Quote: Psychedelic Casual "James Child hang your head in shame - you created all that. The game spiralled out of control because you allowed Catalans to get away with horrendous tactics all game and your excuse was continually “I didn’t see it”!
Yet you saw and managed to penalise and sin bin Warrington players for high tackles, two of which were across the collar and one was under the arm pit.
He allowed constant second or third man purposeful knees in tackles by Catalans, constant second or third man purposeful landing on heads in tackles, knees in the face, ripping off head guards, head high shots by Catalans set after set after set after set all game and creating an air of violence.
It caused all the second half fighting, it caused the fighting in the stands.
I was after beating someone up I was so angry and I was only sat at home!
Catalans and McNamara are also to blame as it was their tactics to rough Wire up, as are the lads in the stands who didn’t have to fight. But it was all down to the referee and his officials allowing the dirty tactics by Catalans.
James Child, watch that full 80minites back and, as I said as the start, hang your head in shame!'"
It definately didn't cause the fighting in the stands. Regardless of how bad a referee is, it shouldn't cause scenes like what we've seen tonight. Posts like this just brings the trolls to our board, like the inbreed above.
I get your frustration with Child though. He had no control of the game from the first whistle. There was 14 referee's on the pitch tonight. The 1 in black spent 80 minutes being told what to do by the 13 in white.
The standard of referee'ing, like what we've just seen, is exactly why I've fallen out of love with the sport. Glad I didn't go.
