I have backed you up in the past when people have got personal, I am simply doing the same in return. I am sick and tired of repeating myself to you regarding Mrs B and her posts and why she "gives up on the team with 20 to go" etc and I'll say it again, it's a coping mechanism that I also use when it's looking likely that the game is lost. If the boys turn it around them amazing, if not then I've prepared myself and the dog doesn't get kicked. Everyone else can see them for what they are except you so for the last time I am telling you to IGNORE them. Enough really is enough.

This stops now please. You can see the poster's name so stop acting like a child and either write their name correctly or even better, just ignore them. This is also getting really friggin' boring.

Who's this Karen ? Gone all chicken jalfrezi

Cripes Powell really is a sore loser and has gone down in my estimations rlhis comments hererl​

Pity he fails to mention his own players infringements during the game but of course they lost so had to be the ref's fault.

Odd how he's overlooked their offsides at the two bombs they put up and scored from. From what i've seen at least one of their players appears offside on both kicks who then takes part in the play.

Exactly my point his players where offside when the kicks went up and try's were given, but he fails to mention that Shenton on both occasions was infront of Ellis (when he kicked) and played at the ball without being played back onside by Ellis . His whining would have had some merit had he mentioned those little infringements, just makes himself look a bigger than McDermott and that is an impressive achievement.

Need to look again at their tries but watched the Shaul try on SL show. One of those tries that the VR would have disallowed I'm afraid.

Still if theirs were offside we would still have won, so I guess DP would have been happy to be nilled if we had one try chalked off by the VR

Having watched the replay their first try is absolutely fine. The second one is impossible to tell because the chasers arent in the picture when the kick goes up. Shauls try I have seen get disallowed by VR before, but also seen them given. The tackle was still there to made if the Cas player wasnt more interested in appealing for a penalty.

As great a coach as he no doubt is, Powell has always been one of the biggest whingers in the game.

For me although I agree the Shaul try would more than likely have been ruled out players who are defending are now taking an easy option after making a poor defensive read. If you actually just watch Ellis he actually makes a decision to tackle Mini thinking he would receive the ball stopping Mini from running through the line before the ball is passed by Sneyd. Its now becoming prevalent in the game that defending players are actually deliberating making contact with a runner to gain a penalty. Its back to the problem when players where deliberating throwing the ball at a defending player at the ptb to gain a penalty. Ellis also deliberately ran into a defending player knowing he wouldn't get to the ball first when he put the chip over the top then promptly threw himself on the floor to gain a penalty.

Its a part of the game that really needs looking at and clarifying to stop the gamesmanship.

Was sat directly in line for the their first try and Shenton was about 2ft in front of Ellis when he put the kick up in the air.

Karen you are right, i will ignore.

Been saying about the bad read for ages. Some are clear obstruction but the bad read/throwing your arms up are becoming a problem, that the refereeing needs to address.

Not holding my breath with Ganson in charge

Thank you

Just don't know what you mean
