It doesn't matter what he said? There's one thing questioning the decision (which is illegal anyway - unless it's the captain) and saying something offensive to the referee. Joel's frustrations probably stemmed from his own performance and it is the referees job to put his toys back in the pram.

I assume that you're on a wind up, if not then I can only hope that you're in the minority.

All these comments are relevant - getting back to my original post, though, do you think Ganson will be consistent the next time he refs a Saints game. Will he sin-bin a Saints player ( KFC , James Graham?) for dissent? Or will they have no cause for dissent ....?!

The proof of the pudding ........!

I don't think SL give Gansen Saints games any more. I know he's not reffed for a while due to injury but I can't remember the last time he was in charge of a game Saints were involved in. To answer your question though I think he probably would send a Saints player to the sin bin should it be required. Refs get monitored and rated at every game these days and they are mic'd up so any dissent from on the field will be heard and recorded. Any percieved deliberate bias from a referee would be picked up
