Re: Jamie Leahy is the shitest ref ever : Sun Aug 07, 2011 7:08 pm  

Im not sure its the penalties they give that wind people up its the ones they miss. It was just a really poor effort by him today. The Smith sin binning after he had lost control and respect of the players, White picks the ball up from acting half, markers arnt square and the tackler was 5 yards in front of him, blatent penalty to square the game but no. Penky gets pushed over and he even put his whistle to his mouth for this one but then decides against it. Bowman gets the ball stripped on the line and he gives a knock on, where?

I thought we were superb in the second half and deserved to win the game. A bit shoddy in the first half, i know someone blames Greenwood for not giving the ball to Smith but we are talking an experienced player here and he gave Greenwood no option, Winger and FB did a good job but if Smith comes back on the angle its impossible to defend against. Oor basics were pretty poor in the first half like Greenwood getting trapped in goal. He has to run out low there but instead ran out with his head high making it all too easy for the defenders to hold him up and push him back. Second half we just took a few wrong decisions but its hard with a ref who dosnt blow for offside and is random with his marker penalties especially when thats a strong part of our game.

Ref was poor but if Miles had have passed when through with Smith alongside him and Penky hadnt have gone for the kick on the short side,if White hadnt knocked on with line at his mercy and if we had tackled better in the first half,we wouldnt even be discussing the ref.And by the way the Batley supporters sat next to us were playing hell with the ref too!!

spot on, only fans with a poor understanding of the game blame the ref's.

We blew the 1st half through bad discipline (Barlow!) and just weren't clinical enough in the 2nd.

Was glad to be at mount pleaseant watching a competitive game for once (normally beaten after 60mins). The lads are really upping their desire and work rates now for the business end of the season.

Roll on Widnes.

discipline cost us not the ref I am sure Bally would agree as well.

He was terrible, but those fans of ours who went up at the end threatening him and hitting the barriers should be ashamed!

We were awful anyway.

I honestly don’t see the point of writing something controversial that is wholly inaccurate.

I was in the hospitality today, so had wait at the tunnel for 5 or so minutes, in between the game finishing and being allowed to go back into the clubhouse. Granted there were some fans giving Mr Leahy a bit of an earful, however, as a referee who didn’t perform at his best, I’m afraid that is something you have to take on the chin. As for what you’ve written about him being threatened, is utter rubbish!

As I say there were a dozen or so Halifax fans who headed over to the tunnel at the end and were certainly vociferous in regard to the performance of JL, but, (particularly having just been beaten narrowly) supporters will always be passionate and in many cases they will be critical of officials and opposition etc.

I think your post was a classic case of writing something solely to get a reaction. But why you need to accuse innocent Halifax fans of nothing is beyond me?

totally agree.

total "storm in a teacup", seen more un-rest a toddlers party.

And as for fans trying to get onto the pitch, complete and utter rubbish, shouting at ref from behind barriers that was all, big wow!

Re: Jamie Leahy is the shitest ref ever : Sun Aug 07, 2011 9:49 pm  

Threatening was the wrong word, I take that back. But the people involved were bloody idiots! Just the fact that the security had to come running over was bad enough. Especially after the whole reaction over the Fev incidents!

Totally agree. I never mentioned he was biased, hes just had a very bad day at the office today. Ball was questioning some of the interpretations afterwards by the sounds of it.

I thought the ref had a shocker, but i would like someone to explain why nash was penalised in the 2nd half on the half way line for making a decent effort at a tackle that wasnt complete then got penalised for making a second effort..Leahy is a joke.

I reckon they will of been Fev fans in disguise because we all know Fax fans are angels
