not surprising that the club sites didn't contain any criticism - Leeds have nowt to complain about as no contentious or even 50/50 decisions went against them and good luck to them and the Catalans like the other online reports and local rags decided not to lambast the ref - Robinson was still fuming at the decisions but didn't mention the ref in the Press Conference - had the result gone the other way then I think we would have heard the screams of Mr Child from faraway...

Robinson didn't disguise his relief at the victory which many locals were saying kept him in a job...

regarding the 'frog' comments, I suppose it depends on where you draw the line and that is purely subjective - calling a french person a 'frog' or 'froggie' would be insulting to some and humerous to others - me, I don't give a monkeys what Mr Child says on twitter , it just seems to sum up his mentality but more worryingly his pre conceived ideas about french people just before refereeing an important contest involving these people - interpret his comments how you wish but for me it speaks volumes...

Is it real? I'm not sure...

apparently, according to a very good source

Er, no, it's not! Would've been sacked ages ago!

Why? Do the RFL interfere with the free speech of the referees?

"That's how Nazi Germany started - they'll be burning books next."

don't bite !

he's just looking to stir things

just agree with him/her

Why are you picking on the anteater?

How did alibert not at least sin bin mason is beyond me 3-4 swinging arm/high tackles and throwing the ball at an oppo player, lot of decisions went against both teams don't think he favoured either one as the cas fan is suggesting on the uds board. Burgess' ball retention is abysmal in oz he will be shredded with that thought he would improve from last year but he seems to get abit worse and its usually in our own half

Free speech is not what you imply, as you well know. Free speech does not mean there are no consequences to whatever you say. The reason it is plainly not James Child is because if you follow the tweets in question then on occasions he comes out with inappropriate remarks which it is 100% certain a real SL ref would under no circumstances make. References to "frogs" when reffing in France being one of them.


Sanjunien? Give the lad a break, he couldn't pick my nose!

strange thing was - Mr Child WAS at the 'little market' next to the GB - I was at the ground to get my tickets - pure coincidence obviously ?
The fact he was with Dave, the match commissioner to boot is just another coincidence .....

i'm not worthy monsieur
