NB it is not unusual for you to side with the refs but you are way off mark this time. Seems only you, the VR and the ref were the only people not to notice Bird cheated AGAIN. It is not the first time he has done this and while we have such inept refs and people like you who will follow the ref come hell or high water he will keep on doing it. Why for once dont you try and support your team players instead of erronous refs. I dont notice you supporting Brock Lamb who had exactly the same tackle against him hence we managed to get a penalty which Dixon conveted but no yellow card to Cats.

The old Bird clearly mugged you as well.

I am a fan! And I do support the players but when they play stupid I will happily criticise.
Exactly the same tackle? Err go have a look again two very different tackles!
Not defending bird but I will stick by fact olsi was stupid, and yes 2 paid officials got it right on that occasion. Had he not pulled the leg sideways it would not have been a card.
Back to the old story, though it's the refs fault, no it's the players fault, no ref has ever been offside had hand in the ruck thrown the punch, get where am coming from.
You want an honest opinion I dont see olsi as a dirty player at all, but that's a paul Rowley trained incident.

Elliot Kear tackle could easily have been yellow, its noticable that's being ignored or is it expected to blindly support the players even after foul play, not long after bird went on a card I hear no one complaining about that.

But Olsi has also said he dived whilst you claim Olsi didn't complain. You just say whatever suits your argument, ref in real time I can see why he would have give it but you state player didn't complain and when advised he did you just gloss over. You're barometer is broken and you still claim all is well, I give up.

Great win again keeping us in the race when it seemed maybe we had run out of steam

Leeds HKR and Wake to go in in our hands.

Repeat to you NB this is incorrect over 100 people on FB from neutrals to club fans said Bird cheated and should be punished but you and your reffing buddies are the only ones to disagree. Like I said get behind the team instead of constantly chipping away at how they commit errors or your words 'he was stupid' No one is perfect and this team go all out to get the results. They dont lack commitment or effort (apart from Salford game) we have seen this game on game and every person in every team is allowed one off game just so happens our team all decided to do it the same day. Would you like it when you had all to play for and someone critisised you publically for an error. No I dont think so. DO you ever make errors in your job and have it spread over FB no I didnt think so. I
agree these are professional sportsman and it goes with the territory but they are also human and constantly pointing out the error of their ways does not help confidence. They have a lot to play for to keep us up and need support. Danny Ward and Jamie Langley will let them all know in the privacy of the dressing room what they expect and I may sound naive but I dont think chipping away at a player helps anyone

It's ok for NB to bag the players (as he's done with Brock also) but don't go after his beloved refs, heaven forbid they never do anything wrong.

Spot on

Do you expect any different from the ref's #1 fanboy ?

Care to explain why the panel used no case to answer rather than sin bin sufficient or NFA? Panel noted the lifting of leg but does not move opponent in the motion of which opponent falls, is that an elaborate way of noting a dive or did two paid officials still get it right?

FFS!!!...Surely anyone with any sense of reason could tell he threw himself head over heels...Find it hard to see any other point of view...He got Olsi yellow carded by faking it...It was so obvious that he would look a cheat on TV that the man has obviously lost all self respect...

2 paid officials got it right
Sin bin sufficient no further action, that's generally how it works
Not every sin bin or red card results in further action. Panel noted lifting of the leg which is against the laws of the game!

Doesn't say sin bin sufficient it states no case to answer, that's a marked difference to NFA or sin bin sufficient.

Care to show me where, in the laws its stated that lifting a leg is against the laws?

Keep in mind now the panel has stated that the lifted leg had nothing to do with the way Bird went over so please show me why Olsi lifting Birds leg is against the laws of the game and merits a yellow card?

Whilst you're there care to explain how the first tackle (on Lamb) that you stated was so different and not worthy of a card merited a 2 match ban? Clearly the two tackles were very different, unfortunately the ref and VR (given you've claimed both made the decision for Ols, when you state earlier it's the VR advised the ref) got them the wrong way around.
