       In football International referees are required to speak a quite
       high level of English, is it not the same in rugby?
       UEFA & FIFA seminars/training camps are all held in English.

       I believe English is the prescribed lingua franca, with ironic
       and glorious contradistinction, for football and rugby but I was
       hugely impressed with Luke Pearce the other Saturday speaking
       with members of the France team in French.

       It was not what was being said, so much the tone and almost bite
       behind it. Gauzerre has a decent grasp of the English language,
       better than my French. It was how it was being used that
       bothered me, dismissive as opposed to decisive.

       I entirely agree with you RCG.  It's the same in pretty much
       every walk of life and refereeing is no exception. Those without
       a natural authority try to manufacture it and most of the time
       it comes across as tetchy and irritable. Whether or not the
       actual words are used, or just demeanour displayed, but those in
       authority who have to declare " I'm in charge " seldom are.

       Football could, if willing, learn many things from rugby.
       Referees talking to players as Gauzerre did is not one of them.

       The Times today reports that Pascal Gauzere has publicly
       admitted his mistakes in not allowing England time to re-group
       and defend properly and not calling the knock on.  Luke's Gospel
       chapter 15  Verse 7.  PGMOL please note.

       And as a result he will be more respected rather than maligned.
       Brings clarity to the situation, ensuring any repeat does not
       happen.
       Proactivity, get a clarification out there, kill the story.
       Simples 😆

       I entirely concur with that assessment RCG.  The PGMOL's stance
       of insisting on Omerta for its match officials is certainly
       counter-productive in being so defensive and because it closes
       all proper scrutiny and explanations comes close to bringing the
       game into disrepute.

       Not sure I agree.  It should not be swept under the carpet
       because he has confessed he was wrong.
       If  he is not up to the pressure at the top level he should be
       removed and the committee that put him in that position should
       be looked at.
       On the other hand credit to him for his statement, but it does
       not explain why he did it. Was it blind panic, pressure from one
       team or some other reason that it would be unacceptable to name
       ?

       Certainly not swept under the carpet but until one admits to an
       error then one cannot hope to learn from it to make sure it
       doesn't happen again. Of course there are some people who, while
       acknowledging error, seem incapable of learning from it and
       therefore become repeat offenders. The proper agreed
       disciplinary process should then be employed.

       Interesting article from will greenwood on sky website where he
       says
       Quote
       But Pascal Gauzere has history. It was a couple of years ago
       when Watson was sin-binned that he allowed Dan Biggar to do
       exactly the same thing, and the law in that instance does say
       that if you've sin-binned a player, you can't play quickly and
       have to allow him off.
       "He's compounded the error he made two years ago.
       Unquote.
