A spin off from the glove colour debate...

I apologise for having read Duck's post too quickly and having missed the last two words of this sentence "the Deck Ref may not be near the sin-bin when the time penalty is over". Having read Tuck's post I understand now what he's getting at.
I think that a similar problem to Tuck's arouse in Bari...

For me this raises a new point: shouldn't the time keepers be refs as well (not necessarily international quality refs) or at least someone with a sound notion of the rules of the game (and why the rules can be important)? Wouldn't they then have the inclination and authority to remind deck refs to let players out when they wonder away from the bin to monitor the game and forget about the player who's free to go back in the water?
