Can we also look up what 'consensus' means, please.

again.... 'benefit of the doubt' ?

RFL in sticking together shock

That article from Bentham reads as an arrogant little man. He could just admit he made a mistake. There is no way he knew for certain it was missing, but no he is too arrogant to admit it, instead he uses other refs as an excuse for his mistake. I've spoken to many people, people who are fans of other teams and people who don't really have any particular team they support. No-body thinks Bentham should not have gone to the video ref, he brings our sport down and yet our sport is run by idiots who can't see that we need to sort arrogance from the man in the middle like Bentham on Sunday. It should be a long long time before he takes a match that Fartown are in again.

If you read it and thought about rather tahn being on your little subtle wind up you would realise the fault in his arguement.

I cannot cut and paste with this chtromebook BUT



He said i am adamant it did not go over

then says

The only thing that would have helped would have been taller posts.

Therefore he is not adamant it did not go over because he is accepting some doubt because the posts were not high enough and that would have helped him to be more adamant.

How adamant was he 70, 80 90%.

If there was doubt go to the VR even if it had been referred back to him. That is whuy i am annoyed.

All that about refs have to make decisions we dont want to go the VR all the time.

He went on how to start the game and should he give a penalty for a marginal contact to apleyer in the air when Lawrence tackled Lomax.

Yet ona huge fundamental decision he did not want to go to the VR.

Bull Mr Bentham and you know it.

I would imagine he is not referring to his decision but everybody else's opinion of it.

Just for you Diablo. Consensus- General agreement.

Quite. Given the amount of disagreement on every thread I've seen, you don't have this.

Unless you use the "only including the people who agree with me" approach to reaching a consensus.

not as bad as Ganson at MM.

Agreed but then Ganson soon hung up his boots, let's prey bentman goes the same way, sooner rather than later.

But he was right!!!!

.....................and you sir are a mod !

What a bloody joke!

Exactly the point I made Matt

All supporters have to pay money each week to watch
"The Ben Thaler Show " The James Childs show" The Phil Bentham Show and its all the more contentious a performance when its on TV and all the World can see Wow

We dont watch RL any more where the ref is there to see a fair contest between 2 teams where the better team on the night / injuries, and luck of the bounce what means the difference

No not a bit

Its down to his interpretation --and when he cant make a decision --then we`ll reger it to the man upstairs --and when he cant make a decision (and the cameras are there ) we`ll rerun it from every which way but loose --and then it might be offside or obstruction 40 yards back and 5 or 6 passes previous ----or benefit of doubt ---or to the attacking side .........or can I Phone a Friend

It sadly IS a JOKE --but serious as its killing the game IMO

Professional ? Sorry full time and paid !
Up to the standard of the players and the sport
Definitely not! They havent improved one jot !

Durham giant just asking, not winding up or anythingbut where were you sat during the game
