Back chat ..get marched back 10...simple

Carry on back chatting or bemoaning 10 minutes ..simple

Kyle eastmond raging at the ref last night WTF is that all about and who does he think he is !! should have been given 10 minutes ...Simple as that

Refs do cock up on decisions sometimes and thats life, just as top players make wrong decisions and take wrong options ...but hey its about respect and if we didnt have the men in the middle, then we wouldnt have a game to watch...

I remember him getting pinged for carrying on running and not playing the ball where he then threw the ball away in disgust. Was that the incident? I didn't realise he got marched another ten for it as well.

Does anyone remember the short lived RFL experiment in zero tolerance in a lower league game a few years ago (Barrow sticks in my head for some reason).

They gave the ref (Kirkpatrick?) licence to basically penalise every infringement no matter how minor, resulting in 20-odd penalties in the first half. Second half there were around half a dozen.

Players and coaches are quick learners. If they know exactly what to expect and it is consistent from week to week, official to official then they will adapt their games as required.

The problem comes when that consistency isn't there, and what was being let go last week suddenly becomes "penalty du jour" the next.

For some reason, I thought it was Huddersfield when they were down in the National Leagues. Maybe even under TS.

Whatever, I remember the results being pretty much as you described.

I think you're right on that. Certainly on the result of the experiment

Spot on AG the consistency isn't there which leads to the confusion and out cry every other week.
