If thats what you want from your star scrum half, Then so be it.

Sean Long cost you the game tonight, Not the referee. Before you all moan, Although the spectacle was ruined by childs both ways

The first instant. Long and Aspinwall, I arent 100% sure how it started, But to go toe to toe, Swinging as he was, He was always going to get removed from the field. That, Your key half back, We lose a second rower. You were in the ascendancy, And this limited your creativeness

Not only that, Late in the game, He ok. Appears to be taken high close to the line, Judgement call, The referee makes it. Deal with it.

Gives a penalty away for back chatting, Moving us off our line, And then in the first tackle. Goes flying in forearm/ Elbow first, And fortunately doesnt connect. If he had, He would have been seeing the next 6 games minimum from the stands. As it is, He will and should get 3

On this issue though, Brett Ferres was VERY lucky not to walk in the first half

He gave his all tonight IMO. I don't mind players making mistakes if they're giving their all.

I cannot really comment Tommy as i was not there, sounded like he was trying tonight on the radio though.

The ref didn't have any control. But an experienced guy like Long should know better. If I was a Hull fan, I wouldn't be happy. I know an old timer at Cas (danny orr) wouldn't carry on like him.

Fair enough. But I honestly think Longy wore his heart on his black and white sleeve tonight.

Jumped in with a shoulder from what I saw, nothing wrong with it. If it was the elbow then he deserved to go.

Thats pretty much how I saw it. Would have to see it again to be sure though.

Sorry but that is rubbish. Long was taken out once the ball had gone, the fact it then kicked off is one of those things. At 18-20 Long is in on the try line and taken high and gets nothing. Not sure he did anything wrong with the sending off, he looked to jump in with the shoulder.

He never cost us the game, he had a good game.

Consistent then

Childs failed to control the game from the first few minutes.

He came flying out of the line and led with the elbow. He had lost his head a few minutes before.

Got his head smashed off, by all accounts, that't why. Video will show anyway.

Correct. The Radders "incident" set the tone for the utter confusion and ensuing bad feeling and frequent eruptions of temper. Seriously, if the club did a special edition DVD I'd buy it, just to convince myself that I'm not insane and didn't dream the whole thing.

Literally.
