Many of our players had a worse game than the referee.

Was stood with a load of Batley fans and they weren't too pleased with his decisions in the second half either.

Re: Batley referee : Sun Feb 27, 2011 5:27 pm  

pains me to write it but Batley took their chances and deserved the win.

Fax showed character in 2nd half but the shockingly bad 1st 40 performance was just too bad.

what was the logic in not going for goal on the stroke of half time with buzzer having sounded? says it all really!

I am afraid, I agree with both of you. A combination of a biased referee and un-smart play gives a game that's tough to win. We obviously lost that game when we were still in Spain for the first 40 mins, and the extremely dubious penalty on 79 mind. Even karl, on radio Leeds, wasn't really sure about it.

Even with a poor ref we should have still been able to pull out a win. But I agree, don't want to see him back any time soon. Some of the calls he was making were shocking.

What was the last penalty for?

It seemed to me that lovely was harshly targeted, he got a kicking on the ground by their no 5 and a few cheep digs from Moore. (No change there then).

I thought that was a strange option as by kicking to touch you only had one tackle. We should have gone for goal

BIASED REFEREE????

What a bunch of whingers. You don't like losing that's your trouble. The ref gave Batley nothing in the second half. His bad decisions started the roll that nearly gave you the game. Bad ref, yes....Biased no. Get over yourself and accept you were beaten by a team who wanted it more.
The bloke at the end who was nearly blowing a fuse shouting at the ref when he came off the field summed it up for me.
