Lets all calm down.
Firstly my take on the referee, I have never criticised a ref on this forum, someone has said he made some bizarre decisions. Well that may be so but not as bizarre as kicking out on the full, failing to pass to a winger on at least two occasions and off loading a ball late on when no need to.
My only suggestion to the ref would be don't become a barber, if you can't tell a shoulder from a head then you are not cutting my hair. (if I had any)
O'h and Batley when things get too tough don't do what is now refereed to as a Sam Barlow, lying down until the opposition have lost their momentum.
My take on the game?
Great first half, some family of clowns early on in this topic have said that they may not come again if Karl is still the coach, or something like that, well as I have said above it wasn't the refs fault and it wasn't Karl's fault.
I bet he was blazing in the changing room after.
Enjoyed the whole game and the whole afternoon, great chat with Bentleyman and Prince Abdullah who may I say is very light skinned for and Arab Billionaire.
He is still thinking about buying the club.
Back to refs and indeed match officials, stand back, give them a break, I was watching Halifaxwilliam on Saturday morning playing for KKP under 10's the ref, in full specsaver regalia was 15 years old obviously wanting to progress in the game. If some of the parents could imagine that he was their son then they would perhaps have behaved a lot better.
Do we really want to put these officials through that?
When I complained to someone next to me the reply was "that's what goes with the territory"
Back to yesterday
For me Rugby League at it's best, yes I went away thinking as bad as had we lost, but hey, it's a game.
Move on.
ps. not on twitter or whatever so can some one pass a message to my mate Luke Ambler. if you are going to score a great try please do it when I am not still in the chip queue. Heard the noise, missed the try and ran out of the queue and missed my chips.
In Fax and Karl I trust.
