Didn't take long for it this year ...

Ding's second shot

What's going on now though, ref should just say that's it get on.

My exact same thoughts...glad he finally did in the end though.

He was just excited to get one right for a change.

Good ref, stuck to it and Neil just had to get on with it, wonder what refs think about being queried - it's allowed but how long should a query go on for, should there be a limit and should players be told by WS not to go on and on but just continue the game once the ref has confirmed his decision or should long discussions be permitted?

Aussie Aussie Aussie! six, six nil!

[daffie]

Yup ref needs to be firm. I also think it's nice for a ref to allow some sort of discussion...as long of course if the player is reasonable as well and knows when to accept the ref's decision in due time. Leo did pretty well imo.

Aussie Aussie Aussie! six, six nil!

Btw what the crap is bbc thinking not airing any evening sessions this week?! Incredible! I am now officialy a Eurosport convert!

...should players be told by WS not to go on and on but just continue the game once the ref has confirmed his decision...

Yes I think they should, it's unsightly and doesn't reflect well on the game IMO.
