if its the same incident, we never was awarded a penalty before penalised

Exactly.

Long was almost decapitated in the act of attempting to score a try and did not get a penalty for it.

That'll teach him for sportingly gettting up as soon as he was able and not trying to milk it.

me too m8,well if i was playing tonight it would of been my last match cos id of killed him lol

I thought he'd signalled a penalty to us?

Anyway, fitzgibbon arguing cost us any chance we had

By losing us 20 meters? It was the last tackle, the ref stopped the game because it was the handover. The only thing the back chat penalty cost us was 20 meters field position.

Cost us the opportunity to pressure them on their own line and try and force the mistake

Didn't cost us the game though.

Correct, we had set up defensivly for the restart

Some cheap pens given away but the frustration came from abject refereeing. I don't know how they managed not to chin the ref.

Our indiscipline cost us the game. If we'd not lost our heads we would have won

So? You have to deal with it. He was as bad for cas and they kept their cool for the most part

I'm fairly sure the penalty count was in our favour.

And? We conceded a try when radford was off and another on the back of 2 penalties. We then played 15 minutes without our star scrum half. Indiscipline cost us the game

Discipline is something the head coach has no control over.


Isn't it?

We had far worse call than Cas, the other thing is that cost us the game was not taking our chances, we had enough of them again.

And we still had chances to win it. Not taking our chances and not defending our try line cost us. Just like it has most of the season.

Perhaps Will Sharp cost us the game and not going for two points in the first half when we had the chance.

If we're going down that road, Tickle is to blame for missing his kick.

Actually it was my fault for not wearing my lucky pants. Unfortunately I can't remember which pair I wore in London, so worst case it could be 21 matches until the next win.

You're sacked.

That's the road I'm going down, it was an easy two points.

Total garbage we didn't get a penalty that's why he was ed off.

I was furious tonight, I cannot find it in me to blame anyone but the ref.

That said, Sharp is an utter Nomad and needs to sort it out.
We still don't look like scoring when in the 20. I just don't believe we have the nounce to do it. No change then...........and we had chances to be fair.

Maybe I saw it wrong but I'd be surprised if that was the case. The count against just in the second half was 7-1 when I stopped counting.
