I still don't understand how what 4153 did that was considered sheilding however I do support the decision because that was the best decision that they could make. I was just trying to get a better understanding of why therefs made the call they did.
And I do know what it feels like when the refs make a wrong decision. To base my credibility on that is unreliable.

Thank you for clarifying what you are advocating for. In past posts it did not appear that was what you were advocating. I respect that you don't want what you post to reflect on your team. I know a head ref won't always make the correct call (but that is what the question box is for) but i believe it isn't unreasonable to expect any ref to know all the rules, and the occasional mis-call will be allowed as long as it either 1, doesn't effect the outcome of a match, or 2, is allowed to be questioned in the Q&A box. If the refs don't know the rules then there isn't anything preventing people from committing fouls that should have been called because a ref doesn't know a rule.
This is my opinion. Either know all the rules, or don't ref. It is that simple.
