The Torygraph is too left wing for Ilkley. Only the Mail is good enough for us. I'd missed the bit where Ed Miliband is implicated as well.

Beat me to it.

I think he reads the Excess too, on the quiet, since it seems to be trying to out-react the Mail these days with headlines like "Milliband pig-dog ate my hamster and we are all going to die and its all the EU's fault"

It's no wonder we see such reactionary posts from him on here

In order to restore political neutrality to this board, the Daily Mirror is blaming Margaret Thatcher for Raynor's ban. Arthur Scargill is on his way to Red Hall as we speak to form a picket line and stand round a brazier burning effigies of the milk snatcher and Steve 'Tory Boy' Ganson.

I didn't know he'd sold fake brake pads as well.

No I'd now expect the ref to go to the video ref, red card him if the VR says so, then expect Bailey to get a 2 match ban and a fine. Thats the precedent thats been set and that we should expect to be followed from now on.

Also Tomkins did change direction while Raynor was making the tackle, he started to dive at the ground. Thats whats made the difference on where the hit went in. And a 2 foot drop between start and end of the tackle is entirely possible at the speed he was going.

I don't go in for these consipracy theories though, the refs are just this bad and I suspect most on the this board pay less attention to the howlers that happen to other teams.

The VR didn't say red card himsorry to disappoint you. The precedent was set previously, do keep up. Othersie I agree that's what should happen.

'"

I am still looking forward to a ref going to the VR for the next high tackle.
Oh but only if there is a VR there obviously.

But I won't hold my breath.

Its a YES from me. Thought Raynor was stupid to do what he did. Was reckless and on the goal-line. Could have prevented a try. Red-card was the correct decision and a deserved fine for Raynor. Not sure about the games banned. Could have gone either way. Spot on about the consistency of referees this season. The only referee that has showed consistency this season and hasn't bowed down under pressure is Mr. Ganson.

Nothing new here, the VR was asked about the Adrian Morley tackle when he was sent off after 12 secs for GB.

But they only did that because the RFL knew he would play for the BUlls 2 years later.

Did he ????

I cant remember them going to the VR, i thought he just pulled the red straight out and sent him off

I think they tend to wait for the player to get up and make sure they are ok before issuing cards dont they, in this case i think Robbie Kearns was up quite sharpish..........................

And as for Stevo, well............................... i dont know why he bothers tbh !!!
