It's not bitternes its an example of the double standards that has clouded bradford ever since mcnamara took over.

It's sunshine and lollypops when a set of circumstances works in your favour but when the same set of circumstances work against you your players and coach moan.

They should STFU moaning and learn how to win, because they aren't very good at it.

That`s correct. It`s impossible to tell from that angle. Maybe a definitive view would have been obtained with extra cameras or maybe it just might have been given as a benefit of the doubt try, not that Mr Child has ever given us a 75 - 25 call yet with flag in hand. Funnily enough in the one game he blew the whistle for I thought he was OK.

Mr Child isat home now singing along to his reggae music, can you hear him.

I shot the Sherriffe, but I didn't think it was a try.

Leeds fans actually seem more bothered about this than Sheriffe himself.

It was a try

I was stood right in line with it from the Western Terrace and it was aTRY.

Sorry, but from what I saw on Boots 'n' All, NOBODY could have been able to tell which hit first, the flag or the grounding. Not at full speed.

Anyone saying "it was definitely a try" or "it definitely wasn't a try" is looking through rose tinted glasses imo.

I agree. If we'd been on Sky then it might have gone the other way. But as it was, the linesman was damned if you do and damned if you dont

Precisely. Regardless of the history of Mr. Child, it would have taken someone with superhero powers to tell if that was a try at full speed. Either decision he gave could have been justified and I don't think there is any need to question it, no matter which way it went.

This thread has probably died a death, point made that the speed and intensity of the modern game demands for better quality officials.

There were several difficult calls in that game, including I'd say Hall's first try, which looked suspiciously like a knock on in real time.

How do you work that out?

If anything, I'd say that this particular try says that the modern game demands super human powers from it's officials to get everything right.

So...video refs at every game? Or at none?
