And I think too many times the referees look like they're giving the benefit of the doubt to the good player.
The referee tilted his chair on to its back legs, and looked moodily critical from the one to the other.
The referee looked round with relaxed features and laughing eyes.
As with the coaches' challenges, the referee will look at a sideline television monitor and decide whether the original call should stand.
The dull-witted referee looks back just too late to see what everyone else has seen clearly.
It may even breed an elbow in the short ribs when the referees aren't looking.
Foul moves can be made when the referee is not looking but lead to a loss of 'chance' (or life) if seen.
But cheap shots when the referee isn't looking takes the fun out of the game.
The referee looked once more at each of them, and made sign to begin.
The referee looks at John and then he shakes his head.
