It wasnt obstruction because the Rovers player actually went for the tackle - you see his arms wrapped around the players. As for the rest, laughable really

Come on Craig just admit you lost it fair and square, now stop sulking, you'll feel better if you smile

All I am trying to do is point out the fact that Thaylor has it in for Rovers and apart from that the standard of refereeing is at the lowest standard I have ever seen in my 50 years of watching rugby league if this embarrass rovers supporters then I am sorry, it just goes to show that most people who watch the game now do not know what they are watching.

Great to see the bitterness stretch to a second day for some.

I demand a replay!

Penalty on half time - with Hodgson laid on Ellis - you get the penalty and kick at goal.

2nd half, Arundel adjudged to be laid on the defender and told to get up.

Yeah he really has it in for you

The only person who's struggling with what happened yesterday, is you mate.

1 spotted forward pass for FC = 1
2 spotted forward passes for KR = 2

Not sure where 12 and 4 come from. Unless you're going by the number of shouts of "forward" from the East stand. In which case 112 would be more accurate.

Are the "obstructions" included in the penalty counts? If not then they aren't obstructions.

And it's Thaler.

And if you take of the 2 points Rovers got from the penalty they were awarded when Ellis got pinged for interfering (I belive there was a rovers player sat on him at the time that impeded his ability to move out the ruck area) Rovers would still have lost.

Got to love bilge like this, just brightens up an already lovely sunny day!

I haven't laughed so much since I stopped reading the Beano!!

Top marks that man.

Lock it.

90% of Dobson's passes to the left edge are forward but let's forget those shall we



Most forward pass yesterday was Burns to the ground about 5 yards in front of Gleeson which was ignored.

As was Burns launching a punch at Shaul when getting up to play the ball under our posts. THALER ignored it. You got a penalty for Miller being offside and scored on the next set.

Cheer up Craig

Yes but if Mr Shaul had decided to go out with the lads instead of having a fumble on a bench in West Park with the missus, then young Jamie wouldn't have been conceived and hence the try yesterday would never have been scored.

The above statement I made sounds a more plausible excuse for losing then what the OP has said. I do cringe at some of the rubbish my fellow Rovers fans post sometimes.

So last weeks edition was your last then

Well said. We all have them though. Gives everyone a chuckle, mind you.

Wow that's some response. I'm mortally offended.

Oh dear. You conceded 32 points in a single half. A ref will never ever be that bad that he'll be responsible for 32points in 1half! Get a grip.

As a rovers fan I didn't like losing yesterday. That being said, the best team won on the day (hard to admit but true) and secondly I have yet to see a referee take the field with the premeditated intention to favour one team over the other. If we are being honest then Thaler is probably the best ref in the league at the moment, certainly better than Silverwood and Bentham. The refs make mistakes but not as many as the players do, this was alluded to by CS in his post match interview where he stated "individual errors cost us dear". I'm not a ref and wouldn't want to be one but can everyone just get off their backs. As someone smarter than me once said "control the controllable" and "the teams performance should be good enough to take the ref out of the equation".

I'll further annoy my fellow KR fans by saying good luck at Wembley FC, as they are representing our county against the vastly inferior county of Lancashire.

What? You've still got a subscription?

What really surprised me about yesterday was the fact that I thought rovers would make us battle hard for the win knowing we would have Wembley on our minds. In reality we absolutely coasted through the game, I think we will probably have to use more energy against Salford.

Come on then meat paste, who is better?

Arundel's try should clearly have been ruled out. Walker obstructed Hall from missing another tackle.

Don't think you coasted pal and up until the mad 6 minutes where you scored 3 times, the contest was pretty even. Hull wanted this win as much as Rovers and all in all it was a good full blooded derby with plenty of biff like it always should be.
