Oh, about five minutes.

Is that sadder than thinking the phrase "as much use as a chocolate fire guard" is offensive?

Ah, right, going on the offensive now are we? Who are you to judge what I should or shouldn't find offensive when put in certain contexts? Why don't you PM me and we can have a little chat that way, save taking up board space.

I'm choosey who I PM with, thanks all the same.

Anway, Ganson.

Can't say I'll miss him but I'm not sure he's any worse than the others Super League refs.

You've made the right choice.

Keep the bickering on the board as it's hilarious

Never been a ref,just an ego.

We need to encourage retired players to take up the refs whistle,would keep them involved in the game ,and they would also have an insight .

Think he's only just finshed measuring how far forward that pass was to Dobson and decided to fall on his sword!

For me the best referees are the ones that aren't noticeable and just let the game flow. Cardiff 2005 is a great example of this with Ganson. Unfortunately it's one of the few occasions I can think of when he was like this.

I don't mind refs that pull a team up for their errors and infringements either but they need to be consistent in their decision making. Ganson was one of the worst for inconsistency IMO.
