Although not a single coiffured hair was out of place!

Barrow are absolutely brilliant at reffing the game in their favour. Time refs grew wise to their jumping up and down and waving their arms in unison.

The Bulls full match is out now
To me it looks like Doro gets elbow/forearm to face before the red card. Didn't think Griffiths had the best game.

Very difficult to see what Doro did to deserve a red card from that video.

Barrow players all jumping about trying to influence the ref as usual.

That's what I thought. I'm not sure he would have been sent off without everyone in a Barrow shirt making out like he'd stabbed him making the ref's mind up for him.

Very poor referee.

If Doro's defence is going to involve claiming he was defending himself against the deliberate elbow to the jaw by the Barrow player, would we as a club have to report the player, to help Doro?

I'd be interested to hear what the ref and touch judge saw. They were nearer than the camera viewpoint. If I was Doro I'd say any head movement was instinctive movement away as a result of being repeatedly elbowed in the face.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Make the match officials get changed in the pavilion and walk through the crowd. In fact, the first time I suggested it was after Steve Ganson sent Joe Vagana off on his return to Odsal after he made a of it at Cardiff, purely to show us who was boss.

That would nip this sort of thing in the bud

Update: Doro gets a 3 match ban. Fucking s it's as corrupt as . That ref had a shocker and got bullied by the Barrow players.

s

As if the swear filter picks up s, s but not dicks and s.

Only reason he has got a ban is because there is a bit of blood. Would love to know how a panel can watch that replay and not cite the player who began using his elbow into the face of Doro.

Doro will miss a couple now plus a reserve game but a break will also do him good as he has been immense this season - real workhorse for us.

Just watched game again and what an horrible g*t Stack is. Same as last year, niggle in tackle and constant complaining to ref to influence him. And it workes.

Git is putting it nicely. I’d say he’s a total dick bellend prick house cock!

Arsewipe flap stroker

They were backing up a referee.

They can get to !

Piss poor referee

The swear filter putting in more work than Samy Kibula!

It's shame we can't amend the swear filter to include our own suggestions. For instance I thought the Ref was totally Lauaki. Didn't know his Green from his elbow. He can get to Orford as far as I'm concerned.

Agree about Stack, wasn't just moaning about every decision. It was way OTT and far too aggressive towards the officials. Arms outstretched and screaming at the ref and touch judge. It was quite visible on the highlights this worked with Griffiths owing up after a rant from Stack.

Disappointing thing is Griffiths is one of the full-time refs and an experienced one and spent far too much time having pally conversations with the Barrow players while being told by them when to blow for a penalty.

Wank stain

It’s the words that make it through that get me.

It’s really weak officiating the ref should tell him to shove it. Penalise them and then march them back. I’m sure the ref wouldn’t allow it if he had to walk back through the crowd to get changed.

Those were days.

Can't imagine the likes of Robin Whitfield would've put up with all that arm waving and appealing. I remember him sending Ellery Hanley off for far less.

Can't be long before a player thinks 'He's at it again, I'm gonna get set off and banned so may as well level the properly'. Can't come too soon

Unfortunately the modern game is such that natural justice isn't meted out in this way. Instead it's down to the ref to be more forceful and make sure that players know they're in charge and that all the waving arms around and appealing for a decision won't make any difference. The ref last Sunday was very weak in this department. Barrow have a clear gameplan to put pressure on the ref and to an extent it worked.

Lamping someone only plays into their hands. Doro fell for the old pea and thimble trick which is a pretty old tactic albeit one that can be tried without fear of being smacked as often nowadays.

And awarded a Neil summers try 2 metres short of the line at wakey for which I'll always fondly remember Robin.

Maybe he was making up for the Hull KR walk off debacle at that match?
