David Shepherd Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Allegedly, today's ref was Martyn Ridyards's brother in law. If true, it would certainly explain some of the bizarre decision making. Also if true, how can this kind of potential conflict of interest be allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure other teams have had surprise defeats too. That's the beauty of this season's championship, if you are not on it you can get turned over.

DEANO Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 1 hour ago, paulwalker71 said: Really compacted at the top of the Championship now (excepting Toronto) Three teams level on 26 points after Featherstones victory over Leigh, and Bradford (in great form) just two points back. Sheffield two points further back. York quietly going about their business on 28. It's any four from those six to join TW in the five. I think it will go all the way to the wire, with plenty of twists and turns. It entirely possible that Toulouse might not even make top 5. Also pretty tight at the bottom. Rochdale look to be gone, but Dewsbury beating Barrow was huge today. Swinton look to be pulling clear, but Batley have been dragged into it. Great competition this season Love the way you mention York last even though they are 2nd. Hope they stay under the radar sometimes you have to take a step backwards to move forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Evans Thigh Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 If it’s true that a referee was allowed to referee a game involving his brother in law/best man, there needs to be some kind of review of the rules. i haven’t watched the game yet so not in a position to comment on his performance but he should not be in that position regardless. I’m uneasy with refs being in charge of teams they are known to support but when friends/family are involved it’s surely a conflict of interest. Why give supporters that ammunition? The mind boggles.

In theory it could work the other way. The ref thinks 'Crikey, my brother in law plays for this lot, best not give them anything in case I am accused of being biased'. Sadly this didn't happen today at Fev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they stay under the radar If York make it into the top5 then they deserve it. They do, however, have only 2 more games at home, they have Bradford, Toronto, Leigh and Featherstone to play yet. TO away at Fev last game of the season could be very interesting. That is, if TO don't screw up too much...again. Bradford had a great game, but TO just got the basics wrong.

Either way I’m gobsmacked they would be put in that position. It was a routine league game too so not as if it’s a final and he’s been the best ref all year. They could literally send anyone else.

Harry Stottle Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 obviously as supporter's of opposing teams we somewhat see things quite differently, I fhink Leigh made enough opportunities today to win the game today, some bad final decision making along with some good defense from Fev meant a reverse in the outcome, all in all a good game to watch.

The interception won the game for Fev , brilliant reading by Chisholm , he misses it Leigh score and go 2 scores clear , he catches it and Fev take the lead , and the game Good game , Shame to hear a few Leigh idiots booing Reynolds probably the same idiots who used to give him grief when he was at Leigh , if you see this Ben , 99.9% of the Leythers thank you for your time at Leigh and wish you all the best in the future Thanks Fev for a great day out , see you later no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cut it out! We can't have any other team having idiot fans! Seriously though it was a good turn out by Leigh, a cracking atmosphere and obviously from my side a good game and result. It was nice to see fans mingling in the fanzone prior to kick off, just how it should be. Hopefully see you in the playoffs for the decider!

After that, Fev took a stranglehold on the game, and were deserving winners. Two pretty evenly matched teams - we won well at ours and they have just done it at theirs. I was pleased for Ben. He stayed very loyal to us, last season, is a skilful lad, and you know you will always get 100% from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the many "errors" that today's ref made. That aside, it was a tough, well fought game. Thought we won the energy battle and a late scare aside, the result was never in doubt after Chizzy's intercept. I'm sure Ben Reynolds got way less stick than 'ocky, Riddy and Scruffy Duffy got. Goes with the territory when you play a former team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
