    I didn't say it was fool proof, just maybe a way forward....?

    Thought the reference to the RBR threads and scorecard differentials was a dig at my post :lol:

    It needs sky to put pressure on the bbboc and promoters to which judges they do and do not use.

    That is the only way forward, I cannot see how it will work otherwise.

    My question, who will step up to the plate and seriously critique the poor standard of British officiating, Sky's Ringside or Boxnation's Bunce Boxing Hour?

    It has marred too many fights for too long and nothing ever seems to be done about it. Fighters deserve better, than to suffer **** scorecards or bull**** stoppages etc, and Board need to be doing something about this.

    We need new faces, the same old farts are on every card.

    Wouldn't mind it at all, This 5 star business can they lose it?..

    I personally think as fans we have to keep voicing our disapproval at bad calls via e-mail/letter to the board.

    I think it's to pally pally for my liking we need new blood, I'm more then willing to do the course and become a ref but i remember searching the board's page and it's ridiculously disorganized compared to say the FA's.

    No mate. It was a general comment. TBH I've whinged on about it for years, I think its very easy for us all to agree on those RbR threads because we can "see" each others card and then think anyone who disagrees is automatically wrong.

    I've never done this but am gonna make it a point to start voicing my opinion on the blatantly bad stuff.

    I agree, it's a tricky business and subject to a lot of intangibles which can have an affect.

    Maybe we can use this thread as a reference and start monitoring the blatant inconsistancies should they arise.

    About the RBR threads, I cant keep up with them when I'm watching a fight, I can maybe make 2 or 3 posts tops, multi-tasking ****s me up I need to focus on the fight, whats goin on in the corner etc :?

    I send an email after every blantant robbery. Ive had **** all back but it aint going to stop me sending them (even if it is fruitless). I even tried getting a group together so we could fill their inbox but most people had given up before it began

    ill rake the thread out in abit. i should have bumped it everytime there was a bad decision in hindsight but Ive been pretty busy recently and havent had as much spare time as usual.

    There was a load of amateur coaches up for it too which would add a bit clout having people in the game behind it.
