I don't like to sign up to conspiracy theories, but that's two games in a row where we've got absolutely nowt from the official in the first half; if you were a cynic, you'd almost believe that our card was marked in relegation year.'"
Glad you have mentioned this because I am a cynic. All you have to do is get heavily penalised for the first 15 minutes and the best teams in SL would find it difficult to get back into the game. The refs can even things up later but its too late the tone has been set and its all over.
I can understand head high shots, crossing, offside etc. But many of those last night that we got at the play the ball were killers. What we did was no different to what Bradford were doing but for some reason we seemed to get penalised. Further to that the penalty always seemed to happen on the 4th or 5th tackle.
Salfords first try last week came on the back of around 20 consecutive PTB's. Bradfords first try last night was just the same. Hard not to be suspicious.
