We didn't deserve anything playing 40 mins like we did that first half. Decisions bad by ref or not we simply were awful and never looked interested for the whole 1st half! We now have a job to do midweek in a long trip to Cumbria!! Why don't we learn from past mistakes??

Wot he said

Re: Batley referee : Mon Feb 28, 2011 12:04 am  

Dewsbury / Batley the same place ? Just like Halifax / Bradford, or Halifax / Huddersfield really...one road leads to another.

I am not a Jamie Leahy fan, who is, as a matter of fact an ardent Rams fan, but hey you were the best team in the second half, so take some consolation.

As KH stated on Radio Leeds prior to MC making a total clown of himself (once again)....Halifax were training in Spain this week...Batley were training in the fog all week !! And he also reminded the listening public the fact that Halifax had 3 Championship 1 clubs to play in the NRC, and Batley had 3 Championship clubs to play.... Have you qualified for the last 8 yet ? I am sure you will this week.

How many times have Batley to beat you lot before you will all accept that we are a decent side (On a good playng surface) and it is not a disgrace to lose to Batley - as Vikingman knows.

Unfortunately you lost today....But I fortunately won with William Hills who were offering a very generous 8/1 for a Bulldogs win, and we had 16 start on the handicap. THANK YOU WILLIAM HILL- You know nothing about this competition

1987 is history, we are now in 2011..... Move on and get behind your team

We will see many worse displays this season for sure

I find it strange a Batley fan was chosen to ref this match

So now he is just not from Batley, he is actually a Batley FAN !!
I bet he has a season ticket at the mount and attends all games possible
around his refereeing commitments, and also has a BULLDOG tatoo'd on his
arm, and possibly one of those old home made indian ink tattoos down his
arm saying 'Batley till i die' !!! His car reg number is BUll DOG and his missus
works in the Pie van at the mount, and cleans at the club in the mornings.
He has 2 pets, Bulldogs of course named Tiger & Lyndsay and He did actually
arrive on the Batley team bus.
And there was also a rumour that he was on the pitch calling for Moore to come
of the bench to take the last minute shot at goal !!!

Pleeeeeeesssseeee....get over it !

Well if that's the case what the hell was he doing refing our game?

Re: Batley referee : Mon Feb 28, 2011 3:31 pm  

It's all very well slagging off the referee, but how many of you would put your hand up and do the job? There are many posters who do nothing but ref-bashing even when their side wins, as well. It has been said by some posters that decisions will even themselves out through the season; maybe they do, maybe not. We have to live with what we are given and moaning about it like we do, (I also include myself in that), won't make it right again. Both sets of fans have their views and both are equally right as they will see the game with blinkers for the most part, or you couldn't call them fans, could you? Batley won the first half, Fax won the second, and Batley won the game. Let's concentrate on beating 'Haven on Wednesday and put this game behind us.

Was bad that ref though

Re: Batley referee : Mon Feb 28, 2011 4:12 pm  

He clearly needs a performance review. I'm sure both Halifax and Batley will agree on that.

Re: Batley referee : Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:40 pm  

TS my problem is not the match officials its the pillock Stuart Cummins. I ref every now and then and its tough but I enjoy it. I know for a fact due to my various contacts,Cummins fast tracks youngsters who have little experience into doing Pro games. Many match officials are unhappy. There is a real problem with match officials not just Leahy. But Cummins has had years to sort the various problems-but nothing changes. The problems will never change with match officials as long as Cummins is in charge. He was arrogant as a ref and is arrogant now.

Re: Batley referee : Mon Feb 28, 2011 7:02 pm  

I don't have a problem with you on the SC front, Si; that's your beef. My problem is the standard and consistency that is apparent when his underlings take the field.

Re: Batley referee : Mon Feb 28, 2011 8:32 pm  

But SC is responsible for the match officials and each year we see the same inconsistency and different standards. Each game you see different rule interpretations. The sooner SC does something positive with the Match Officials the sooner the our game and enjoyment will improve.
