Posted September 28, 201410 yr comment_85448 Need I say more than this fail game run by those greedy *** zebras out there who are hell bent on destroying our team. CFL needs to do something about these clowns and reign them in immediately, start taking $ out of their paychecks if this keeps up. These guys are gestapos.
September 28, 201410 yr comment_85480 lol i agree but the reason the refs are so awful is because they don't get 1. paid enough and 2. enough training. it's not a job for them, it's just like delivering flyers for a few extra bucks a week. Until they actually invest in training the refs better, this inconsistency and incompetency will always be there.
September 28, 201410 yr Author comment_85485 Well, whoever you blame whether it's that nutjob Glen Johnson or now resigning comish Mark Cohon, someone needs to do their job out there instead of putting up with this referee crap job that's costing teams games and robbing fans of ticket money. It's ridiculous and the league is coming under fire from me for putting up with this.

It's ridiculous and the league is coming under fire from me for putting up with this. Honestly, the biggest WTF this game was "we can't review due to technical difficulties with the command centre". WTF was that about. THAT IS BUSH LEAGUE STUFF.
September 28, 201410 yr Author comment_85492 Surely they would stop play or do something to get a video replay system or communication system issue fixed. That is just a crapload of ****. No excuse for the league to put up with these zebras ******* up its games. Inexcusable for them not to do something about this.
September 28, 201410 yr comment_85493 Is diving a penalty in the cfl cuz medlock.. Come on man... Also, if you are blocked into the kicker, isnt it not a penalty?

The play is under review by the tsn announcers is what they should be saying then.
September 28, 201410 yr comment_85510 How can the Command Centre not have the replay when it was on the ******* jumbotron?

The reviews are made based on the different camera angles provided by the broadcasting network. Otherwise the league would have to use their own cameras and that would never happen. This is the first time it's happened in history of league reviews. Not bad if you ask me.
September 28, 201410 yr comment_85512 How can the Command Centre not have the replay when it was on the ******* jumbotron? yeah man, shouldn't be relying exclusively on tsn, should have an in house/in stadium camera too.

Not bad if you ask me. why couldn't they just use the replay from the in house feed, it was showed on the jumbo tron, for a situation that rarely to never happens, why not have a back up plan in case it does. I'd bet the NFL has a backup plan. Doubt you'd heard them say "technical difficulties".

How the hell were they supposed to transmit the freakin feed to the Command Centre when they couldn't transmit the feed out of the stadium. FYI - the house feed is provided by TSN.

September 28, 201410 yr comment_85516 The issue was that on the jumbo tron at the game... they clearly showed the play yet the refs refuse to look up??? O Shea was pissed and was telling them to look up and it clearly showed that the call should of been over ruled yet they didnt.
September 28, 201410 yr comment_85517 I'm more pissed at the contacting the kicker penalty and the non PI call on the last play. The Ticats defender had a hold of the receivers jersey.
September 28, 201410 yr comment_85518 I never, ever thought I'd say this... but the reffing in the CFL is actually driving me more and more away from my beloved league and closer and closer to being more of an NFL fan

O Shea was pissed and was telling them to look up and it clearly showed that the call should of been over ruled yet they didnt. On a review, the play is reviewed by the officials in the Command Centre. Not the on field officials. The officials in Toronto couldn't see the feed, just like us that were watching it on TV.
September 28, 201410 yr comment_85521 The issue was that on the jumbo tron at the game... they clearly showed the play yet the refs refuse to look up??? The rules do not allow the on-field officials to use replays to overturn calls. The official at the Command Centre is the only one who can - just like with the NHL.
September 28, 201410 yr comment_85526 I'm more pissed at the contacting the kicker penalty and the non PI call on the last play. The Ticats defender had a hold of the receivers jersey. The ball wasn't catchable so how could they call PI. Even if he hadn't held the jersey, the ball wouldn't have been catchable.

The ball wasn't catchable so how could they call PI. Even if he hadn't held the jersey, the ball wouldn't have been catchable. I've seen PI calls before when the pass non catchable. The defender didn't allow the receiver to make his cut towards the ball.

Same with the contacting the kicker call, last week ott vs sask, milo nailed, not called, this week, medlock not touched really at all.. penalty. Inconsistency is ruining the league. Oh and not just talking about bomber games, league wide the reffing is inconsistent and ruining games.

This is the first time it's happened in history of league reviews. Not bad if you ask me. What do I want them to do? Have a backup plan. If they lose the feed and can't review that play, there should be no reviews for the rest of the game for starters. It's more bush league to play part of a game under one set of rules and the rest under another set than it is to not have review at all. In terms of a backup plan, the stadium feed was working, the play was being replayed from at least 3 different angles on screens throughout the stadium. Each CFL game has an officiating supervisor. In the case that the Command Centre loses their feed, all reviews should go through the supervisor on site.
September 28, 201410 yr comment_85541 There were 3 bad calls that I saw that could have made this game at least possibly winnable. 1) The skipped ball that was caught by Hamilton. It's not the fact that they didn't have TSN feed, it's the fact that you're all watching the ball yet none of you saw it hit the field first. 2) The caught ball that was fumbled which could have been run back for a touchdown. 3) The roughing the kicker called where he barely touched the kicker yet he fell down as if he was tackled by a 300 pound DL. Not only that, but he was bumped into him.
