I could go on, but the bloke makes me sick

Perhaps Damo could make us a list?

We have it at Odsal tomorrow and this bloke has cost me so many police finesover the years.

Crime of the century!

He's a referee.

I actually quite like him

Er . . . we don't.


Not really, Klein was more to blame, but anyway Ganson apologised like a man for what he did so that should be good enough except for grudge bearing pussies






That would be the f**k all Joe got banned for 2 matches for?


Wrong again. Only the timekeepers to blame for that one - and one of them is our own man.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but was this the same match where 'Big Joe' was sent off for leading with his elbow?

Well replace him then!

The opportunities are available!

I think he is a decent ref, one of the few with balls to show red when its needed

My main gripe with Ganson is that the game becomes all about him when he refs, especially on TV. If he's not the centre of attention he contrives to break his communication set so that the camera focusses on him, or he'll give an outrageous penalty to incur the wrath of the crowd.

Shame really as he's a pretty good ref otherwise.

or perhaps it was a player who gave away the outrageous penalty and it needed giving!!

No sorry retract that!

The players NEVER EVER do anything wrong

Never said it the hypothetical penalty shouldn't be awarded - it's the way Ganson does it to draw attention to himself that gets on my nerves.

He's ok, none of them are great but at least he's not afraid to make decisions.

So there was a clear breach of the laws requiring a penalty, and Ganson duly awards the penalty.

But he does it in a way that... what? No, you've lost me.

Is it just me or has no-one else noticed that ref's are ok as long as decisions are going against the opposition, when they're given against "our" team then the ref is inevitably w@nker, funny that.

It's just because he comes from St. Helens and we know how you all hate Saints.

By the way - He is the best ref that we have got at the moment.

Because he doesn't think he should pay for his boots.

Because he's a Saints fan and he ref's Saints matches. Conflict of interests anyone?

The most inconsistent ref there is also. See's what he wants when he wants and all he's bothered about is Ganson. Can’t wait till he retires. We can all pray he get’s caught doing Long in the betting shop!

Me too

Is there any point in bothering?
It's like trying to explain to someone who starts a sentence "I'm not racist, but..." how what they have said is racist.

What a load of tosh!

As replied to the original post.

Get out there and do it yourself cos your statements say you can.

The opportunities are available.

dont you see, its the flamboyant manner in which he withdraws and blows his whistle to give the penalty, all in the name of drawing attention to himself. I'm also lead to believe he is behind the orange referees shirts this year...just so everyone spends all the game looking at him.

Now it makes sense

I actually had my picture taken with Stevie G after a Quins game at the Stoop.

Top bloke who I also think is a decent ref.

And the top line of this message provides proof that I am not the man himself.

I'm not his mother either!!!
