Have u got a proper job with batley then? if so well done

Rob was just stupid and clumsy rather than anything dirty etc-but obviously some people like to create something out of nothing. Laughton the Clown pinged batley for everything first half-then seemed to stop doing it in the second then vice versa for fax! Thanks for ruining the game laughton-try and be a bit consistant!

branighan did well. Black did OK but is still not matchfit for me. Penky is a Jekyl and Hyde charactor who does some really excellent things and set up a couple of ties near to the line-then just has brainstorms like shoving people over which could easily see him in the bin. The players did not have a clue in defence due to one mr Laughton. Normally you can guess how long a ref will let you hold a man down-not with laughton! Must be really frustrating as a player. I think the offsides were pedantic. If Laughton bothered talking to players to step back etc then that would be better than blowing up all the time.

We won and we did not play that well. We let batley back in to the game which is disappointing but least we won. Hopefully with the better weather we can get to see us in a more flowing team

"it wasn't a malicious tackle" because it wasn't even a bluddy tackle! Rob just stood there and Campbell decided to leap for the ball over Rob's head .... land on Rob ... then fall awkwardly to the ground. Then we had all those brain dead morons in the corner squealling like lunatics to get Rob sent off! It shouldn't have even been a penalty, just "play on".

It was a Penalty for the reason that Worincy didnt challenge for the ball and thats what the ref said to him when he was talking to him. It was a pure accident the Batley player landing on his head but it really came about because it didnt look like Worrincy fancied it, he has a sneaky look and sees the full back running full pelt and basically pulled out.

Im sure Ronnie the Laughing Idiot said to Rob that he had to contest the ball.... Rob didnt do anything other than what you say.Penalty fair enough, but no other action... for once Ron was right!!!

Has anyone mentioned Campbell's 'Ronaldo' impression when Penky shoved him? Has he been taking lessons from certain 'Haven players?

He also made a meal of the Rob incident. I have now had chance to watch a recording of the match. Ronnie's reffing was as bad as it appeared. He made some horrendous calls, the worst being Wrench's sin binning, one of the worst decisions I have ever seen. I also noticed on at least a couple of occasions he shouted "Is that zero or first tackle?" Who was he asking? The touch judges? Doesn't he know the rules?

Unfortunately RL, more than any other sport, is at the mercy of the refs. And more unfortunately Ronnie, despite clearly being totally inept, will continue to torment us in the future

Damn right - can't argue against that. I watched approximately 10 minutes of that shower of a match yesterday. Truly - it was the most boring sporting event (or part of) that i have ever witnessed. John Inverdale called it "fascinating"

bring back Tony Fax 2

Foot in mouth time from softlad66. Ronnie's performance last Thursday was a TRUE and CLEAR example of bad refereeing. The ref of the Ovenden match was so much better, yet you demonstrated embarrassing ignorance to state otherwise. Yet again my sig "Am I right? I'm not wrong!" holds true. I rest my case

Does he have to challenge for the ball? As long as he didn't step into the Batley players path to obstruct him surely it's Rob's prerogative to make that descision and the Batley player should have gone round him not over and through him?
