Yet another huge game decided by poor reffing and no replay review.

How many times do we have to see a game DECIDED by the refs/umpires before it gets fixed? The referees admit after the game they blew the call (no-call). They review every freaking out of bounds play in the last seconds but not fouls???

I think that is the worst thing that happens in sports: when a bad official's call determines the outcome of the game.

It happens in many different ways. I remember watching a playoff baseball game many years ago. It was the ninth inning, runners on, the whole bit. The plate umpire missed two calls where the video showed that the pitches were right on the corner at the player's knees, and were called balls. The pitcher was obviously pissed, but he had no choice but to throw one right down the middle, with predictable results. It decided the game.

I remember watching the Shaq-led Lakers in his prime years. If the refs allowed him to get away with pushing defenders out of the way, the Lakers were unstoppable. IF they called his constant offensive fouls, they were beatable.
