You seriously think that as soon as the whistle went she thought 'right now is my chance to take some heat off the Rich'.....

More likely she was as furious as the rest of the crowd and combined with the general pressure around the club just got wound up and spoke out.

To be fair, she'd spoken to David Burns off mic, he asked if she was prepared to repeat the comments on air and she did.

It's like what Kosh was saying the other day about when you have big problems at home an external enemy can be extremely handy.

If you want to take everything she does at face value, then with our clubs track record on spin and media manipulation, more fool you.

Well it's much more believable than your conspiracy theory but it's a pointless argument as we will never know.

Initially I did, but on reflection I just think she was so desperate for us to win she blew up when we didn't. A win on Friday would have bought them a few weeks in the agar in stakes so you can understand her kicking off when we lost narrowly and the ref was dire

Conspiracy theory? Hardly.

Kath's remarks on Friday night were either:

a) a foolish outburst from a woman who, despite what else she might be, is no fool

or

b) a continuation of the spin tactics that have become a hallmark of the current regime

As you say we'll never know.

So a grapple tackle is now a straight yellow card? How come Jones didn’t get sinbinned then? http://www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?2471 I think this inconstancy is the most annoying things about match officials these days.

of course, and decisions at any given time are based on ones personal instinct at that moment - one mans 'ball steal' is another mans 'knock on' for example

all people are different and will have different interpretations of any incident.
