As a neutral I was disgusted. He robbed Huddersfield. I can't see the point in watching or playing a game where refs have such influence over the running and result of a match. The Ferres sending off (which I agreed with) came off the back of a series of penalties against Huddersfield - at least one of which was completely wrong. .

Take the emotion away and re read that. The sending off came off the back of a stream of penalties, by the way Huddersfield were lucky to keep all their players on during that spell. There was only one borderline call, the penalty under the posts for the equaliser. All the others were blatant.

There is doubt about it. On some angles it looks good, on other angles it looks to have missed. I'm not sure that a VR would have actually been able to properly rule on it.

It doesnt matter whether the VR can decide. The ref has a duty to check if there is doubt. He did that on every Huddersfield TRY.

There was real doubt on Benthams ability to make a decision on that DG not least the reactiosn of players on both sides, yet on the one decison that he could have gone to the VR he did not

Yeah sorry haha thanks for showing my incompetence

It went over. At worst it went over the post. Which is a drop goal.

Massive failure from Bentham, he had to go to the screen completely unacceptable not to check if he could.

Brough's drop goal went over (why would he celebrate otherwise),

The fact he turned away before the ball even went close to the posts means his opinion on whether the ball went over is actually pretty meaningless.

Plenty of football players are already celebrating goals only to see the ball slip wide.
