All referees give decisions as they see them if it's a penalty then it's a penalty, all any supporter can ask for is consistency which doesn't always happen, and when you lose more than you win you tend to look for excuses.
As you'll appreciate which ever way your travelling over the 62 on a Friday night it's far from ideal, like you at our place you'd plenty missing so have we tomorrow and there all forwards and as hard as it would have been with a nearly full side out anyway if we keep it to 40 then we'll have done well even though yourselves are missing a lot as well, as for Child he's the worst thing to happen to us since Ashley Kline so taking all those things into consideration I'm afraid Mr Child tips the scales for some of us to give it a miss.

This thread is like deja vu all over again...

Child's

I'm fu*ked if I know how I spell it.

James it is....or is it Jame's or maybe Jame.

Some people are stupid and probably do think he's biased against us. I think for most people though it's already a game they can't really be bothered with, it's a Friday night game over the Pennines, we've got a few out and are probably focusing on the semi final, Wigan will be up for this as much as any game this season after being humiliated at Belle Vue and it could quite easily be the same scoreline if not more in their favour if they really fancy it. Then throw in Child's ridiculously pedantic reffing, which we're usually on the receiving end of simply because our discipline is atrocious even with a good referee, and what would most likely have been a bad night becomes a dreadful night. I think for some he's just the straw that broke the camels back.

The only positive to you absolutely spanking us would be Vastman might stop spewing his diarrhoea for a day or two.

How many have Wakey got missing compared to us with 8 of our starting 17 out?

Probably about the same (Anderson, Michael, England, Kirmond, Scruton, and Tupou, in the forwards + Gibson and Johnstone) but we don't have the depth of quality you guys have.

Regarding James Child. Copy/paste from another poster. Our record with him in charge:-

1/4/13 - Wakey 22-34 Hull FC LOST
19/1/13 - Hull KR 44-18 Wakey LOST
4/8/13 - Wakey 24-26 Bradford LOST

3/8/14 - Wakey 18-36 Huddersfield LOST
1/3/15 - Widnes 58-16 Wakey LOST
22/8/15 - Leigh 16-17 Wakey WIN (Says more about Leigh's form in last years middle 8's)
14/2/16 - Cas 40-6 Wakey LOST
18/3/16 - Hull 22-4 Wakey LOST
17/6/16 - Wakey 6-32 Leeds LOST

Lost 11
Won 1

And that does not include the damage he's inflicted on us when he's been a touch judge.

Your probably right, but how would Child know that with his poor eyesight.

He's gone from villain to the mayor of Wakey in 40 mins!

The boycott has worked a treat! An absolute shambles of a reffing display (for both teams) from Jamey Child.

Can the whole league not boycott him?

Shambles that's generous he's be absolutely shocking, don't remember ever seeing us get two players sin binned and one sent off in one half!

Not there myself but commentry suggesting it should have been 2 sending offs and 1 sinbin instead. But yes i would happily boycott the fool.
