I pretty much agree—though I think there are games where poor choices by an R, even at that level, do help the game spiral downwards—they just happen far less than at lower levels. But even the best refs sometimes lay an egg that contributes to a game going south. I always look at discussions here as what we can learn for our games, not just for the professional level. And in thinking of our games, the contribution we have- good and bad—to games deteriorating is much higher.Agree and that much is obvious tbh. But we're talking about PL matches here. Refs don't lose control. Most decisions bring the same result regardless of the referee in charge. Professional players have to be professional and not allow frustration to effect their performances.
