Can somebody put up the video of the incident so we can all watch it 5 times and decide that after 5 viewings we think the ball was grounded, so we can then all agree that the referee who has to make an instant decision based on one live viewing, is a useless cretin and we can all be pig sick and spewing for Batley?

Honestly, I do really like John Kear, and make allowances for being emotional, but listening to that, he's a grown man FFS and it is cringeworthy, he sounds like a 4 year old who had his lollipop pinched.

I think he definitely SHOULD be fined for his despicable comment that the officials had a "a desired outcome" and reffed to that. He just slipped it in, but that is a vile slur, and the RFL should call him in to explain himself. Saying it was a bad call is one thing, but implying he made calls in support of a "desired outcome" is frankly unacceptable, and beneath a man like Kear.

Well yeah FA, I think the idea that Joe Cobb is a secret Bulls' fan will bring quite a few guffaws from around Odsal!

I'm sure he'll improve as time goes by, but he's still very raw as a referee and whether he's at that point in his career where he should be refereeing these sort of games is an interesting call, imo. Overall, I'd say we both got some spurious decisions, but then you can often say that about even the best of officials....

Im glad we ware playing you this week, which means we shouldn't get Cobb as the ref on Sunday. Never been a fan of his, games don't have any flow when his refs.. Anyway I hope you lose on Sunday. Up the blue and white

Whats the video going around showing a kick to the corner and what looks like a Batley try? Is that from yesterday? Looks like a Bradford player tries to ground the ball but misses it, I guess that is given as a drop out?

Was the grounding that people are complaining about the player who originally collected the ball? If so, everyone seems to be forgetting (or not knowing) the rule. The ball has to be intentionally grounded. Being ankle tapped or clipped, then falling to the ground is not intentional grounding in any sense of the word. He's trying to run the ball out.

If he had leaned down to ground the ball, fair enough. But him being clipped and falling is the very definition of unintentional, therefore it doesn't matter in the slightest if he grounded it or not, it's still play on.

I was in The Coral stand, looking down and I thought he bounced it which was then pounced on for the try. But I've only seen it once, at full speed

Seriously, change the record FA. Yet again, someone has a difference of opinion and you accuse them of "being on drugs/substances". You are a one-trick pony and it is getting very tiresome now. You DO realise that people are entitled to have an opinion don't you?

It is also a bit low to try and humiliate people by making comments such as these.

Perhaps you are missing Adey to help you wear people down?

And I'm entitled to have an opinion on their opinion.

I really didn't take any offense at his post, I thought it were a little bit funny if I'm honest. The only way I may have taken a bit of offense is if I thought his opinion carried any weight.

unfortunately yes. If you decide to stay on this forum you will appreciate that its not Eddie arguing with FA, but FA indiscriminately arguing with anybody in sight, and that casts a shadow across the forum that the "light touch" moderators refuse to lift. Woe betide the fresh new optimistic Bulls poster that makes a slight error even in grammar, FA will be straight down your throat. He knows everything, except what a Bullanker he is. A Bullot on the Fanscape.

And he admits he has no sense of humour. Add together the biggest volume of postings on this forum by FA and no sense of humour, equals run for your life Dr Feelgood, go join the Saints or Leeds (oops maybe not) forum. Or be prepared for venomous contempt from Far and Away up the Spectrum for an innocent comment.

The recent reference on this forum to Adey being a Bullmchum of FA is unfortunately misplaced. Adey is far too emotionally intelligent to be an FA Bullmchum, which is why he has not made a single post on this FA dominated forum for a long time. Remember, his Adey Icon was a FATroll-spray.

unfortunately Greg the issue is weight. if you are not in the FA clique you have to put up with the quantity and quality of his stream of Bull aimed at anyone in his sights. It really does get a bit wearing. And of course not challenged by his Bulmchums the moderators.
