically excludes total impartiality. You would have to not care in any way whatsoever about the game to be totally impartial (or at least as close as we humans come to it) and if that were the case you wouldn't be refereeing in the first place. Something of a paradox I'm afraid.
