The facts are that my club has been robbed so many times

If I wasn't laughing, I'd be shooting myself with the belief that some Bulls fans ACTUALLY think referees go out to put one over on us. Unbelivable!

Referees make mistakes, so do players. When Deacon put the umpteenth kick straight down the Crusaders FB's throat on Sunday, did you think it was because he was trying to rob us?

Which ref would you be happy with?

on this years form I'd take ganson, whilst he has his need to be Centre of attention at least he's consistent and applies his interpretation of the rules to both teams equally.

on a side note - what a surprise Childs hasnt been awarded a superleague game this week instead getting sheffield-toulouse. wonder what the odds are on toulouse outright, as RFL must be wanting the to start climbing table now

People. Stop falling for this. Gledhill is clearly a character and not real. Not even the most biased fan would believe the referees were against us THIS much. I mean honestly, the 3 CC Finals he mentions? How could you possibly say they were refereeing calls?

There may be an argument for the SL Finals and Cardiff, as has been documented plenty in the past, but the others are too laughable to be real.

I've been wracking my brains wondering what he was on about over the CC Finals. Worried that dementia was setting in.

Although I have no reason to doubt you personally, I just can't buy it, sorry.

There's just too much that makes me think otherwise.


And if he IS real and believes the referee was to blame for the 96 Cup Final, I've gotta say I wasn't aware Nathan Graham had taken up refereeing.

Cunningham was miles offside in 96. Sullivan never got near the ball when he 'scored' in 97.

according to mick ANY game we lose is purely down to the ref. any decisions dodgy decisions given our way are correct and any decisions given against us , whether dodgy or not, are automatically a result of the refs bias against us and an RFL conspiracy. have a look on facebook for mick gledhill - he looks like a cross beteen roland browning of grange hill and benny hill. or read post by 'tommy the cy5t' on totalrl (he cant post under mick anymore as hes been banned too many times for abusing the refs, including an incident where one threatened to sue him )

Any chance some friendly moderator on here could do the same?
