Absolutely delighted that we won so that I can call out the biggest most blatantly bent and biased bag of b*llocks I have ever witnessed from a referee without coming off as a sore loser.
We need to put in an official complaint in about that clown today. Conceding 13 penalties in a game is completely unacceptable, conceding 13 penalties IN THE FIRST HALF is an absolute disgrace. These weren't for foul play, they were arbitrary, technical offences that were ignored when London did the same thing.
We conceded 10 penalties IN A ROW, lost 2 men to the sin bin for team warning in the process and London scored 14 unanswered points in that time against 12 then 11 men.
I am normally reasonable with regards to referees once the final whistle goes but that today was a disgrace. We were reffed out of the game for the 1st 40 minutes and I would have been livid if we had lost today.
Don't want to take away from London who were well drilled and genuinely impressed me. I am sure they were as frustrated by the stop start nature of the game as we were and they came damn close to turning us over.
But that today was unacceptable from the man in the middle and it is a long time since I felt so aggrieved at a ref and it felt like a 'victory' against him that we eventually got the win despite his best efforts. Hope we don't have him again any time soon.
