wiggler Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I attended the Wath Brow v Thatto Heath game on Saturday as a neutral. I enjoyed my visit to Cleator Moor. Thatto Heath scored a very late try to tie the game. At the end of the game I was a little disappointed to hear a large number of home supporters soundly booing the ref as he came off. He had to work the game alone as there were no official touch judges so cut a somewhat lonely figure as he came off. I thought he did an adequate job overall and did not deserve to be boo-ed off. What about the 'RESPECT THE REF' campaign that was featured in the match day programme? No point 'talking the talk' if you don't 'walk the walk'. I appreciate that emotions get high, but it was not the ref who failed to deal with the bomb that led to the equaliser. On a lighter note why can I only get XL cheese crisps in west Cumbria? Now they ARE something to shout about! I wish the Brow good luck for the rest of the season and I hope to see them in the NCL grand final, presumably at Widnes. Maybe even against Thatto Heath?

JMB Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Sorry must disagree about you saying that the ref done a adequate job, in a fixture that was so important to both teams a matured and experienced referee should have been appointed to that fixture, and the ref that was knocked over to the floor by a Thatto player and uncited of a knock on before the bomb, in fact the rule states if that happens it should have been a scrum and feed to Thatto, so to say the ref done a adequate job is rubbish.

Carlsberg don't do Soldiers, but if they did, they would probably be Brits. http://www.pitchero....hornemarauders/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you claiming that a Thatto play touched / knocked the ref over and they still should be rewarded advantage at scrum Ref was uncited cos your player knocked him over penalty if not red card for player for touching ref Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be smart but how about you taking up the whistle.A ref with no linesmen is no easy job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic Roosters Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I went to watch Heworth .v. Leigh Miners as a neutral years ago and the ref asked me to run the line for him. I did it as well as I could, totally unbiased, but I never did it again. I couldn't take the abuse again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even harder without touch judges. I do it every game and its hard work as is refereeing without assistance Forget Chuck and Chad I am the real legend killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
