But the In Goal Judge didn't, that's my point.

To be honest if that was the case that would strengthen the argument that KR were hard done by, as the in goal judges never make a decision normally.

Yes he does

Think the point is you assume he knows what he is doing?

Being right behind this (was 3 wire players?) i had one of the best views (better than the in goal dude as he was to the side), saw the ball go to ground and Josh moved backwards, one of those calls for a video ref at all games again, id put a lot of money on that being give.

Seemed that the 50-50's went Wire's way, take the 'strips/in collision' there was 8 in total that i counted, 4 on each side, Rovers got one penalty from the very last one (5 mins to go?), the other 3 when Rovers were carrying were deemed knock ons. Wire had 4 and got a penalty for each. (not saying you didnt knock on etc, just with reference to these decisions). Cant say its advantage to attacking or defending side as it didnt work like that for both.

There was a number of dubious passes (for both sides) that were allowed.

Lets be frank about it, Rovers were always going to try spoiling tactics in the ruck, your play the ball is a hell of a lot faster and speed in attack, thus if we didnt we'd be blown away, Wire are smarter than us, you commit the extra man to the tackle and hold up for longer, thus it seems your not killing as much time. Wigan do it also. If you actually timed it, id say from impact i bet you held in the tackle for longer, difference was yours wasnt on the ground. When you did get quick play the balls, what happened...you scored. Cant go criticising for a tactic? Should we jump straight off when the defensive line isnt set and allow you to get a pen for being offside? All sides spoil, its just how you do and get away with it, as i say, you hold up before placing to ground (i wish we did it, never get penalised until it goes to ground).

Mr Roby though, looks lost, always looking for help, honestly think the current best referee is James Child (and thats hard for me to say), isnt afraid to admit a mistake, doesnt spot everything but is at least consistent with it.

Thought it was a good game, do feel agreeved about the result as it always seems to go away from us at the back end of the game and the scoreline doesnt flatter the effort at times. Your defence made us re-think in attack and correct there wasnt really a plan b, our kicking wasnt great, we seemed scared of your speed at times. Just hope you back it up on Sunday

On the flares and bottles, one idiot was booted out for the bottle that hit Roby's leg, id moved for the second half and Roby looked at me lol, had my hands in my pockets so wasnt me. The flare has become an annoying problem. Hoping those responsible get bans, but as others noted, people in glass houses shouldnt throw stones (or bottles), given the incident last week there isnt too much room to bitch about us. Wont be the last time something happens as beer takes over for those who cant handle it, nor understand whats going on in front of them, unfortunately beer is never going to be banned in the stands.

Bottles should be banned in the stadium, serve pints in plastic pots, serve draft soft drinks too, you ever try throwing one of those and you won't get as far as two rows in front of you.

Throwing objects on the pitch is ridiculous. I can't understand why someone would do it, but then again, mindless idiots are part of every clubs fan base.

These people should be ejected, banned and named and shamed. Put their picture and name in the newspaper and advertise the stupidity of the man (or woman) Hopefully shames people into not doing it in future

Completely agree it's idiotic and they should be charged, banned & vilified by their own supporters, however publicising those responsible would only shame them if they felt remorse for their actions. Otherwise they would see it as a "badge of honour". Don't give them the satisfaction.

For anybody that follows #AskTheRef on Twitter, some of Tim Roby's responses to Hull KR fan questions are amuzing...

Good lord

Lad

I find that whole thing a disaster waiting to happen to be honest. I read them yesterday and cringed to be honest. We are suppose to respect the officials but they respond with such replies, have seen a lot across the board, not involving HKR, and at some point they are going to be taken offence too. Giving a smart response isnt really going to gain respect is it? Makes them look a little more human but thats about it. I like the concept but it will end badly at some point. Unnecessary arguments will come from it.

There's a reason other sports don't have an official #AsktheRef - it's a PR disaster waiting to happen. All it will take is for one of these online spats to spill over into the real world and it's fold like a house of cards.

I'm all for accountability of refs but it should be through an official body, releasing open statements about refs performance (ie admitting when they get it wrong and actually doing something about it). All this does is allow idiots to abuse the ref personally and if the ref's are dumb enough to respond in kind then they're dragged down from a position of remote authority into the muck of a slanging match.

Agreed. It should be a proper response to proper questions, not this Urban Dictionary rubbish as seen above.

Bans in place, well done Hull KR: www.superleaguefans.com/hull-kin ... rders.html It bans them from entering Craven Park but no mention of away grounds - although I guess that would be harder to monitor.

Seen in the Guardian that they've been charged with something or other.
