  1. One problem is that they are self regulating (I think). Therefore they are of one mindset and that seems to be the letter of the Law. If their governing panel had independents sat on it, ex-players for example, then maybe we would get interpretations of the laws, the spirit if you like. The Matt Cash incident was a perfect example, yes the ball did touch his thigh before hitting his outstretched arm.  The law was never intended for the ball grazing off someone, it was for the ball to be deflected and deviated off it's path onto the hand. The referees are don't want to make their own interpretations (use common sense?) If they took advice from independents rather than other referees we may see some improvement. Don't get me started on the offside laws.........
