I've actually paused the footage where the ball is grounded.....a good 3-4 foot away from the touchline.
Linesman crouched with clear view of hand on ball.
Would post the screen shot but don't know how to

I've normally found saints fans to be amongst the best and most knowledgable in the game but having read some of the comments mainly on the redvee site it shows them in a very different light,maybe it's because saints of all the teams is a side Cas have never really threatened and now the tide is turning some fans appear to have blamed anything from people smoking to the threat of the stands falling down on yesterdays defeat.

Chris Campbell was poor again for both teams but rather than the focus been on the ref ask yourselves why did your team struggle to breakdown a very weakened Cas side? You had enough good ball to win 3 games never mind 1 yet time and time again you were foiled by some gutsy defence and poor execution.

Tom Holmes having head taken off in act of scoring, Percival spoken to but no penalty. See what I mean. Redvee tv moaning about penalty count, which was 9-8 to Saints!'" Official frame by frame footage shows Holmes 2 metres offside from the kick, ref missed it despite being 4 metres away from Holmes. www.redvee.net/WordPress/wp-cont ... 24x596.jpg

The first try for Cas was nothing to do with touch, he was clearly not in touch. It was the knock on on the other side of the posts leading up to it. One of the most blatant you'll ever see. Moors went to offload and the ball fell from his hand towards the Saints line, half the players stopped and it was picked up by Cas and the ref ignored it completely. There were also a couple of ridiculous decisions your way that led to about four repeat sets. He was getting so much abuse from the Saints fans by that point that I'm convinced he was doing it purely out of spite.

I think we'd have won the game had it been on Sky or refereed by one of the less incompetent officials, but Saints were terrible anyway. I don't really care about results this season, it's all about Holbrook getting the chance to weed out the weak links (Swift, Smith, Wilkin, Lomax, Taia, LMS) and hopefully recruit a couple more players that will improve the side.

Normally find Saints fans knowlagable about the game but it seems if they are not challenging for titles they can soon change their tune and blame others/Refs.
The amount of times Saints were offside/Not square/laying on was unbelievable and went completely unpunished (but I'm guessing that's ok as it's in your favour)
To pick up on just things that you think the ref didn't do for you speaks volumes.
Do Refs miss things !!!!
Of course they do but they don't just miss things for Saints
If you go on any fan site you will see EVERY club thinks the refs are against them.
Derek Beaumont was slating the refs last week but you didn't hear any moaning from him last season when they were smashing everyone.
Come on Saints fans stick to the rugby and stop blaming everyone but the team or do you only support your club if your winning things ?

Mate you cannot defend that offside decision. It was a disgrace. Its cost saints 2 points.

No it didn't, it negates Saints first try coming from a blatant obstruction.

The game was there to be taken,simple fact is there were to many errors again from Saints,forget about the ref if we cut out the errors and also dont give away stupid penalties and have to defend 3 or 4 sets near our line then that game is won.

Nothing to do with the missed takles,dropped ball,poor kicking ?
How about the obstruction for 1st try ?
How about the incorrect play the Balls or are these ok because they were for Saints

Not a Saints or Cas fan but it's amazing just how arrogant Cas fans have become since their side as won a few.

Not sure what their excuses will be when they collapse in the second half of the season having peaked too soon and end up empty handed as usual. Nothing club.

Because our fans are happy we are winning that's arrogance!!!!!
What do you want the fans to do ?
Would you like us to be miserable and down in the dumps ?

Someone really needs to tell Percival to stop falling on his face when he is playing the ball and trying to milk a penalty. Makes him look stupid.

JonnoTheGreat Great what?
