Quote: the flying biscuit "
But that penalty count thing really got me last night...We got worse in the second half, so why did we get penalty after penalty to magically even up a 7-2 penalty count. ....surely that's cheating. ...not to help a particular team but the ref is cheating to get his own penalty count evened up again.
Very sad times. ...'"
Mr Biscuit, As a As a Salford fan of 40 years plus I'm used to seeing refereeing games like that. I think we get 50% of our penalties in the last 15 when the game has been decided. I've always said that they should print the penalties and who they're for like they do in Cricket scores when wickets fall. That way when people who haven't seen the game can see how the penalties have influenced the result.
If that was done I think the referees would become a lot fairer.
They don't even publish the penalty count as much as they used to.
