Just another introduction of a subjective decision left in the ref's hands ... which leads to every call looking like it could go your way if you make the right subjective look, or against you if the call goes the other way. A fine example of precisely what is wrong with today's officiating.
My theory says that in the big picture the resultant controversy sells tickets... and that is what it is all about.
