you are a fool of the highest order little man complete braindead whining little girly bird

should have been a penalty on half way line that's the problem with most fans aint got a clue what the rules are

Dobson is a good kicker.

He ''tracked the wrong player?'' Every man and his dog could see as clear as day the player that grounded the ball was the player that was clearly offside.

It's incompetence of the highest order, and this clown is head of referees? He should be relieved of his duties, he's not up to the job. It's a farce.

No, Jon Sharp is the head of the referees.

Dobson would have kicked it from 80 metres out. He's a good kicker.

don't be daft! he maybe a good kicker but he isnt superhuman!

The result should stand. We as HKR must rise above this.

However, regardless of this it was a fantastic close game by both teams spoiled by an idiot in a box that wasn't watching the game. Whats the point of the effort if this little meglamaniac is given the opportunity to toss a coin to decide who wins. We have ALL sufferred unanswerable decisions at the hands of this 'character' but this time he has nowhere to hide. For the love of god, just sack his ass.

Ignoring a player that far offside he was in a different half of the field??? Stupid does not come close to describing you does it?

I'm not sure what, why or who you're having a go at there.
Plus he was perhaps 2 metres offside, if it had been a regular game with no video ref I'm willing to bet the try would have been given anyway.
That's not to excuse the ridiculous decision though.

He's never been a good ref for the game, because he comes across to me as one who's always sought to be part of the limelight. Referees with 'personality' are almost always A Bad Thing. The only time they can get away with it is once they've got a reputation for being exceptionally good at their job, e.g. Collina, or Dickie Bird. Ganson has never been good enough to afford to be a 'character'.

Let's face it, good refs have to be almost saintly in their dedication. Its pretty much thankless, and not well paid, and your career scrapbook is pretty much filled with the mistakes you made, not the 1000s of good calls...BUT...that's the job. I wouldn't do it for sure, but those that have the desire to do it also need to accept the fact that they're not supposed to be centre of attention, in fact more than that, their job is to engineer things such that they're hardly noticed. I don't think Ganson ever accepted that as part of the job description.

I'm still confused as to how it is even possible to track the wrong player.
Surely you track a player and find he is nowhere near the ball so you go back and track another one.
In fact that excuse creates more questions then it answers.
