i'm not a Catalans supporter - why do you assume I am ? as I said grow up and learn to lose...

and which 'little tin pot forum' should I go back to ?

my opinion (which I am entitled to just as you are without resorting to foul language) as a non FC or HKR fan and therefore completely unbiased is that Ganson is no cheat (and I bet you wouldn't say that to his face) but is equally as bad for you lot as he is for my lot even costing us the Championship Final a couple of years ago with a dodgy try for Leeds which was clearly offside but not given thanks to your 'cheating' mate Ganson

I don't likehim refing my team anymore than you do but it's out of our hands and up to the RFL or whoever to stop this guy ruining games

I would love to say it to his face and i even tried to as he was going down the tunnel at full time

Thierry Alibert?

And incidentally, you're entirely wrong that he didn't have a poor performance. He blatantly ignored Rovers not being square at the play the ball for the entire match, and wrongly penalised Westerman for ball steals twice. Jordan Turner was also adjudged to have knocked on over the line when he'd already stepped in touch 2 yards short. This latter may have been down to the touch judge, but could equally have been Ganson's penchant for ignoring them.

Halibut is a serial offender but point taken - let's see how he does in the Leeds game

Ganson should have action taken against him but do th RFL have the b***s to do it ?

some of the blame/responsability must lay with the linos ?

bet its water off a ducks back - he must be used to it by now ?

Yeah probably, he must be used to being a c**t by now.

He was dropped on the first occurence as well though, wasn't he?

No, they won't.

Possibly, although as I added in my edit, Ganson does have a habit of ignoring his linesman when he feels like it. Not always correctly, either.

Oh dear.
After briefly dipping your toes in the waters of reason you have since returned to frolic on the beach of denial.

the second half yesterday was probably the worst most bias incompetent reffing i have ever seen.
I think they are told to make the games as close and as competitive as possible by hammering one or other side with penalties.
The Sky commentators where only concerned with the number of tries that where being scored, this is all that matters to them and the RFL, try to make it as 'entertaining as possible.
Ruined the game, robbed us of two points, PG should put in an official complaint to the RFL, absolute joke the lot of them!!!

no, [ithey[/i are useful !

Didn't know Russell Brand was a Wovers fan.

If he's a cheat, he's an incompetent cheat. If he wanted us to win so badly, why check the restart which led to Martin's try or bin Dobson in the first half? Neither of those would have raised eyebrows if he'd given us the benefit. Easier to believe that he's merely a less than perfect ref, IMO.
It's the nature of the sport that in any close game you can identify decisions that turn out to be crucial. It was an especially egregious mistake, I admit.
I hate getting Thaler or Child against the big clubs because I think they have an unconcscious bias. 'Cheat' is a strong word though. Ganson is 'just' massively erratic, IMO. Easy for me to be sanguine today, like.
On the penalty count - one our penalties we got on the stroke of halftime, another instead of a scrum in the same position. Strips, interference and loose carries are often toss of a coin situations. It was a close game, we had some good fortune, and ultimately made the most of it.

He employed a very clever tactic which myself and some rovers fans discussed/predicted at the time. He binned Dobson (relatively harsh IMO) but he gave us no ball for that 10 mins and helped rovers back into the game. His agenda was clear for all to see. We just happened to be the team he'd decided would lose!!
The guy is a joke and he knows it, but he just loves everyone talking about him!!

My head says that's a good summary, but my heart says he's a cheating moron who lost us the game. His decisions led to you wining the game, at the very least putting us in a massive disadvantage.

If you truly believe that Rovers apparently not committing a single penalisable offence in the second half of an intense Derby game was 'good fortune' then I have a couple of bridges you may wish to purchase.
