Mishearing someone and not knowing the rules aren't even in the same universe.I didn't think there would be much difference with replacement refs but its not even debatable , these guys are horrendous .
The point is the mistake was made and had a far greater impact. People are just picking on the new kid and forgot about the previous kid they used to pick on. Just like we give teams to shake off the rust I think it's only fair to let the new referees get comfortable... sadly, it will be at the expense of the game. All we can hope for is you're on the right side of these idiotic calls.
