Yeh but it is London. Lockers and Tomkins could probably take them on with a few under 19's.

Just ask Rogues..........

ironic thing is, he gave luke robinson a straight red card for an almost similar thing in Perpignan, but on seeing the replays when I got home was nowhere near as bad.
wigan were like leeds tonight!

All the u19s are banned because they are as dirty as the first team. I'm glad we fronted up against ape mans naughty person tactics

Yet another shocking ref basically randomising the result (let's not discuss the terrible forward pass decisions that were/weren't given)... Luckily the good guys came out on top this time though.

Not seen the replay yet, but Child is a bottler so wouldn't be surprised if it was a red card.

Child bottled it. It was a nasty 'tackle' to someone who'd relaxed and had passed the ball.

Christ knows how Child got that game. Utter tripe throughout for both teams.

I don't think I've seen as many forward passes given in one game.

It's as red as it gets. "A proper outhouse tackle". Interesting to see what Red Hall do about it.

What I want to know is how Taylor can continue to play in that game whilst O'Brien is off the pitch recovering from concussion. I really don't care what happens to that coward now, what I care about is that we should have been the beneficiary of him being punished in the game when he commits the offence.

It was obvious to everyone in the ground that it was a shocking tackle, even Wane brought him off. I'm bemused that refs can hide behind just putting a player on report. It should come with an automatic sin-binning IMO.

Refs don't have to make any decisions if the game is on tele. Just play on and I can save my own booty by going to the screen.

Rubbish.

Never a red in a million years.

Bit late but the head came into contact with a Stains player then hit the ground.

I've seen worse avoid a penalty.
