IC Khari Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Sure there where some lapses on the Bombers part but that was the WORST officiated game I have ever seen. I've had enough of this Bomber hating clown! Wasn't he the guy who gave the Als the win a few years back at CanadInns Stadium? Of course Allen can run through a hole that the Bomber defender is being clearly held on. How many blatent offsides by the Riders turned into big plays does he think is enough? Puke ... I mean Proulx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do or die Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Some of the missed offsides/holding were pretty epic..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfranc Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Apparently the CFL, in all its infinite wisdom, has gone away from crews. The various officials are changed from one crew to another game by game. This doesn't help what was already a lacklustre group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 the refs are afraid to get out of Regina alive or covered with poo, if they call the holding and offside against the Riders Floyd, IC Khari and JohnnyOnTheSpot 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IC Khari Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 That TBrack offside was horrible. Ya, the one on the play where Willy gets his ankle turned and fumbles the ball turning into a convenient Rider touchdown. Sure the Riders are a good team but why help them so much?

Goalie Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 The blatant holdings and offsides, ok i get it, they don't always call those but are guys got called twice for holding didn't they? so if you call one team, call the other. But you know what, i can give the refs a pass on those ones, the one i can't understand for the life of me was the none call on the opening drive that resulted in a sask interception and totally killed what would have been early momentum. How do you miss that? not enough evidence to over turn the call? How the hell do you say that when it was obviously a PI call... I can live with the lack of calls on the holding and the offsides, but that non PI call on the opening drive, in a way, it cost us the game. Normally not a fan of blaming refs but in this case, proulx has a history of questionable calls vs the bombers... gonna be honest, second i heard he was the ref, i thought to myself, we are screwed, playing the riders and the refs. Proulx should not be allowed to ref another bomber game ever again. The history suggests there is an issue with him and the bombers for some unknown reason.

Noeller Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'm not one to complain about reffing, and certain, we lost that game all on our own...but man there were some AWFUL non-calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Holding is a reputation call in the CFL these days. Because the Riders o-line is known to be good they have a lot (nd I mean a LOT) more leeway with regards to how blatant is has to be to be called holding. It's not a conspiracy, it's just that the refs in the CFL are really bad. Floyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyOnTheSpot Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Either that or they want the free paninis that dressler is getting. Seriously I thought all free perks had to count against the cap. Wouldn't it be easy to provide use of a house and car to a player and not have it count otherwise?

no71 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Anyone read Sportcasting: The Hidden Influences Behind How Sports Are Played and Games Are Won The author argues (with evidence) that home field advantage in team sports is real and mostly attributable to refs or umpires favouring (unconsciously one hopes) the home team. Subjective calls like holding are most likely to be affected. I wish this theory worked in Winnipeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Regarding all the sask cap violations, gotta love it when you are making like 150,000 or more and you get a bunch of free 2-5 $ things. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subjective calls like holding are most likely to be affected. I wish this theory worked in Winnipeg. In the CFL I don't think it's about home vs. away teams, it's about reputation. DBs with all star accolades get away with a lot more interference than rookies because refs give name players the benefit of the doubt. Same thing with offensive lines. The ones with a good reputation get more leeway from the refs because of the reputation. It's not a new phenomenon just the way it is. With the Bombers having been such a joke the previous few years it's going to take time to get that reputation with the refs and start having them give us some leeway.

It's not a conspiracy, it's just that the refs in the CFL are really bad. Compeletly agree. The only thing I would add however is that Proulx seems to be the worst of a bad lot...having him officiate big games like the LDC isn't actually fair to him or the players/fans...it only exposes his incompetence to a much larger audience...it embarasses the CFL and Mr. Proulx personally...

I agree... I'm never one to blame a loss on the refs... this one was on us... but for that Sask o-line to go the entire game without getting called for holding once is an absolute sham....
