Good to see you know better than the RFL. Can you also tell us how Warrington remain under the cap, which RFL board member Gary Hetherington has dirt on, what Eamonn McManus eats for breakfast and what Ian Leneghan's ideal tuesday would be?

Whatever the laws say, I've often seen the ref overrule the TJs at amateur level even when both are in agreement.



But then some of the decisions are amateur level are mind-boggling.



Not that I'm dissing refs, mind, they're brave buggers.

No, you ignorant c?nt, you do NOt have to say "ur talking out of ur a**e". I answered someone's question and we were having a polite conversation. If I was not right, then you could say so without coming out with an opening remark that would get you separated from your teeth in many pubs.



Anyway, I won't respond in kind, but according the laws of the game, what I said is correct. And, we go on what the laws of the game say, not whatever comes into your puerile head.



Now run along.

Obviously I am commenting on that video, and yes the ball did (from that perspective) clear the posts. Which is the reason it is inconclusive.



However I think you're wrong since I reckon that if the ball did not go higher than the posts, then there is no possible camera angle from the sidelines, ie whether from below the top of the posts, above them, or level with them, in which you wouldn't see the ball pass in front of or behind a post.

"I believe it did go over," Vikings coach Betts told BBC Radio Merseyside.



"The referee might quote differently, but Rhys said he (Hicks) thought it went over. The linesmen put their flags down so he couldn't overrule them."



Odd, that.

As someone who knew Mr hicks as he was starting in the ref game, i will not comment on him as whatever I say will be biased.

However FA is correct: when I took the ref exams in Oldham (same as Mr Hicks but a year or so before), I was told that to over-rule the touch judges was sufficient to be asked to step down as a ref: you did not over-rule them.The rules state the same.

However, in the amateur game (and mine were mostly youths) the bias of some volunteer TJs was so obvious that I sometimes had to suggest they watched the game and I would ignore them.



Refs: once they make a decision, that decision stands unless another official can advise the ref. So a ref can realise it's cocked it up but the decision stands. No comment on cetain Leeds players.

Comedy. You'll be missed

If only his Dad had...

When are you going to stop sympathy-hunting you big tart?



You lost because,as ever,your side is rubbish.



It just wasn't the 50+ points hiding your garbage club usually gets week in week out.

Why do TJ's stand where they do when goals are being kicked? What I am trying to say is why doesn't one stand under each post and they look up, if it goes on the wrong side of the post the touch judge waves it away if it goes through he puts it up. As at the minute they stand on an angle and sometimes are virtually stood next to each other which surely would defeat the object of what are they doing.

as ever, you make your bell end troll credentials clear. I could stay here and argue on the internet with a no mark like you, but I have preferable things to do like actually leave the house and talk to real women (I know that's a difficult concept) or even crush my balls in a vice, which is also a better option.

Back in the box now dear.
