In the South Stand bar after the game I've never known Phil Vievers be so critical of a referee in all the time he has been at Wigan.

"Amos Roberts swears to me that he scored from the kick"


Confirmed by a Giants fan on page 1.

The score did not reflect the game bit fair play to Huddersfield they defended really well.

Make that 2 Giants fans. Couldn't see anything wrong with it.

FWIW i thought that the try should have been given. However you cannot blame the ref bentham looked like he wanted to give it it was the in goal judge who did not give it.

Sometimes the problem is not so much the ref but the TJs they only come on now for foul play they rarely signal anything else. It is too hard now with the pace and the professionalism for one ref to do everything. The TJs need to be more proactive.i

I would like to ask the bald prick in charge a few questions:

- Why wasn't the clear Roberts try awarded?

- Why was a goal line drop-out awarded, after Richards had grounded the ball in the field of play only to be rolled back behind the line (from which Hudds then scored their 1st try)?

- Why wasn't Luke Robinson sin-binned for the most obvious professional foul in history?

- Why did he consistantly take us back 12 yards instead of 10?

- I haven't seen the replay of Hudds 2nd try - which won them the game - but it looked like an obvious knock on before they "scored".

- Far too many blatant forward passes and knock-ons to mention (from both sides I may add).


A message to Stuart Cummings - How long do we have to put up with this crap refereeing? And this isn't sour grapes, it happens to all teams at some stage during the season

It'll never happen in a million years but how much trouble can it be to have a camera in the main stand one behind each post, and then the ref to be linked up to some kind of video referee.

Would do very well to have out shone the French ref tonight at Belle Vue. Truely shocking perforamce. No controll what so ever.

Clueless ref who really as no idea whats going on in front of him, fans say could you do any better but i think it would be hard to do any worse.

the roberts 'knock on' as well where the giants player popped the ball out whilst lying on the floor.
The web footed six fingered gozzy eyed leyther touch judge should also get a special mention - maybe the hatred has rubbed off from his pathetic excuse of a rugby playing brother!
