Just wondered if anyone chanthing fat granny beater at Ganson last night can come on here and tell me how they thought that may help? I from time to time give refs stick but surely its better to try get the ref on your side, dont know if anyone saw Ganson smirking at the shed as he walked off at the end and that is obvouisly down to the chanting i know if i was taking personal abuse i dertainly wouldnt help the people who were giving it me.We do seem to have a element of the support who just dont think about what they are doing and for me until we get away from the willows and perhaps attract some new support things wont change!! PS crap performance last night the guys from the previous two games just didnt turn up personally i thought it looked like our guys thought they just had to turn up to win and anybody who knows anything about sport will say once you got that attitude you cant turn it around during the game. We stand a better chance as underdogs at cas!!

I chanted it because of his decisions and the fact i think he's a utter Cun*

Many shed regulars are becoming increasingly pathetic. That chant directed towards the Crusaders fans being the best example of their utter childishness... (The "it's nice to know you're here" chant.) Seriously lads, there was about 200 of them. Well 'ard!

Back to Ganson. No complaints from me. Arguably the best ref in Super League these days. Not really interested in what goes on in his private life.

Reds 1, Read the post dont care what you think of him or anyone for that matter i care about what your chanting does to salford city reds and believe me its not helping. I know it probably makes you feel better but i feel so much better when we win!!

My mate said their was a little brawl after the game with the fans, did anyone see it or is it a load of BS?

hand bags at dawn, one of our tosspots again, we could have been in more trouble because of another tosspot shouting crap during the match , I put the welsh lads back on their coach and the suits got the Salford ones back into the tavern, nothing really.

Have to agree, despite my calling Ganson before the game, I think he got most things spot on - unlike the video ref - HOW the F**K could that last try have been grounded?

And the rules of RL - in what other sport do you get the "benefit of the doubt" to score - that rule stinks - if it's not 100% clear that a score has happened, then in my book it hasn't! But not in RL!!!!!!

I'm with Ganson, that granny shouldn't have stolen his taxi. Fair play to him for dealing with her.

Ganson is the best SL Referee , that's not me saying that , that's what Salford Players have told me!

Truth is we should have been Home & Dry 30 mins in with the amount of ball we had ,

That was nothing to do with the ref , and the lottery that is the video ref Ben Thaler would have been inconsequential had we capitalised on our chances & possession.

Had we taken the 2 points for the penalty rather than trying to run in a try at the end of the 1st half we would have started the 2nd half off 2-0 or 0-0 rather than 0-6.
It was Bad decision making by the team not the ref that cost us .

The Thicko chants tend to start when we are behind and make us look like bad losers..

We are in a really bad state if the best ref in SL is Steve "I didn't quite see it, I'll have to go to the screen" Ganson. As for getting him onside you've got no chance. The bloke is arrogant in the extreme. My dad shouted to him at the club end after he'd made an error that "the officials are ruining rugby league!" He wasn't abusive, he wasn't foul mouthed merely stated a fact!!! Ganson's response? Turned round, winked at my dad, scratched his and laughed at him while making some comment to one of the other officials.

Remember he is supposed to be a professional. If a player responds to the crowd he would get hauled over the coals for it. These men are bomb proof! They are not accountable and they don't have to answer to fans or the press like coaches have to after a game. If they have a bad game it can cost a coach his job!!!

And he's a Saints fan! Enough said!!!!

Don't suppose your Dad has ever been a full time, professional, international RL referee has he?
Still, he's obviously best placed to conduct Ganson's performance evaluation.
Personally I think miserable old farts who constantly moan about referees are ruining the game far more than the officials.


Seems perfectly reasonable.


That's just utter bolloc[size.[/sizeks.
