Hull FC v Hull Kingston Rovers 6pm (SKY)
Ref P Bentham TJ J Child TJ R Hicks RR P Brooke RTJ R Cowling VR I Smith TK TBC MC T Randerson

Let's hope he's not replaced at the last minute...

Edit: Oh, crap, just seen the VR.

oh great!!!!!!!!!

the TJ is a plonker as well...

Pity its not Thaler



TBH it could only have been Bentham as he has been the only ref so far this season to show he can actually run a high pressure game.

I was happy until I saw the VR.

Lets hope Bentham is as good as he was last derby.

Probably the best choice I reckon.

Good choice of Ref but the VR is quite worrying

If he's seen the footage of last Saturday he may think he owes us a favour or two.

No probably not.

Very happy with him, but will I be on sunday morning.

You would think so wouldnt you but i doubt it as much as you do

Shame it couldn't have been Thaler

Lets hope there are not any VR decisions.

Agreed

radford might want to sit nxt to the video ref

so we get screwed again

Hopefully he'll want to redeem himself after making a total balls up.

Apparently Justine was on the Look North news at 6-25am this morning complaining about Bentham as appointed ref.
Interviews been taken off the last couple of bulletins but it's well out of order.
Unfair pressure on Bentham, should be a fine for that, and a good talking to Big Time Charlie from the powers that be.

yer heard that report but on Blunderside and trustin Justin said " i will be making a phone call to Stuart Cummings about the ref Phil Bentham as the last time we played FC at the KC stadium alot of penalties were given to the home side which we felt were swayed by the home fans, and we dont want that to happen again."

Trustin Justin is getting desparate now wot about their fans at caravan park dont they sway the ref too??
its wot happens at all grounds the home fans tend to get on the back of the ref, you have to learn to live with it.

Justine.s just been on the radio saying he's rang Stuart Cummings up about not letting the referee be swayed by the crowd.According to him the last time he was.I never thought i would hear a coach go on the radio and spout this drivel,obviously he's not used to big crowds making a lot of noise.He must have ear plugs in when his mob play at caravan park,no shouting at the ref there i bet.

Justine is so pathetic

Well, if one thing was proven on Saturday, its that Ian Smith isn't swayed by the crowd

How pathetic is that next he will be crying saying that his players are being tackled too hard or that someone stood on Newtons hand and scraped off his nail varnish

sorry but please tell me yr joking
