Dunbar Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Thought I would just jump back into this thread again as it is going strong. But for some reason it is now talking about the Premier League. 1 1 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

You would imagine a team that was really dirty would have more?! Oddly this season Leeds United have 13 yellow cards which is way off the pace of Man United on 20 who are on course for a new seasonal record of 127! Strange for such a dirty bunch to be so far behind. You do realise that a YC in football is considerably closer to a penalty in RL than it is a card. Do you go to games John or just watch on the telly and grub to forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Ted Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Child was the wrong appointment for a fixture such as this. He's nowhere near the calibre of referee we need for Play Off rugby. He has just finished his period of being stood down after the shambolic officiating in the Leeds/Wiogan game at Headingly. Moore, the ref, was stood down for one week. Child the VR was stood down for six weeks. He ref'd the Wigan/Catalan game last week, his first game back. After six weeks out he shouldn't be anywhere near the play offs. The dis comm will have their work cut out this weeks and their finding will make interesting reading. Pity they can't discipline referees for utterly dreadful performances as in the Catalans/Leeds game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcilorum is one of the worst, but Tomkins also isn't far off him. It's not unusual for Mcilorum to carry out serious foul play shortly after a ref has read the riot act and supposedly calmed things down. He played for Queens on Burley road still got that culture 3 Soon we will be dancing the fandangoFROM 2004,TO DO WHAT THIS CLUB HAS DONE,IF THATS NOT GREATNESSTHEN i DONT KNOW WHAT IS.JAMIE PEACOCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL at you shoehorning in a grievance about a dubious video ref call in your team's 30 point thrashing two months ago However a point about how the different styles of different referees impact games is more obviously true - whilst Child did things pretty much by the book, if Thaler and Child had swapped roles events would probably have turned out differently (Thaler being his usual more gobby, assertive self may have made Catalans snap out of their ill-disciplined malaise but I bet Leeds would likely still have won).

As I’ve posted elsewhere I don’t think Thaler or anyone else would have made a difference to the attitude of the players on the night. They were more intent on petty niggling & wind ups than playing rugby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbar Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Just finished watching the NRL elimination play off game between the Rabbitohs and Roosters this morning. 7 sin bins. Players running in to melee after melee mouthing off at each other. The whole game was chaotic from start to finish. No one blamed the ref. 1 1 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

The contrast between that game and the Sharks/NQL game was stark, and it wasn't down to the referee but to the performance of the players and the respect that they showed towards the officials, even when they felt hard done by. 2 Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

He was probably the calmest person in the Stadium and it was far from a dreadful performance but keep those prejudices of yours coming. It lightens the mood Child hadn't ref'd in SL, he'd been TJ and ref'd in the C'ship. He simply isn't good enough for play off games or C Cup Semis or Finals. He ref'd Wigan's semi and was abysmal, he was then given the Final and was again terrible. Wigan won the Cup in spite of Child. Yes my team won and I'm complaining about the ref! (John Monie's old quip.) The RFL have a massive responsibility and their sending match officials on the same plane as Catalans opposition is staggering. Given they appoint a referee who is clearly not up to it and the Catalans crowd's sense of grievance came out in full. The Catalan club will have difficult questions to answer about various incidents but massive questions need to be answered by the RFL and their numerous misjudgements over this fixture.
