| Quote: SRV "We call out referees for not making big decisions...yet when they do, they receive the same criticism! It was a ferocious game which could have gone either way.
We were far from our best, but in the cup, as long as you get the win it doesn't matter. I think it will stand us in good stead that we showed we can see out a close match when the pressure is on. As for Hull, they proved again they can mix it with the best, and when they get their players back, they'll have confidence they can win a play off semi final should they reach one.
As a Saints fan, it's good to see that the bitterness from other fans is back. People making up that we always get the easy draw, when we've drawn one Championship side in 6 years and have had plenty of away ties in that time, and making up that Abdull was sin binned against us earlier this year to fit their agenda.
People always have that bitterness against the best side in the league. Castleford copped it last year and at various times since 2010 so have Wigan, Warrington and Leeds when they were the best side. This time last year, we were nothing, not worthy of comment or anger from opposition fans. And that fact that we now do shows that we're back!'"
Great post.

It all started with Fash, nothing wrong with the tackle on LMS, but Fash pushed his head into the face of LMS as he was trying to get up, then the "handbags" started, along came Washbrook and ended up going into the side of the head of LMS with his knee. I think Washbrook just wanted to rough him up but you have to keep your knees away from the head, he should have just joined the handbags instead.

| Quote: vastman "Don't agree and I rate Thaler.
Houghton's sin binning was marginal and Thaler could have let it go as a penalty and shown a bit of discretion. By wanting to be overly tough and zealous he chose to send him off and lets be right here plenty of those get nothing more than a penalty.
By doing this he gave himself no options when it came to Washbrook's far more obvious sending off. This meant the ref as ever in the modern game made himself the centre of attention because imo far to many of them believe themselves to be the stars of the game. It went from a punishment to a certain game changer giving Saints a totally undeserved advantage.
It was poor reffing in my opinion and ruined what could have been one of the great game.Also I on't think Hull did come to get 'down and dirty, certainly no more that Saints did, think you've been suckered on that one.'"
Well you need to have a quiet word with Radford, pre game he was quoted as saying "We will be playing on the Cusp of Legality". Just watched the replay again with Houghton, prior to other two Hull players coming in to compress the tackle, Houghton was twisting Richardson neck as though he didn't know if his head was screwed on with a left or right hand thread, surprised the disciplinary have ignored it like most grapple tackles these days.

How wrong can you be?

Yes I’m surprised anybody doesn’t!
Just to want to be a ref you need to be a bit odd.
