Im presuming its cos it was put on report therefore you give the penalty from the infringement

If it wasnt going on report then it would have been advantage

I thought he gave a couple of wrong calls but on the whole he seemed fine to me. . Agree with the luaki comments too,rovers got away with loads of dirty stuff but then again i suppose if he only sees a punch thrown thats what he penalises.i dont think either set of players covered themselves in glory though to be honest.

Silverwood kept the game flowing whilst exerting control over some excesses

Whereas the Saints/ Pie game was ruined as a spectacle by the ref taking a starring role and failing IMHO to get a full grip early on.

We had Terry Albert in our game, and he had no idea what was going on. I'm sure he didn't even understand his own decisions half the time.

Well that's ridiculous. What advantage will Hull get from the incident being on report? Could he not have put the incident on report and played on from where the advantage finished? It's just a ridiculous decision to me and I can't get my head around it at all.

But the players did no wrong, they never do. They play by the rules, never try to cheat or hurt or injure anyone and talk nicely to each other.

Those nasty, overbearing, know the rules, match officials ,however, are a different kettle of fish!!!

Wow, did he knock on? Make a high tackle? Punch someone in the tackle?

Plyers foul play amd mistakes spoil games.

Im presuming, cant think of another reason why advantage wasnt allowed

What are you on about this time...?

He's on about the same thing he's always on about. It's the same boring rhetoric and it doesn't ever get any more meaningful. I'm not sure why, but he seems to think that because one group of people is being criticised (in this case match officials), all other people are being completely exonerated. It's a bizarre position to take, especially given the number of threads devoted to criticising players and coaches.

Oh right. Well that's good of him isn't it. I thought he might actually be able to back up his bizarre rant, but from your description it seems that is unlikely...

He's just being a tit as usual.

Why dont refs use the big screen for incidents which do not have to be for a try i.e of the ball stuff?
That way the player could be punished in the match and benifit the team that he does the offence too instead of being gutless and putting it on report.

Aye, the match officials always know the rules an never do anything wrong. I mean, you'd never expect someone to break the Data Protection Act and contravene their companies Information Technology policy by giving out personal details of fellow employees to a Trade Union.

Oh, wait a minute..................

A penalty doesn't have to be given to place a player on report. The Liam Colburn incident last week illustrated that.
