Can't argue with that really but if we are to be consistent, Saints and Leeds wouldn't have many players left at the end of most games. 

I don't think I have seen many Saints or Leeds players confront the referee in quite the fashion Griffin did. Or to then continue after being yellowed initially. 
 

Not everything is a conspiracy.

FFS Kendall is a complete joke.

Give over, you clearly don't like the man but a referee can't let a player give him dogs abuse like Griffin did.

Josh Griffin is the complete joke not Chris Kendall, put your desperate hatred of the man away.

[MZH]

If it wasn't over at half time it is now.

Very sly, but very naughty, a few games ban coming up.

Yeah he new exactly what he was doing. 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Sironen puts Saints in front breaking the line down the short side.

Not great tackling by Hull.

Lussick adds the extras.

Hull 12-18 Saints

Idiotic for Griffin to get sent off like that, probably game over. I'd be very interested to know what he said though, if he's been offensive then fair enough, but if he's just getting carried away protesting a decision that's not worth a red card and ruining a quarter final for. 

Also, is there a precedent for cards being given after the hooter? The game isn't live. What if it was a substitute saying stuff to him as they walked off the pitch?

You send the substitute off

That should have happened when Ellery was playing.

Talk about picking at old scabs - Hanley retired over a quarter of a century ago!

Not arguing conspiracy. Just that refs are usually more lenient (too much so IMO) to players getting in their face.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Hull fans getting on Kendall’s back but they probably need to get behind their men as much

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Was that an announcement in the ground telling our fans to stop informing Kendell that he touches himself so to speak?

If you send the sub off, is the team down to 12 or do they just lose an interchange?

[Gerrumonside ref]

The lesser seen tripping 

[meast]

I really cannot believe the amount of posters/fans who are complaining about a referee sending off a stupid player who didn't know when to shut up and RIGHTLY got red carded for his verbals.

RL fans never cease to amaze me in their negativity/hatred towards match officials, we should be backing the referees in sending off players who give them a gobful, I can guarantee that the same people who criticise a ref for this action will also the be some of the most critical of football for mouthing off and disrespect etc.

It's flipping embarrassing listening to the Hull fans give him abuse for doing what we should all be applauding him for.

The greatest game? Not with fans like that no.

Well hopefully that changes and more refs send players off for it.

Hurrell with a completely ignored cannonball on Satae

I think you can get sent off in the bar after a game etc.

[MZH]

Thats not a trip, he had a hand on him.

You can still use your legs to trip someone and touch them with your hands.

His movement with his legs didn't look too natural in just trying to make a tackle.

Stupid by Griffin and completely unacceptable but you can see why players get so frustrated by Kendall. He doesn’t seem to have a clue what is going on.

That doesn't give players free reign to give him verbals.

I'm not sure that's how it works

[Gerrumonside ref]

Great pass by Trueman to unleash McIntosh

[MZH]

Was it definitely just Griffin that got sent off? We looked like we were defending with about 9 players on that set.

All for it if it stops players doing it, but lack of consistency is frustrating.

I guess that depends a lot on what those players are saying and how their actions are perceived by the referee. Without any examplels I can't recall a specific one where I felt that a player should have been sinbinned for dissent but wasn't
