In private to a refereeing panel... maybe. In public to a partisan mob and straight after the game... awful idea. They're just people. Normal people jogging along behind elite athletes at 100mph for 90 minutes while 30000 people call them a wanker.
Bad decisions are part of the game and the price of keeping it quick and unpredictable. The alternative is videos and teams of referees and time outs and all that other rubbish.
It’s worked in rugby having refs mic’d up.
Rugby where there's no contentious decisions?
Where they change the rules every year and you can hear the players asking the ref what they're supposed to be doing?
Where they bottle 90% of decisions to the TMO and everyone sits there for 5 minutes waiting to find out if there's been a try...?
