I might see him in "boyes"next to me shopping for new shoes on saturday instead of oxford street

edited for accuracy

Yes but i think that will be pale in comparison to the loud reception he will receive next time , if there is one.
The officials at Red hall are imo, about as much use as a one legged man at a bottom kicking contest.
This descision basicaly gives sub standard referees the go ahead to be inconsistent and poor when officiating games, without any comeback.
Many coaches have tried to go through the normal channels when making a complaint against a poor referee, but without success, nothing ever gets done. I'm afraid that, untill the people at Red hall have the gumption to address the current problem with referees, we will continue to get sub standard performances by some some of them, which is a shame because it gives the good referees ( there are some) a bad name and will be detrimental to the game as a whole in the future.
People who pay their hard earned cash to watch games, simply do not want them ruined by certain referees who are are inconsistent with their descisions and who are simply, not up to the standard required of top class rugby league.

It seems a little odd that a player (for example's sake, Jamie Peacock) can get a nasty letter for throwing punches at someone's face with malice yet Justin share's a few home truths about a referee and gets a large fine.

Actually no, it's not odd at all. It's just the RFL being consistent with their inconsistency.

very well said

The RFL are a disgrace.

The difference being, any player taking a slap has the ability to defend himself or retaliate. Morgan made his comments in the full knowledge that the referee had absolutely no right of reply.

I don't know, I think £4000 is one hell of a reply.

This possibly made the difference:

"The Giants have contacted RFL match officials director Stuart Cummings to see whether Thaler will face censure for his actions which led to Stuart Reardon's try."

It was a decision that was questioned. The Giants never made a personal attack on the character of the referee

What was the result of the outburst?







/

The decision was not 'questioned'. It was described as ridiculous. It was therefore clearly a criticism of the person making the decision.

£2,000 well spent if we don't get that clown again

Sadly we will. Perhaps JM should set up a direct debit with Red Hall.

I think the RFL got this one pretty much spot on. Matter closed for me.

Beside Hudgy will pay his fine anyway

"It was a ridiculous decision to refer it to the video referee," said Giants football manager Stuart Sheard.
So whats this then?

Look, I'll try to type this slowly, then you might just understand:

Describing A (as in one in total) decision as "ridiculous" does not, in any shape or form, constitute calling the referee incompetent or accusing him of bias against your club.

Now read that S L O W L Y and it might just sink in

I see, if you only critisize the ref once thats OK

this has got to be the most pathetic attempt at justifying a comment ever on the board,

Far eclipsed I'm afraid by your pathetic attempts to justify the pathetically, cowardly way that your coach chose to attempt a character assassination on an official, knowing full well that the official had absolutely no means to defend or rebut Morgan's comments.

Put your handbag away and read your stupid post again, what Morgan did was not the right way to do it, but you pathetically attempted to justify Hudds doing the same thing now trot on

I'm sorry but I refuse to engage in intellectual combat with an unarmed man. You have proved the old adage that "there's no point in arguing with an idiot, all they'll do is bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience"

Did Thaler not do his talking on the pitch?

What else did Morgan expect? Ranting on the way he did and some of the things he said was always going to result in a huge fine.

Great coach though isnt he

So if Morgan would've gone down to Thaler's dressing room and planted one of him, that would've received a lesser punishment? What a stupid post.

While I understand what Morgan said, I don't approve of it. He made a mistake (it was bound to happen eventually) and he's been punished. He's not appealing the decision, so we should just move on IMO.
