Phil Clarke

Unbiased as ever

what do you expect?

It works coz even though it was a perfectly good try video ref screwed us again

He didn't screw us, by the letter of the law it's a knock on......it's whether it should be that way though. A clear hand to the ball, yeah. Brushing the underside of his forearm, shouldn't be IMO but is.

But it was not clear the video clearly showed he never touched it. Even if it did brush his forearm it's not a knock on

Clarke is beyond a joke. Barrie put him in his place though.

Wonder if Clarke would have been so keen if it would have been against his beloved Cherry and Whites!!!!!..Show him and his Margin Meter the door a,s,a,p.!!!!!!

It was as much a try as wakeys disallowed try.........look at that which way you want ...........how many ball steals did Walters get away with

he was pleading because he thought the ref had missed a blatant knock on and that would have ruined what was a close game. Also still undecided if the first try was in touch,you can see green between the white line and the boot.

talk about being touchy jesus.

well played Wakefield.

Tbh if he'd have said it in a Wakey vs Saints/Wire/Hudds game I still would've found it as cringe worthy. It wasn't so much he asked the question "was that a knock on?"....but he pleaded and begged for a VR decision. Somehow if it was Matty Smith running under the posts I think he'd have reacted quite differently.

In the end it doesn't stop the decision being any different, I knew as soon as McGuire set off that it was going upstairs if he reached the line (was actually hoping he'd get tackled to avoid that happening) but it was quite pathetic commentary from a paid "professional"

Classic

Carney's the only Sky pundit worth listening to IMO. McDermott gets on my nerves too if I'm honest.

God that was embarrassing....

Danny McGuire I seem to remember was denied a similar try last season - where he got the better of Tomkins as last defender - because of the video ref.

Again he would have been better taking a tackle, allowing a score off the next play - without the option of then going to video ref. Stupid !

clarke made it obvious he wanted wakefield to win....and he should be banned from commentating..(especially when wigan are playing)..he's an ex wigan player..he comes from wigan..and his mrs is a wigan season ticket holder....
