Quote: casman2 "That was a disgusting bit of refereeing. Where were the touch judges??
As was the ridiculous sin binning of Ferres for throwing the ball away, yet when Patten kicked the ball full pelt in to the crowd nothing was done!!'"
Ferres delayed a 20m restart - it's an automatic sinbinning and has been for about 7 or 8 years - he was correctly sinbinned and it was a stupid thing to do.
The general feeling around us with the Patten one was that he booted the ball in frustration as he dropped it rather than on purpose. It wasn't a particularly great show of sportsmanship though.
