Refereeing

I normally treat criticising referees with the same fearful distance as religion or my girlfriend's cooking, but when Anderson Talisca kicked Corey Brown in the head and had the foul given in his favour, well that's blatant ranga abuse and I simply won't stand for it. 

No matter how ridiculous a hairstyle Talisca has CHOSEN and how little red-hair Brown has on that lunar eclipse of a scalp, the referee still has a responsibility to protect the most vulnerable members of Victory society. 

In truth, it was just one of a number of shocking calls (a nearly comatose throw-in also worth mentioning) that soured otherwise praise-worthy refereeing performances in this year's ACL.
