Looks that way. I also can't see the incident called there that was on SLTV showing Whiting getting punched at the PTB by their number 13.

You got to be joking.

I guess some people just think that worrying about the ref when you've got Agar in charge is like moaning about getting a pimple when you've got leprosy.

I believe the title of the thread is Childs not Agar.

Garry turns every thread into an Agar one

The clue is in the post I quoted lads, do keep up.

Will someone smack brindley in the gob for me PLEASE.

I'm not saying that childs wasn't shiit, because he was. He may even have been the reason we didn't win the game. What I'm saying is that kath's outburst is a result of the pressure she is obviously feeling rather than the fact that the referee was useless. There will have been dozens of instances in her 10 + years at the club where the referee's performance has been cr4p but she hasn't exploded at it

She wouldn't have said anything if we'd sneaked a try at the end and won. Wouldn't have changed the refs performance one iota but she wouldn't have reacted

So this is a positive thing, then, wouldn't you agree? Some indirect recognition that things aren't right?

Not as foolish as you look







Context dear boy, context

That's what I've been saying. Her's and agar's outbursts are down to the pressure they are both under. People who are saying they're representing the fans etc. are just plain wrong

Well we don't know that, you are just guessing. Either way I am glad she spoke up as it demonstrates she cares and if it was all down to pressure then that means the Agar out question is being thought about.

You don't think her reasons are any more calculating than that then? Agar I can accept was just anger, but with our clubs reputation for spin I can see her realising it was a good opportunity to take some heat off him and buy more time. On her radio interview she seemed pretty composed for someone who was having an 'outburst'.

You seriously think that as soon as the whistle went she thought 'right now is my chance to take some heat off the Rich'.....

More likely she was as furious as the rest of the crowd and combined with the general pressure around the club just got wound up and spoke out.

To be fair, she'd spoken to David Burns off mic, he asked if she was prepared to repeat the comments on air and she did.

It's like what Kosh was saying the other day about when you have big problems at home an external enemy can be extremely handy.

If you want to take everything she does at face value, then with our clubs track record on spin and media manipulation, more fool you.

Well it's much more believable than your conspiracy theory but it's a pointless argument as we will never know.

Initially I did, but on reflection I just think she was so desperate for us to win she blew up when we didn't. A win on Friday would have bought them a few weeks in the agar in stakes so you can understand her kicking off when we lost narrowly and the ref was dire

Conspiracy theory? Hardly.

Kath's remarks on Friday night were either:

a) a foolish outburst from a woman who, despite what else she might be, is no fool

or

b) a continuation of the spin tactics that have become a hallmark of the current regime

As you say we'll never know.

So a grapple tackle is now a straight yellow card? How come Jones didn’t get sinbinned then? www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?2471 I think this inconstancy is the most annoying things about match officials these days.

always has been in most sports mate - probably always will be ...

Simply because no two incidents in any dynamic sport are the same, even if refereed by an automaton

of course, and decisions at any given time are based on ones personal instinct at that moment - one mans 'ball steal' is another mans 'knock on' for example

all people are different and will have different interpretations of any incident.
