Commentary was saying its a shoulder charge if his arms are down..but they wasnt..hard done to imo. it was sloppy play on the last tackle...& we was lucky it was pulled back. again my opinion.

and that was my opinion as well, no way was it a shoulder charge as his arms was up to protect himself from the impact of the oncoming player and then used said arms to push player over in one movement, it was a terrible decision by silverfool, almost as bad as the dissalowed try for hall flicking the ball back and then whiting knocking it on for rovers to ground it..would have been a try by any other team...

re childs..very questionable decisions.. cockayne goes down in a tackle and fc player falls off prior to tackle complete..ref shouts held... two minutes later exactly the same happens to an fc player and he calls play on....very very poor.

as mentioned above...welham tackle in the air, yet another bad desicion and he shoulf have gone to the screen as he was asked by the team captain to do to check it out.. the few seconds for the right decision would not of hurt the overall game, after all isn`t that one of the reasons for a video ref?.

so so many bad calls in the game last night both on the pitch and in the vid ref booth....

Think we had some soft penalties given against us also. Rovers definitely milked a few. As Child's was obviously falling for it, I'm disappointed we didn't try it ourselves and just allowed us to be dominated in the tackle.
The worst was when Cockayne threw an elbow back straight into Shaul's face and they got a penalty for holding down.
Anybody else think Cockayne went very high on Yeaman (and late) after he put Talanoa in?

It's his usual cowardly MO.

Not to mention 2 soft penalties in the last 3 minutes that effectively gave rovers the game. Jamie shaul's no try should have been given benefit of the doubt. I think all 3 refs were desperate for rovers to win

Are you alanis morissetes biggest fan?

What on earth? How anybody can be stupid enough to suggest that wasn't a shoulder charge is beyond me.

It was as clear as day. It wasn't malicious but they are illegal now, and Hull was awarded the penalty. End of story. Personally I'm not sure that they should be illegal at all, but you have to play within the rules of the game.

When people on here start taking their lead from the Sky Commentators, we know that we are in trouble.

Frightening isn't it?

ffs his name is james CHILD not childs !!!

How come the refs spent the first 6 or 7 weeks penalising everything that was offside and any interference at the PTB and have suddenly stopped? chlid's policing of the 10 metres on Thursday was pathetic and he was very inconsistent with his penalties at the ptb

Any reason given why he didn't have the ref cam on?

Swapped it for a huge bag of used fivers from a bloke in a red and white shirt before the game?
