Quote: spanishbob "Now you get me going, I wasn't going to post much whilst still full of emotions.
Batleys second and third tries were blatantly forward passes, one the touch judge even stood his ground on, only to be overruled by Mr Batley. I have never seen so many forward passes go un penalized.
Then there is the 5.9 dive on 79 minutes, a penalty? Come on.... even Karl, talking on radio Leeds wasn't convinced.
I firmly believe that we threw the game away in the first 40 minutes when Batley outplayed us and out enthused us, but Calland dumped it up by saying we were dreadful for 40 minutes and we had a half where every 50/50 decision went against us.
Fair play to Batley, they stuck in there and begged for a penalty at the end, which was gifted to them, but they were only in that position due to poor decision making on behalf of Halifax.
It's in the record books. Onwards and upwards to whitehaven.'"
Did any of your Tries come from dubious descisions? Worrincey offside from the kick maybe?
Did you get away with things that should have been penalised? Barlow third man in the tackle with the forearm?
No thought not!
If you go on the Bulldogs message board you will see that a fair few Batley fans are mad at the biassed ref and Touch Judge.
I was 14 and the Bulldogs Stats man when I learned that descisions go both ways and not to blame a ref for a bad performance!
If you watch the game closely and take off your blinkers you might enjoy it more.
Stop Whining leave that to Black,Barlow and Penky
2:0 Bulldogs
