When you sign up to be a ref yes I am sure people are aware they are signing up for a task with massive amounts of influence. However just because someone volunteer to help with an event doesn't mean they sign up to be a punching bag when something goes wrong. Yes they have huge responsibilities, but you should not criticize someone for a mistake that was made due to a faulty system. If you can conclusively go and say "this ref is biased against us" then yes that is a fault with the ref and that should be dealt with separately then making a mistake.
I refuse to call someone bad or evil because they make a mistake because Lorde* knows I make them all the time
It is when you have a consistent choose to make those same mistakes when I question your intent.
