bit of a fudge up on my part there lads, not what i meant.

look, the job of a football player is very different to a referee. there's not a set standard of perfection for a football player - they go out there and do their best. But for a referee, it's simple - their job wants them to get every single call right. Obviously I don't expect refs to get everything right and they won't 

They're not going to be perfect but they'll inevitably be scrutinised more than a player if they mess up; a player mistake is part of the game but a referee mistake is a misrepresentation of the laws so a team is going to feel a lot more hard done by.

You don't tell a doctor "yeah, go and save as many people as you can, but if you fudge up and accidentally saw a guy's head off, it's alright" - that's what I'm getting at.
