Shocking performance, in front of a rather large away following aswell. We are constantly going on about raising attendances, and when the supporters bother to pay their hard earned money to attend they are subject to an abysmal showing like that!

I just reckon some referees would, on occasion, still let it slide. Then there's also the issue of words that aren't strictly foul nor abusive but are deeply damaging to the integrity of refereescheat[/i. It's a difficult issue to get a consistent, uniform method of dealing with.

I reckon some of the French players and (Welsh) could get away with murder when it comes to dissent, we don't know what Smith said, one mans foul and abusive language is another mans Shakespeare. Some of the students I work with use the F word in normal conversation, it is used in their homes and as such it is part of their vocabulary no matter how many times we pull them up for it.

Worst referee ever, still hate him with a passion, one of the happiest days of my life when it was announced he was retiring and couldnt penalise us to death anymore so many matches he ruined our chances in because he got personal and didnt give us a fair crack.

I believe Steve Blakeley would agree with you.

Up against Russell Smith & the Connolly bros, that's some statement 2.6220703125:5
