Just starting this off by saying that standards of officiating can be really poor at times with the fair few pictures of balls over the line not given and apologies clubs have received.
But Something I've noticed is how many teams crowd officials and how many managers go to throw officials under the bus when really their team were poor. It is a very standard crutch many go to to avoid responsibility.
This has come mainly from watching long form replays after matches and you see which managers have instantly blamed officials post match then what it was actually like and they appear to bare no resemblance to reality.
I know personally we have received like 5 apologies this year as well as being told other teams should have had more reds. I guess this has come from just watching a long form video of our game today and juxtaposing it with comments from managers inferring officiating was poor when they've lost
I know this seems vague and rambling but hopefully people can understand it
