France in Focus

Not sure if anyone has covered this and I must admit to having had to listen to some of the France RSA match and even missed a bit as I was on the road and in the Tunnel, but the French captain has been criticising the refereeing of the game. Now I was always told not to do that and the French have a proud record of bitching about l’ arbitrage.
Should they bitch, is it childish, just unnecessary or were there real issues? I saw none but do feel that the game’s rules have got so niggly that noone understands them.
Any thoughts, folks?

I can't say that I noticed anything flagrant from the ref, having watched every second of the match. The French do have such a record - it's all about finding someone (else) to blame. Too many unforced handling errors would be top of my list.
