There needs to be a pundits licence, likes the way there is a coaches licence.

Most of them do not actually understand the laws of the game or the guidelines given to the refs to administer during games. Pundits will see a decision that they don't like and say its wrong. When the referee actually did the correct thing, as per guidelines. This undermines everything that they are doing and deflects from the fact that the laws are inadequate and referee's have too many guidelines to adhere to. But that's the problem when you have people complaining about consistency.

You cannot have consistency and common sense. When one man's handball/foul, is another man's "play on'.
