Personally I'll be blaiming Deacon.

Fortunately for you he also hates the Giants.

Whats the odds Menzies is sent off within ten minutes for a totally made up offence like Big Joe?

Look on the bright side. We already have our excuses ready.

He hates us more though.

What have we done wrong to get Ganson so early in the season?

It's payback for moaning about the Quins game.

under new system we only get him 3 times in first 21 matches so at least its one out of the way.

So we've definitely lost 3 of our first 21.

Thats a good point but if silverwood isn't re-instated that all goes t#ts up

Anyone know the details of Silverwood's dire crime ?

Supplying he details of the other refs to an outside body without their or the RFL's permission.

Do you know if he's likely to be re-instated?

Your guess is as good as anyones.

Whats the seriousness of Silverwood's charge?
I mean supplying what details that are already not in the public domain?
FFS what details can he supply about other refs that is so serious that he can get suspended from his full time employment.
Has he done something horrendously wrong or is he getting stitched up ?
Not a great ref but thats immaterial in this context.

Any of it. It's not his to give.

That is not an answer to my query, as to severity of sanction.
If I gave details of a co-worker's private details, I would not expect to be suspended from my job. I would expect a proportionate sanction.
What information did Silverwood pass on and to who?

Yes it is. Personal data supplied to employers for their own administrative purposes is subject to the Data Protection Act. It can only be used for those administrative purposes, and can only be kept for as long as is necessary to carry out those tasks. Any breach of that opens the employer to prospective legal action from the people effected, as well as a fine.



If I had clear proof that it was you I'd fire you on the spot. I'm the employer. That makes me the data steward charged with protecting that data and you, a trusted employee, have for your own personal reasons chosen to expose me to the full force of the law. You've also made yourself a pariah amongst your co-workers and made it impossible for anyone to trust you, least of all me. If your main job was doing something like exercising good judgement then, well.... Get off my property.

Good luck with the wrongful dismissal case.



Beyond what was reported on The Times blog we don't know. If what has been reported is correct I don't expect to see him again.

Me neither. You really can't mess about with personal data. Its an instant dismissal in a lot of cases.

Are we talking names and addresses here, or DNA samples? Are we going to see a Boys from Brazil scenario?

How did he get their DNA? My mind is boggling....

He told people where Ganson hid his opticians statement, proving that he is medically blind and he gives decisions on sound waves. That's why millenium magic happened, when Tansey ran 5 seconds early he thought it was Sinfield running to take the kick.

Who has deleted my Ganson posts?????

All I said was the truth

That was the problem
