Quote SirStan="SirStan"The East Stand victim mentality hit new heights tonight.
I'm truly sick of hearing blinkered RL fans blaming all their teams shortcomings on officials.'"
The fans had every right to blame the officials tonight.
Due to work commitments i was unable to make it to the game so had to watch it in the pub on Sky tv, what i saw just confirmed what most fans have thought for some time, that the officiating standards are shocking to say the least.
Watching on tv obviously gives you a much better view of what is happening on the pitch and some of the decisions tonight were unbelievable.
At least five forward passes from Huddersfield and one or two from Rovers were missed by the referee and linesman, one try in particular scored by Huddersfield was well forward and should have been spotted.
The incident with Gardener in touch, you could clearly see he was not in touch, Huddersfield scored just after the resulting Scrum , i'm not sure if they could have gone to the vr for this but if they could then why didn't they?
I know that these things unfortunately happen in most games but its happening far to often and it is simply not good enough from the officials.
Worst of all was the disallowed try as a result of supposed obstruction, even the full commentary Sky team said that it was in no way an obstruction, i could see it wasn't, everybody around me could see it wasn't and yet those two idiots in the Vr apt,
(Silverwood and Ganson I believe) could not .
If they cant even get it right with the technology they have at their disposal then it is about time we either got rid of it all together or re educate the people who who are using it, its becoming a complete shambles.
