My word that was a terrible shot, how'd he even get up???

It was almost as bad as Travis Burns on Ben Crooks

Sorry Mr crooks

Wrong Crook(e)s, and innocent 'til otherwise and that.

It was a very bad one, but more of but more horribly clumsy than malicious. In some ways Wilkin's on Dobbo was more reprehensible.

We made them pay (eventually) so that is the main thing.

What?

Some bad shoulder charges by Saints today. Wilkin's on Dobson was a bad one also.

Must have hit him hard, Meli has dislocated his elbow.

It was bad but I don't think malicious, Meli has no form for that sort of thing.

For me it's a classic case of the attacking player stepping the last man and him instinctively throwing an arm out.

The replay was horrible viewing.

Tell that to Daniel Holdsworth. Meli has become quite a dirty player over the last few years.

Or simply an old fashioned "Stiff Arm"

deservedly got a straight red, however i blame Silverwood for allowing the Saints team to constantly get away with them in the first place... poor officiating...



And too the muppet quoting about ben crooks challenge...... not even in the same category ..... burns against crooks a lazy grab/slap from behind... Meli a straight oncoming stiff arm...... so please go to specsavers for a new pair of blinkers as the ones you have are obviously deficient

Did anyone notice what the Saints banner had written on it?
It was that far away that I could not read it.

was silverwood the ref today ? im shocked im sure wilkin and wellens were in charge.

the banner read "farther away from wembley then ever" i think

according to a rovers supporting mate at the game it said "If we were any further away we'd be at Langtree Park" or similar.

I know, I was just trying to be funny

Aye, and they would still have seen Meli's stiff arm.

Yup that's what it said. Chuckled at the Rovers chants that went up after. "Can you see the pitch from there" & "You should have watched it on the telly watched it on the telly"

i dont think the south stand view is any worse then headinley ,odsal or the boulevard not that we have to go there anymore

Then you've clearly never been to Odsal, Headingley or The Boulevard.

Oh dear - My high tackle was better than yours nah nah nah

The Boulevard was just as far away on the ends. The difference is that it was built up more so you could
stand higher up to get a better view.

Indeed, hence our South is worse, building a hill in front of a shallow terrace is unbelievably stupid.

then if you look at the pictures provided (thanks mighty f90) you will see im right out of interest have ever watched a game from the south stand if not you cant really comment can you

Do we have a hill in front of a shallow terrace?

I've walked round there when we were having the East extension done at the end of a game.

Anyway, this is pointless, let's agree to differ chaps.

Some idiot from widnes calls himself a fan tweeted hally so say he wishes Meli had tuk him out to the point of him staying down disgraceful
