Just watched the full game again..& he was really poor towards kr he made some very dodgy decisions against them..Caro been offside was the only 1 he got right..kr could have beaten us by 20 points! we was lucky to stay in the game to the end.

childs wasn't the VR

I don't think they got any of the no try decisions wrong

Try it without the hangover.

Childs was his normal useless self and both sides suffered for it. The VR got every decision right bar the last one about whether Whiting touched the Burns' drop goal attempt.

He sent a lot of decisions he could have made to them..the shoulder charge when larroyer scored was nothing..they happen every week, welham tackled in the air,theres a few it was a dodgy performance imho.

Dont drink bud.. & we shouldnt give blatant penalties away to put ourselves in drop goal situations should we?

The shoulder charge is illegal and people get penalties and even bans for similar every week. And it was directly involved in the build-up to the try.

Welham tackled in the air was marginal, and not what the VR had been asked to rule on.

Perfectly summed up. Maybe the OP made the crucial mistake of playing the video back with the sound turned up and actually believed the total garbage being spouted into his ears.

A shoulder charge is a shoulder charge and illegal. Blame burns not child. I also thought that it looked pretty clear that welham had 1 foot on the ground whilst he was tackled but we're talking split seconds in the decision and he certainly wasn't clearly in the air. If I was some kind of masochist I'd watch it back and come up with some decisions that went against us but I think I'll go for a dump instead

No we shouldn't - although I thought the penalty was a tad harsh given what Rovers had got away with all night. But the fact is we successfully dealt with the situation and if not for the VR would have had possession on our 20 with seconds to go.

So if you want to whine about the VR you could make a case for his one mistake handing Rovers the points and denying us a draw.

watch it again with no black & white binoculars on...worse shoulder contact gets ignored.

So because mistakes happen in other games it's a bad thing that the officials got it right last night?



You're funny.

No i am just trying to say the ref kept us in the game at times.

Did he penalise them for offside at all? Did us.
And how many times did he warn Poore & Weyman to get off the tackle quicker? Still allowed them to do it.

You might want to compare penalties for offside and interference before making that claim. He was equally bad for both teams and the VR got almost everything right.

I don't understand why some people need to self-flagellate after a loss. We were crap, we got what we deserved. End of.

He is right. The ref kept you in it.

bottom line the best team won

We was crap..out enthused!

No argument there.

But the fact remains he could easily have penalised them for offside, laying on and lashing out in the tackle but chose not to.

OP like Sandercock and Hudgell needs to learn the rules.

I know the rules, the ref was bad for kr thats all im saying.. or am i not allowed an opinion?

The ref kept us in the game.

Dont post that on here..you will get shot down bud.

We got 50 50s don't think got much wrong and was as good as I've seen him. 10 bit skinny though
shoulder charge was a pen but unlucky too, an element of self preservation
Caro offside
Thought whelam was very close to in the air but toes maybe just hitting the floor.
Thought loveGrove call was right, on reverse angle he never has a solid handle on the ball and Jamie didn't have to work to hard for the ball.
One of the biggest calls of the night was saying whiting touched the ball. Couldn't see it myself

On the burns shoulder charge decision. Wasn't the try going to be ruled out for a double movement anyway?

Funny what people see. I saw Miller looking at the oncoming defender rather than the ball. Miller soiled himself. At this point Burns should have stood still rather than attempt to murder Miller. Then they could have collided in a far more dangerous way.
As for other decisions. As I've posted elsewhere Shaul is in no way trying to get the ball when Lovegrove gets over the line. If you slow it down enough Lovegrove passes him a note too apologising for getting over the line.

Caro's off side was an incredible spot from the officials. Never seen that before.

You can't be marginally off the ground. Physics doesn't allow it. Welham was in the air.

Your forwards didn't get on top because they were outplayed by Wayman Hodgson Costigan Cox Poore Horne etc.
Thought Bowden looked a great prospect.
Heard you'd signed Gareth Ellis. When does he turn up?
