What's it matter anyway? He does this match this week then back to superleague next week, and hey presto all is forgotten about.

It should be forgotten about (what he did), my problem is with Alibert's lack of understanding of the game. I'm fine with what Thaler did whether he was really allowed to do that or not. At least he tried to get the right decision made.

Watching last week's game it is not beyond the realm of possibility that Alibert has something against Catalans. Of course the other explanation, equally plausible, is that he is just incompetent.

Either way Catalans should have won by a 12 point bigger margin had there been a quality video referee on hand.
