Yesterdays game was unfortunately Lost/spoilt because of poor decisions by players and ref. When A referee is not going to give forward passes, you cant blame batley when they scores tries from them. When a ball strikes gannon on the shoulder (he did not even raise his arms) and goes backwards and into blacky's hands the ref gave a knock on, fair enough but then when a batley player does nearly the same thing but also gets his hands to it and it goes to the floor the ref waves play on, consistancy i think not. The batley try from the kick which blatently was put down on the dead ball line (both touch judges standing back to say they weren't sure about the grounding in the field of play ref ignores and gives try. I am not sure what our players were thinking about when we get a penalty at the end of the first half ( blacky is clearly asking if they should take 2 points but instead go for a try on one play which we had not really managed to do all half.
Callland obviously sorted something out at half time because our attack maybe got into second gear.
In the first half when blacky was pulled into touch and then the batley number 5 started "saying something in his ear whilst pinning him to the floor nothing was done. in the second half the same player i can only say smacked the halifax player in the face instead of tackling him andthe touch judge comes on but the ref does not even speak to the player. This just seemed bizarre he did not seem to want to punish batley only having to when the touch judge came on.
And the whole penky getting sin binned for being headbutted well F### Knows.
I know i am ranting but i promise this is the last bit. Why oh why did we goe for the drop goal so early in the tackle count so close to their line with so long left. Oh yeah and why was the clock not stopped when handforth took an absolute age over that last penalty.
I was very pi##ed off at the end but now looking at the tables we only need a bonus point to go through so no worries there. we can play so much better and will do'"
Aw diddums. Did the nasty referee man really have it in for Halifax yesterday? I don't know how we dare even lay a finger on your team of precious little angels.
Did the horrible Batley man tackle poor old Benny Wenny into touch and say something mean to him?
I can see your bottom lip stuck out like Beyonce's backside from here!
Its a bit ironic (and a little bit laughable) that fans of club who's squad includes such renowned and expert wind-up merchants as Barlow, Penkywicz, Gannon and Nash feel they have any room for complaint about other clubs man-handling and sledging their players.
