penalty count 13-5 in saints favour.

team bossing a game normal gets the penalty s as we bossed most of it 13-5 penalty count says it all bentham should be stood down for 8 weeks then put in division 3

It's our own fault we are so insidciplined Jerry's and perhaps the Wardle one after the sending offapart I'd say the penalties were justified and were for petulance and stupidity rather than 50/50 calls and we have been giving them away week in week out and the sooner we get a grip the better. Kicking out on the full, pulling a players leg as he tries to get up and play the ball, tackling a playet in the air are inexcusable and need to be addressed

It's been a while since there has been a game as controversial as this one to result in so many posts. As far as Brough's last drop goal attempt, I can't tell from all I've seen at the match and on TV whether it succeeded or not, so I am prepared to accept the referee's decision. What really annoyed me was the second drop goal attempt (at about 76:40) when Saints were clearly at least a yard offside at the play-the-ball, allowing them a chance to block the drop goal attempt. That should have been a penalty to Giants with an almost certain 2 points. I have to agree with other posters that, if the same situation had arisen at the other end 3 minutes later with Saints drop goal being blocked, I have a sneaking suspicion that Bentham would have given a penalty.

The camera behind the stick is dead in the centre of the posts, the ball travels between the posts and moves/veers after passing them as it loses momentum.

If you watch Bentham when the kick is taken he is in the best position of anyone or any camera on that field. End of.

No, they wouldn't. Both teams got calls for them, both got calls against them. That's how it goes.

I thought our defence late on was absolutely exceptional. Fair few players playing who were rushed back somewhat injury wise, but we showed some real desire and commitment to get off the line.

Thankfully we managed to get down the field and Walsh slotted it over.

Sorry but if a winning score is incorrectly chalked off then yes, you've been robbed by that decision.

As for their desire and commitment, it unfortunately drifted into being offside.

Spot on. Tough to take but looking at all the evidence it's likely Bentham got it right as he was best placed. Even the kicker wasn't looking when the ball reached the posts.

jerry when he got up and was shoved by walsh? should of been a pen to us, he didnt hold him down he was appealing for a knock on in the collision, the ball was between walsh's legs he lost the ball i had a clear view from my seat.

and the wardle on he was being held by the collar by lomax so had no chance to get up in time, another wrong call by bentham

Having watched the game back and not noticiing it at the game, at everyone of Brough DG attempts not one Saints player in the TV shot was anywhere near the goal line...i think the 2nd one there were 3 of them at least 2 or 3 yards off the line when the PTB happened....why did none of the officials see or even look for that as it would have been pretty obvious from the 1st one that they got out very quickly !

Both had calls for them, both had calls against them.

We played as poorly as we have done this season carrying players who wouldn't have played had it been a league game and are through. Time to move on now.

As Mr Bentham was leaving the stadium a very reputable source was witness to the following:

A couple of fans shouted to PB "That was a disgrace".

Smiling back, he said "I shall have a big game next week, just you see".
