thought sinfield was really polite to be honest, far more than i expected, rovers were so lucky with penalties etc.

Tickles me everytime they're on tv - that's their favorite song!!

while you may think i'm not strictly neutral the penalty count was very one sided, i watched on sky and rovers should of been penalised for offside at least 3 more times and a couple of flops. I don't have a problem with sinfield pointing this out to the ref and would expect radford to do the same as our captain if it happened to us.

And you believe everything Gollum says. Think you should listen for yourself before you assume things that that clueless berk spouts on about, you may then avoid looking like a berk yourself

ahhh didums.



dave m complains about ref shocker

Think about it - if any other team captain had said that, they would have been binned. I agree with Sinfield, Bentham was giving us a lot of penalties, but letting a lot of important decisions that could have changed the game go to waste.

Dobson - good kicking but at the wrong time, especially in the last 5 minutes. We got gifted possession on their line, and kicked uselessly on the 3rd tackle. Webster's effort at a try was appalling - he should have taken the tackle, or ran the other way.

rubbish.

If it was FC against Leeds, you lot would be up in arms about that decision.

a lot of captains are always on at the ref your only complaining because you heard it.

i dont moan about refs.

But do they point AND shout? Do they do it 4 times within a proximity to the referee where they can hear it?

Sinfield SHOULD have been off- no ifs, no buts. Referee's are just afraid to sin bin Leeds players, and that is half the reason for the penalty count in our favour.

yes happens quite alot paul, wellens, harris and many more are always getting accussed of 'reffing' the games.

are you saying half your penalties were from leeds gobbing off at the ref?

Diskin appeared to have a fair bit to say too.

I thought there were a good few players from Leeds constantly questioning the ref and someone should have been binned for it. I dont have a problem with the captains being able to get away with it a little but any back chat or abuse should result in other players being sin binned.

I thought the ref could have stamped out Leeds constantly off-side alot earlier than he did but apart from that I thought Bentham had a decent game.

what was the final penalty count please

*Ahem* Paul McShane!?

bentham raped leeds all night, sinfield was totally justified in his comments

well said

stop being gay.

WTF are you rattling about? You had a myopic ref on your side all night and still lost. Jeez, the paranoia of these small clubs!

he didnt ask a question, he told the ref, pointed his finger at him and then spat his dummy out, no respect at all

So they weren't persistantly off side then?

great stuff from sinfield!! the great captain's of the past all ran the game!! hanley ran the game for a decade and wally lewis like wise down under.

rovers came out on top in the pen count so its not that bigger deal.

perhaps he had a point?

this is such a blinkered view you need to get over it. i suppose all those passes were foooooooooooorrrrrrrrwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrdddddddddddd

you fans are a joke, your worse than us and thats saying something

I have no problem with the captain approaching the ref or any other player for that matter in an appropriate and respectful manner to query a decision but standing there pointing and spitting at him is not a respectful manner and it is not something we who referee at the grass routes level during the winter want to see. Kids see this and think it is ok to act like that and we should not be seen to condone it though I am not surprised that some do. It has far reaching consequences. Regardless of anyone thinking he might have had a point there are ways and means of making that point and this was not the way to go about it. You can be abusive without actually swearing at the ref and his body language was abusive. If I had been approached in that manner he would have definitely sat down for 10. Just because he thinks he is some kind of superstar it shouldn't make any difference.
