The need for a second referee is obvious.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but with the individual concerned I can't help but thinking its a bit a karma for last seasons magic derby

Sky should follow BBC Challenge Cup games and let you listen to the video ref during his decision making. I quite like that little touch

Got to agree, why can we not listen to what the video ref is saying, works very well on the beeb and PS.

I have seen cock-ups by VRs every bit as bad. And no - they weren't all against my team, either. It was a terrible decision but actually not the worst I've seen. Anyone who expected things to improve under Ganson really hasn't been paying attention over the last couple of decades.

Two wrongs don't make a right. But we get apologists for officials on here every time there's a poor decision claiming 'it evens out over the season' when it clearly doesn't, so you'll have to forgive Hull fans and to an extent Gentle for indulging in a little schadenfruede.

Actually I don't care whether you forgive us or not.

What difference would that make on this occasion? He would still have given the try.

So, what is the worst decision you have ever seen?

OK...

2007 - VR makes an unasked for and illegal intervention which results in the on-field ref awarding a penalty where there was none. As a direct consequence the result of the game is affected.

2013 - VR makes a massive but perfectly legal cock-up that directly affects the result of the game.

And you think these are two 'entirely different' scenarios?

Also, if you replay the entire set of 6 leading up to that try you'll see that Thaler makes a huge mistake in KR's favour. He calls the 4th tackle [itwice[/i and do Lynch takes the ball up to run it in and set up the final play. Just before he makes contact with the defensive line Thaler suddenly starts screaming '5! It's 5!' and lynch has to unload the ball in a panic, resulting in Houghton's aimless hoof up field.

Now - who knows what would have happened had he called the tackle count correctly? Most likely we wouldn't have been in the position we were caught in as a result of his inability to count to 5.

How far back in the game do we check for cock-ups?

Do you see now why the Operational Rules specifically forbid a result to be challenged on the basis of a decision by an official?

Has to be yesterdays for me. Beats the Tansey one

That question was actually for Kosh. He claims it was not the worse decision he has seen. I wondered what was.

A few years ago I saw the VR award a try when the 'scorer' had clearly dropped it and not regathered before it hit the ground. I'd put that marginally ahead of yesterday's shocker.

You are clearly stupid if you think Watt's decision was worse than yesterdays.

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I'm sure the fact that your team benefitted from the decision has no bearing whatsoever on your assessment of the severity.

My opinion was that it looked 50/50 whether the ball was juggled and regained in the split second it hit the floor. Yesterday was as plain as day.

I see no rovers fans have as yet questioned why your full back didn't make any attempt to catch the ball whilst being completely Unopposed .
