Ref R Silverwood TJ T Martin TJ M Wilson RR J Leahy VR P Bentham MC T Randerson

The double act!

Not the worst but not the best. Expect a penalty every minute though...

true, poor old fc have got thaler..... ouch gotta hurt

Alibert is the worst referee.

Yes, but a least he's poor for both sides

Totally disagree - i think hes actually half decent. eachto there own i guess!


Hooooooooooooooooooooldddddddd, moooooooooovee

Is that because Thaler isn't really a referee ?

No, because Alibert doesn't know the rules. Thaler is useless, but at least he knows the rules, although he doesn't follow them half the time. Alibert is just clueless.

VR from Warrington eh?



Lets hope for no bizarre decisions like he gave against Huddersfield at Wembley.

My feelings too!!! Thought he robbed Hudds of two very good trys

I can't believe we've got silverwood yet again, I know thaler is out of the question as he'd probably get lynched

but you would have thought they could vary it a bit more!

What 2 bizarre decisions would they be?
The clear double movement (Which it was seeing as the ball carrying arm hit the floor and was relifted to get it over the line), Or the clear obstruction (3 players are sliding right 3rd one in gets taken out forcing the two outside players to stop sliding right, This lets the Hudds left winger go in unopposed due to his oppo winger having to come back infield to cover the centre, Which would have been covered by Briers if the Bridge hadn't been taken out).
If hudds dont want to play by the rules thats up to them.

We've had Silverwood for 5 SL games this season, and won one which funnily was enough against you at our place. Last season we had him for 7 SL games winning just 2. The season before that (2007) out of 3 games we won just 1 (against Salford who were eventually relegated).

Notice a pattern developing?

Regarding Bentham as VR, he is actually from Leigh despite being listed as from Warrington.

You tell me, I never mentioned 2.

Now I know you are talking poo, your victory at our place in the CC QF was reffed by Mr Bentham, Silverwood did Edinburgh.

I've noticed a pattern developing, I just wish I was better at maths to do some research into what seems a very bizarre turn of events.

Every time we have Silverwood and one of our speccies moans an opposition fan turns up stating that they've lost usually around 70% of games when Silverwood has officiated.

This would seem to indicate that in some games officiated by Silverwood both teams lose?

How can this be? It clearly happens as opposition fans quote irrefutable facts (sometimes in capitals) with dates and everything.

I'll get my accountant mates to have a look at it, they're a bit dull with nothing better to do...

I specifically referred to SL.

Round 6, 22nd March 2009
Warrington Wolves 24, Hull Kingston Rovers 12
Referee - Mr R Silverwood (Dewsbury)

What 'poo' was you refering to?

Simple enough to check the FACTS for yourself (or get your accountant mates to do it).

IN SL games over the past 3 years when Silverwood has been in charge we have won just under 27% of the games. All the other referees put together (but not including Silverwood) we have won over 56% of our games. Do we save our worst performances for when Silverwood is in charge, or is there another reason?

Fabulous, you've gone off and worked that out on your fingers and toes haven't you?

Did you not detect the slightest hint of irony (actually I'm flattering myself there it was no more sophisticated than sarcasm) in my post?

Any chance you could nip over and cut my lawn for me? I can't be ar5ed to do that either.

Indeed you didn't but was I incorrect in my assumption?

No he never.
The only wrong decision was Hicks knock on from the bomb.
