Quote Bonita Red="Bonita Red"I agree.
I'd watched Childs in his previous televised game and his quality was similar in Sundays game.
Sure, lets talk about the teams but Childs is an exceptionally poor referee. I mean really poor.
It's not particularly his game management,he just makes too many individual errors.
To put him in perspective,he makes Bentham and Thaler look good.
That's damning !'"
I think all referees in sport have a very rigid approach when their vision is obstructed, if in doubt give the decision to the team with a higher standing. I'm not having a pop at refs I think it's just a natural responce for them with less damaging repercussions, the last thing they want is to make a wrong decision that could lead to an upset result and a complaint. If you want a perfect example of a team that now get decisions they never used to get a few years back, look no further than Manchester City.
Over the years I've witnessed it work in Salford's favour on those occasions we dropped down a division.
