My mate around the club has said that as far as he’s aware griffin said he felt that that saint fans were influencing Kendall too much and when he got yellow he said something around “loving joke”
If the charge is questioning Kendal’s integrity and he was called a cheat or bent I’d tend to agree. However if Griffin has said along the of ‘lovin joke’ about the decision then my word the MRP are going to doing overtime from now on. Nearly every player when a decision goes against them utters the same sort of response.
Kendal is there to officiate by carrying out the rules and keep things from getting out of hand. In the first 40 mins his performance was certainly questionable as the Fash decision alone shows with the MRP proving both Kendal and the official to have got it wrong.
Kendals has an arrogance about him and for someone who apparently played the game has little respect himself for players and seems power goes to his head.
Yes Griffin should have known better and kept quiet but Kendal should have also have the ability to speak with a player to defuse rather escalate situations. I think Kendal arrogance got the better of him with the speed of the red less than 4 seconds after the yellow when the player in question is walking away.
For me Kendal shows he has t the personality or ability to handle this sort of situation or occasion.
