Mainly with aliberts actions in the red card,he thinks it was a head clash that knocked kirke out, but is not happy with the sending off, "he was put on report and sent off retrospectively,im not sure you can go back and send someone off for something you think happened 6 or 7 minutes ago". I agree with him on that.
Also he was critical of the way we switched off in the last 15, to be fair they had done a lot of defending and were prob knackered

If as thought it is proved to be a clash of heads then it should be taken further!! Heads at the CORRUPT and BENT RFL should roll, end of!!!

and mcdermott wasnt complaining too much about the incident either.......

Apparently various club officials watched the video quite a few times. The only conclusion they came to was that it was a clash of heads.

Albert was stood 2 yards away and waved play on!

And to say I've stuck up for him in the past!

It was Sinfield who got LOD sent off. He was on at Halibut all the time Kirke was receiving treatment. Weak ref, player who gets away with chewing on at officials week in, week out, only ever going to be one outcome.

Strange how the same bloke gets sent off wrongly twice against the same club? Human error pffffff t.co/MyTqhJgD Looks like accidental clash of heads to me

Diabolical reffing that.

To be fair the players did a lot of defending, particularly straight after the sending off - we were pinned in our own 20 for a good 15 mins or so. The fatigue had clearly set in for the last 15, my worry now is whether or not they can recover sufficiently for the Hull game.

It's not often that I will criticise a referee, it's the toughest job on the pitch, but what happened yesterday was out-right disgusting. I was very disappointed with the way he essentially changed his mind twice over a period of time (play on, warning, sending off).

The team should take a lot of confidence from that performance, I though Danny Brough was sensational and our forward pack played their best game of the season. In particular, Eorl Cratree and Brett Ferres were both outstanding.

If we play like that in the play-offs we will be very hard to beat.

We've had this twit for 3 home games running now and each time he has been booed off the field at half and full time, surely this says something about his performances, i cant ever recall any team having the same ref so many times on the trot.
Worse thing is he is getting worse !!! he didnt make that decision yesterday, neither did the touchjudges, someone else made it and he decided to go along with it rather than show his supposed authority..........he is a poor ref and last night proved also a very weak one when it comes to making and keeping to his original decision.

What makes it worse is he got the decision wrong anyway. We should've had head and feed at the scrum cos Kirke knocked on. In the last three home games Alibert has failed to penalise 6 or 7 knock ons. 3 of these have led to tries against us. It's not that he hasn't seen them he has signalled they have gone backwards when they haven't. It's got beyond a joke now.

I defended his performance against the Catalans but he makes too many mistakes be it to us or them and whilst his fitness is exemplary his decision making is not at present but the problem lies in the system where there seems no quality control of referees and apart from his one match ban he carries on week in week out, perhaps he needs to sit out the play offs and come back more on the ball next season as I think he has had a bad few months compared to the few years he has been in SL when I would not say he is better or worse than the other refs.

Quote ="Gi4nts"Strange how the same bloke gets sent off wrongly twice against the same club? Human error pffffff t.co/MyTqhJgD Looks like accidental clash of heads to me'" that shows what a garbage decision it was to send him off well dont odonnell bring back the biff!!!!!!

dont think theres enough refs to go around nowadays..thats why teams end up with certain refs quite often... seems alibert is ours!

To be honest I've seen quite a few Champ and Champ 1 games both in person this season and on Premier Sports and the standard there is no worse than SL and to be honest there is no reason not to make the pool of refs bigger and perhaps drop Alibert down to do a game or two there without losing face.

There is more pressure at SL level for sure but a bigger pool would help judge who should do the big games and who should do one or two a month at the top level and then a few lower down to hone their performance.

I guess one issue could be fitness and the speed of the game but that's something that can be worked on.

LOD sent off twice now v leeds for doing nowt!!!

If he gets a third perhaps he should be allowed to take the Ref's head home on a stick

Maybe he should be allowed to just have a "do what you want" game v Leeds to make up for it lol

Now that would be a laugh!! I can imagine a certain ryan bailey would be handing in his sicknote for that game!

As usual then?

...again!!!
