Good lord we have been given the abomination that is Ganson.

Huddersfield by 3278552

Once was bad enough.

Sorry, my phone froze when posting.

Anyone else think that we will be talking about Gansons theft of two points after the game Friday?

We haven't won under him in over a year now.

I will never forgive him for robbing us at Cardiff

Doesn't really fill you with confidence when you see his name as the ref does it? Still, we must rise above his lack of knowledge of the rules. But I'd be worried he's in mourning cos he's special friend's gone back to Aus. No more whispering sweet nothings in his ear during games for old Stevie

If his performance at HQ for the wakey game is anything to go by get ready for a lot of whistle from the tango terror!!

Must say I don't like Ganson as a ref. Unlike refs like Thaler he seems to always impose his personality on the game and become the centre of attention. Whilst recognising that all refs need to be egomaniacs to a certain extent I do worry Ganson will get his head stuck under the posts one day.

I'd rather the post got stuck in his head. But that's just my opinion

If he does, I'd bet it will be your posts rather than the opposition. T-R-Y.

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.
