Or do those who bay for blood when a ref ignores incidents actually enjoy the atmosphere it creates, and would claim that the game was turning into one for 'softies' if the aggression and cheating were taken out of it? Serious question!

Good post !
Some can be over zealous - some not strong enough - without the match officials we wouldn't have a game to watch.
Who's more likely to attract a yellow or worse for us ?
Fondop seems to pick them up with annoying ease.
Pearson for all his good attributes picks up too many avoidable ones.
When a player is suspended he is no use nor ornament to the cause.
Every booking and every point count at the end of the season.
