The Wigan one I remember being in the Fletch and at the final hooter just been stood in shock for a few moments thinking WTF happened there.

As for Ref David Campbell he was ref once for Priestley v Widnes college and lost control of it.

I remember my cousin playing for Leigh Town team once, he scored 4 tries, all chalked off. All of them completely legit, the last one the most blatant bit of cheating ever.

1st one foot in touch, the TJ didn't put his flag up but the ref saw it
2nd and 3rd one foot dead in goal which was nonsense as he was nowhere near.
4th one, 40 metres out from the try line, broke the line, side stepped the fullback went under the sticks.
Ref said he failed to ground it correctly, cousin threw the ball at him called him a cheat, sent off.

....was Billy Thompson that ref too?!!

No idea but Mickey Higham was in that team too, he might remember.

It wasnt BT then.

remember both hull and wigan games..the bob eccles no try if my memory serves me correct,wasnt he put thru by dave chisnall or a forward rounded the full back only for thopson to bring him back,and ronnie duane to miss the kick..im sure the phil ford try came from a ken kelly kick which hit a hull player so played everyone on side but not to that clown..the russell smith one was also a disgrace,just typical of the decisions wigan got and still do do only on a lesser scale..imagine if silverpud was around in those days wed be relegated

I met Billy Thompson a few times and he once told me about a Wembley final he refereed...He visited both team's dressing rooms and declared *Listen lads, nobody's ever been sent of here before but Billy Thompson's never been here before*....An hour later he sent Syd Hynes off.

semi final of cc v Oldham (if I remember correctly) - forward pass that took us to Wembley in the early 90's.
Oldham were robbed.

Talking about yourself in the third person is a trait of narcissism, people who talk about themselves in the third person are also people I have the least amount of time for.

Fez if you refer to the try Thomas scored in the corner late on it was never a forward pass.

I was there and I'm sure it wasn't Mark Thomas.
I thought Steve Malloy put a pass out that Bob Jackson took out wide right of the sticks ??
