| Looking at the stats is one thing, but if you look at Bentham's PERFORMANCE during those games then it's clear something is wrong.
If we get penalties, we get them on the 1st and second tackle between "4 and 6" points on the pitch. The opposition, however, get them later on in the count nearer the wings. 50/50 decisions never go our way, and certainly in the Leeds game, he was doing us for offside and lying on, yet letting Leeds get away with them.
The above, I appreciate, simply sounds like a moan, but when you get even neutrals noticing it, then there is obviously something in it.
Another annoying trait with Bentham is the way he speaks to our players. He's very dismissive and indifferent with them, whereas he will speak at more length, and helpfully with others. Referees are meant to be 'pro-active',in that they will warn players when they're at risk of giving penalties away; with Wigan he doesn't do that. He just blows his whistle.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

No, only Wigan fans do that - someone even started YET another thread on Southstander about this board in relation to this thread, without recognising that
1. It's 5 years old.
2. Since it was reopened more Leeds fans have posted on it than Wigan fans.
3. That 53 page James Child thread.

| Blame me - for starting it in 2010 and then starting it again 5 years later!
Everyone is entitled to form his or her own opinion about some of the VR decisions the last 2 months of the season. Some might see there is a common denominator or even several.
I said, though, a couple of pages ago it is time to put it to bed.....!
