Interesting .......I know weve had at least one quick tap stopped this season ...I'll be keeping my eye on that one....

I didn't think that they were anymore. Keep hearing about this 'controlled restart'.

This frustrates me enormously - these guys run up and down all afternoon and don't do a damned thing, just what is the pioint of them? May as well take their flags off them for all they do with them.

(Looking at one of the linesmen on Sunday, it looked like he was on work experience from school!! or is that just me getting older? )

I watched from the North Stand as I took my little girl for the first time and I was sitting on the front Row.

I did here the touch judge talk to Silverwood but not much!!

They missed at least 4 Hull KR forward passes because the touch judge couldn't get in line with KR as he was more interested in watching us for offside...which I thought that Silverwood would surely do!!!!

Silverwood IMO is a SKY man.. he only bothers to be half decent when the camera's are on. Like a previous post he didn't even signal half the time as it looked like he couldn't be bothered!!!!!

That's what annoyed me when "Albert Riera" refereed us against Catalans! He hardly signalled to show what the penalties were for.
