If you think about it, a ref makes a decision that's based on what he believed to be right at the time. So to want to even things up, somehow he'd have to decide later that he had been wrong earlier on during the game, and then come up with a way to put it right.
Do any of you ref? It would be good to hear the thoughts of other refs. It works also be fascinating to hear what people think could be done to improve reffing standards. More and more are packing it in, and that could have a long term impact on the quality of officiating we see (and some might say it's bad enough already - looking at you Darren Deadman).
