I wasn’t really asking you, I was after the opinions of people slightly less myopic.

As ever Printer my post like so many others goes right over your ultra defensive head!

The whole gist of my post was that it made no sense to suggest he was targeting the ref, for Christ sake man clam down and read between the lines

Haha, yeah we had a laugh at that!

I should have made it more clear ! - rugby players have repect for the referee compared to football players - most of the time anyway!

That’s the point, I want challenging your view, probably the opposite, hence I don’t understand the lecture you gave me.

The OP made an interesting observation rather than an accusation, why not leave it at that. You’ve simply created an argument where there wasn’t one.

I personally just think it’s a curious turn of events rather than anything else. Though why I’m bothering to explain I don’t know as I’m sure whatever is written by anyone will offend

Jeez you're sensitive, I hope being called "myopic" and "ultra defensive head" is the worst criticism I ever get, maybe social media isn't for you?

I think what they are trying to say is despite overwhelming evidence and opposite opinion, you never change your mind.
If it's a discussion you should be open to a different opinion. You do argue well and I enjoy your input but I have never known you accept another opinion, you just go back relentlessly.
Sometimes you are right and that's ok. But sometimes you are not.

Well it’s not my fault my opinion is always the correct one. If people just understood this they wouldn’t be the arguments

Can’t believe it’s on the 7th page and still trying to defend the obvious

Yes mate and hankies in the top pocket I had the honour of serving my apprenticeship under a great Cas player in the sixties and his brother also played for Cas. Cas played Fev in a midweek evening match and said brother was tackled by Mal Dixon late in the game. Dixon on all fours proceeded to give said brother a prolonged facial and my mentor ran 20 yards and kicked Dixon square up the as hard as he could. We then had the hilarious sight of prop forward Dixon trying to chase and catch a winger before things calmed down and my mentor was sent off. His slow walk to the tunnel was applauded by every one with much laughter. He told me next morning that he had pleaded with Clay that "he's my brother" Clays response was "I don't care, even if it had been your mother your still going off"
Another I remember was Cas at home to Hull. Billy Thompson ran out of the tunnel and the Hull fans (who had populated the Princess Street stand opposite) proceeded to chant "who's the bar steward in the black. Thompson ran all the way across the pitch to confront them, pointed at his chest and said "I am"
Sadly those days have gone.

It’s quite simple really. It is the players responsibility to avoid contact with the officials at all times. It matters not whether the referee is in the line the player wants to run, he has to move to avoid him. Parcell quite clearly keeps not doing that, hence the ban.

I know Jinjer, I called Robert Hicks a c##t and was threatened with a ban, it made me go into my shell a little. I questioned my whole existence.

won't be long before she has another meltdown

Lesson learned eh Rider?
