You say that but I did see on Sky Sports News that Matterson trashed him as well and basically said he spoiled the contest rotten.

Nothing will happen, will it

True. I mean at the beginning the video ref was great because the refs had all been trained to not rely on it and to make calls and only use it if they were genuinely unsure. Since Cummings became boss of the refs that premise has flipped completely. They are now sh*t scarred of getting a decision wrong and I think ultimately that has to dent performance. If your always thinking negative, performances are going to be negative? I don't think the plonkers on sky help mind, arguing over every little decision.

Oh and yes the touch judges are really poor.

I think refs are ruining a lot of games, purely because of the amount of times they do blow up for no reason. Need to let a lot more flow.

I just don't get how the Yawnion refs are just streets ahead of ours.

On the rare occasion I watch the kick and clap, their refs and touch judges miss very little.

That's because they play at slugs pace and don't really have a defensive line to deal with.

They do tell the ref what they have seen, using the radios.

However, 3 times last night, Silverwood was told of Leeds players being offside (which is fine) and then that they were involved in the tackle (which should be a penalty)

He ignored all of them.

Bingo! Just because the touch judge isn't running about with his flag aloft doesn't mean he isn't having any input

The touch judges have been inept in numerous matches this season, where the crucial pass was at least several yards forward.

Leeds's try against Saints a few weeks ago from Watkins's pass. All agreed on Sky about this one.

Saints 1st try last week against Bradford ( Brian Carney commented on this on one of the Sky review prorammes.)

And dare I mention Meli's try at Cardiff....?!!

No doubt Hull fans would dispute Charnley's tries from Lockers's long passes, but I would argue they were line-calls or Stevo's momentum rule...!

the touch judge can give the call but its up to the ref if he goes with the decision

Next time hull have him reffing every 50/50 call will go against them that is a cert

You get that at amature level it's a joke

sorry dont agree some 5o/50 calls will go against them and the ones that do u will say told u so so the ref cant win in ur case

The Lima sin binning was a disgrace.
The rule says that a player can't tackle the standing leg of a player.
"Standing" mean staionary. At no point in the incident was Clarkeson stationary or on a stood still on a standing leg.
When Lima decided to tackle, Clarkson was running. At the point of impact the Leeds player had the tackled leg off the ground as he was still running. Basically his legs were pumping as he pushed the two Wigan tacklers back.
Silverwood made his decision on the word on the TJ's.
They said he tackled the standing leg, which was nonsense!
It was a legitimate tackle.

That's my take on it too. How can you have a standing leg if you'r moving? Hopefully the disciplinary panel see it the same way. Silverwood binned Michael Shenton for the same thing last week but he didn't recieve a ban
