The kick off decision is actually perfectly correct.
The Catalan winger (Pelo i think) touches the ball in the air (as it hasn't touch the ground outside the pitch its still in play)and tries to knock it back into play. The ball then lands on the line , so therefore out of play from the Catalan winger.
Thaler got it right , shock !!! All the pundits are wrong.

Not the kick off call I am talking about.

By then the other two calls had given saints the game.

I really felt sympathy for Thaler at that point. Not a lot of support from the touch judge.

My point exactly, it was the correct decision, but the TJ was pathetic

Anybody like to comment on Catalans constant lying on and grapple tackles around the neck. The play the ball area today was more of a ruck have the refs received the instruction to slow the game right down this season.

No,no,noooooooooooo that didnt happen.

Yeah, it was no worse than Saints.

One shot showed a clear grapple on Steve Bell in the second half.

Everyone does it this year. Complaining about mucking around at the PTB since they've changed the interpretation is nothing but a red herring.

Christ I thought we was in decline yet all of the teams still fear the mighty saints!!!
