Only reason he has got a ban is because there is a bit of blood. Would love to know how a panel can watch that replay and not cite the player who began using his elbow into the face of Doro.

Doro will miss a couple now plus a reserve game but a break will also do him good as he has been immense this season - real workhorse for us.

Just watched game again and what an horrible g*t Stack is. Same as last year, niggle in tackle and constant complaining to ref to influence him. And it workes.

Git is putting it nicely. I’d say he’s a total dick bellend prick house cock!

Arsewipe flap stroker

They were backing up a referee.

They can get to !

Piss poor referee

The swear filter putting in more work than Samy Kibula!

It's shame we can't amend the swear filter to include our own suggestions. For instance I thought the Ref was totally Lauaki. Didn't know his Green from his elbow. He can get to Orford as far as I'm concerned.

Agree about Stack, wasn't just moaning about every decision. It was way OTT and far too aggressive towards the officials. Arms outstretched and screaming at the ref and touch judge. It was quite visible on the highlights this worked with Griffiths owing up after a rant from Stack.

Disappointing thing is Griffiths is one of the full-time refs and an experienced one and spent far too much time having pally conversations with the Barrow players while being told by them when to blow for a penalty.

Wank stain

It’s the words that make it through that get me.

It’s really weak officiating the ref should tell him to shove it. Penalise them and then march them back. I’m sure the ref wouldn’t allow it if he had to walk back through the crowd to get changed.

Those were days.

Can't imagine the likes of Robin Whitfield would've put up with all that arm waving and appealing. I remember him sending Ellery Hanley off for far less.

Can't be long before a player thinks 'He's at it again, I'm gonna get set off and banned so may as well level the properly'. Can't come too soon

Unfortunately the modern game is such that natural justice isn't meted out in this way. Instead it's down to the ref to be more forceful and make sure that players know they're in charge and that all the waving arms around and appealing for a decision won't make any difference. The ref last Sunday was very weak in this department. Barrow have a clear gameplan to put pressure on the ref and to an extent it worked.

Lamping someone only plays into their hands. Doro fell for the old pea and thimble trick which is a pretty old tactic albeit one that can be tried without fear of being smacked as often nowadays.
