Quote ="Karen"This was the example I was going to give! I was sat on the upper tier with my lad. The FC fan next to us needed a new pair of sunnies as his went flying over the balcony and to this day I still don't know how we didn't follow them!!
I remember looking at my lad and saying, "Karma's a b*tch son, karma's a b*tch"

The rain falls on the just and the unjust alike, Karen.
I wouldn’t blame Albert Kelly’s injury woes and Hull’s current dreadful form on heavenly retribution for events in April, would I? No, it’d be beneath me.
Dobson’s pass to Lovegrove, at Magic 2012, suggested Ganson had some issues with depth perception.
We scored an important try against Leigh in the qualifiers off a really, really scruffy ptb last year. There might have been a case for interference, but the play-on was strange.
I can’t even remember the game, and it didn’t effect the result, but me and the guy next to me did a shocked double take when a Craig Hall touchline conversion was awarded despite looking to have gone about 3 yards wide from where we were stood, a few years back.
I think there’s a story about a ball bouncing off the roof of a stand and back into play, in a Rovers cup game against Swinton, back in the 50s or something. I’ll see if I can dig it up. Can’t recall whether it favoured us.
Edit - i’ve either misrembered or made up the last. I might have been thinking of a challenge cup semi-final replay vs Oldham at Station Road, where we were saved by a controversial abandonment for bad light in extra time when smoke from a steam engine that had pulled into the nearby station blew across the pitch. Replays and steam engines - evocative of a different age, if nowt else.
Edit - the ball bouncing out of play (not necessarily on the roof of the stand, although I prefer that version
) was for Alex Murphy to score against us a couple of years later.
