They didn't, this was given as a high shot and Patterson promptly knocked over the two.

I think he was particularly poor today (not that I ever thought he was any good).

Barrow were allowed to play the ball a lot quicker than us, because every time we held their players down, to the length of time they held us down, we got penalised.

He missed high tackle after high tackle (we counted seven un-missed high tackles in the first 10 minutes) and he missed Said being kneed in the face.

Not a very good day at the office for him

Officials probably 'missed' a lot yesterday for both sides but the game flowed and it was a better match as a result.

I agree, i thought he let the game flow and it wasn't his decisions that cost anyone the game. The ref is never going to get every decision right when you're a fan, they can never win.

When i was at Featherstone earlier this year i thought the ref had got pretty much every decision wrong, but when i watched it back on the tv he got most of them right. So not everything is black and white just because you think you saw something one way while watching it live.

All i ask is that the ref gives what he sees and not what he thinks happens. If he does that, then that's all you can ask.

he was not that good - i couldn't understand how players were allowed to walk back to tackles and then throw what looked like cheap shots?
