Was thinking there may be a live thread on VT but popped on there as few good lads discussing it.Honestly thought Thaler for 55 min was blatantly cack. If it had been other way around I would have said the same. Job done then 2 reds .Credit to the players and fans but that Thaler performance was almost as bad as our 0-40 game v Hudd. That day he let them hold down and be offside all game and pinged us for the slightest fraction of same thing. I hate him as a ref and the fact he is chief ref says a lot about the state of our game.Morgan got a 4k fine for implying he was bent but he was and still is cack. Factor in Thaler the weather and everything else and it wasn't that bad a watch

Craig, i’ve edited your last post for fear of libel.



The prospect of Thaler or Child officiating Rovers used to make my heart sink, but my feelings about them are more muted now. I don’t think any of our refs are consciously biased. I do remember once being furious with Child because, to my mind, he decided to make a point rather ref normally. He’d probably describe it as ‘game management’, but his weary exasperation at ‘having’ to penalise us yet again was was less than endearing. And the suspicion remains that these points are more often made against less fashionable clubs, even allowing for the fact that they’re often more likely to concede penalties (see also occasional disciplinary panel crackdowns). The important thing is to try to get into a position to be on the right side of referees’ interpretation more often than not and then milk the hell out of it.

Edit.HKR did u even have time to watch the game u were to busy sucking up to the wire fans on there board lol ,toe curling see u didn't mention patton incident only brainfart by watts

Patton was a red by the laws of the game. You can't really compare the 2 offences other than they both had to go.One was a desperate tackle on a player breaking through and one was pure stupidity. Do you think otherwise?

yes I do one was a <edit>, the other was attempt at winding the player up ,granted poor on watts part

Simply a desperate tackle? You are kidding, right?

Craig, if you want to talk about the

Hull game why don't you do it on the Hull board? Your obsession is quite frankly embarrassing.



I hope we get the Cas game rearranged for Sun 24th June.

Why didn't they 're arrange it for tomorrow? Forecast to be 7 degrees

Stan I don't post on their board thanks. As a wise man once said use the ignore function.failing that go yourself

It was. Not unlike J Crookes on Salter that magic game. Terrible looking end result but I don't think he intended to clobber him in jaw with forearm? But he did and it was straight red. Shouldn't really have replied on Stans forum. Many apologies

That is a fair question.Suits Cas more than us I'd say?

He'd last about 5 posts on our board I reckon
