It was. And i am sure he was the ref against Huddersfield in the Friendly. He was hopeless.

Judging by some of the posts we have seen and you will see in the forthcoming season, I think you're safe

Well when you consider that Brough deserved to be sent off for what he did, you can't exactly say it cost us our SL place. Every referee has to have a first SL game and being a match official is a constant learning curve - but how else are we to move forward if match officials from lower leagues with potential don't get a chance?

I agree with some of what you are saying and all ref's have to learn the trade, my point is that having Leahy take charge of this game, indirectly cost us our place in Superleague.
I'm not saying Brough didn't deserve to get sent off, as what he did was stupid and childish, I'm saying is that the ref had an abysmal game and made a catalogue of basic errors, the frustration was building in many of the Cas players on the day, in particular, Brough, who totally lost it and was sent off.

Whilst Brough has to ultimately take responsibility for this, the referee was so inept that I believe had a different ref controlled the game, this wouldn't have happened.

I believe Brough missing 3 games cost us our place in Superleague, wherever the blame lies.

Who....?"Bruce Game as Freddie Mercury" or "J Leahy "
Sad to say, can't make it up this weekend, but here's hoping for a decent game and the best team getting the points.....

What affected us that season was our own ineptness and complete inconsistency on too many occasions, irrespective of the standard of refereeing in any game. Combine that with the fact that our paper-thin squad was completely burnt out for the last 8 matches of the season (of which we won only one); and I think you have a far more convincing argument of why we were ultimately relegated.

Hi

Last time at Cas I had to get my concession (Student) ticket from a ticket office style building. Is this still the case?

Thanks.
