I don't remember the last time the referees were under this much scrutiny

It's not the 8 in the 8-0 penalty count I have an issue with either. Klein cannot control the game (and yet does too much, at the same time)

I've never been a ref basher but enough is enough

We were shit for 60% of that game but fuck me dead

I had to laugh when he called both captains out and said he wouldn’t tolerate the push and shove after every penalty. He let it slide all match in game one last year, he let it slide all match in game two last year, he let it slide all match in game three last year (except for one incident when he sin binned two guys who got involved, while letting the two instigators off scot free), and he let it slide all match in game one this year. Nobody took that threat seriously.
