The worst bit is if it wasn't on sky their wouldn't have even been a penalty.

true, ref didn't see it, lines(whater they're called now) didn't see it. It was just a solid hit.



Why such an inexperienced referee was given the game is beyond any reason, for both teams.

Thing is, they don't apply the rules consistently. I could take it if, when we see a similar tackle taking place, we see the same decision being made.

We all know though that we'll see a carbon copy tackle next week involving a different team and they'll just award a penalty.



Thought the Dobbins got away with plenty yesterday, but listening to Phil Clarke, Hull got all the decisions. Never heard from him for the last 15 minutes though . Must have been sat in a corner sulking.

Yeh John Wells put Clark right at the end when he was so P*ssed off with him downing us all the time that he said something like , "Right Phil lets give credit where credit is due"

Clarke was willing Rovers on to win. Wells was pretty fair I thought.

Yeah, I normally quite like Wells and get a little wound up by Clarke.



But yesterday, I wanted to sup on Wells’ tears so badly. From a Rovers POV, his cheerleading for you was close to nauseating. His excitement at Talanoa lifting his fingers off the touchline before grounding the ball (once you’ve touched the line, the play is dead Jon - and this lot still can’t be bothered to spell your name correctly, despite your desperate attempts ingratiate yourself. So there.)

I thought you weren't that bothered about it.

My expectations were low, I said I wasn’t nervous and I told PCollinson that everybody can define what it means to them for themselves. Not sure I said I wasn’t bothered?





Between the sending off and you going ahead 6-18 I was a bit nervous, and there was a brief flicker at 12-18 too. But we don’t carry much threat and without Lunt and McGuire we are a bit directionless too.



Without the sending off, it’d have been a 20+ margin, i’m sure. That would have been shizzle too, if closer to what i’d prepared myself for.

I'm always prepared for a massive defeat. Anything else is a bonus after the scars of 4 years of Agar.

Last year decisions had been published by early afternoon.



Nothing yet - so maybe they've decided that banning players during a 2 day turnover of games was not such a good idea.

Don't think it's a sending off as I said on the match thread but if players were to bend their backs a bit more when making tackles this would rarely ever be an issue.

Spoke too soon, they did meet.
