I'd like to know how many people who cast a judgement upon me for daring to have an opinion actually attended the game?

Don't see that matters. You tend to get a better opportunity to review things watching it back on sky in any event. There's been many times I have come away from the game believing we have been hard done to on some key calls only to watch it back on sky and realise that wasn't the case.

If you think they were bad tell us why with some examples, especially as if I recall correctly Bentham only had one decision to make as VR and it was a clear try despite Child's on field decision being "no try"

I went. I don't question your right to an opinion, I just don't agree with it. ie. that's my opinion.

I couldn't get to the game, which must be a first, but got to watch it on TV. Child's wasn't to blame for the defeat, as much as I would like to, but what I will question is the difference between teams of who's interfering in the tackle and whose moving off the mark into the markers, something that is getting far too common in all games especially on Thursday night.

We've won roughly 2 out of 33 games that he's officiated. I'd actually love to know if that stat is true or not but I don't have time to work it out.

85% of stats are made up, the remaining 37% are inaccurate

But that could be down to how we played in those games not how they were reffed. If we got beat 40+ to 12 as has been quite often the case in recent seasons prior to this one, you can't put such defeats down to the officials.

The officials will make mistakes but very rarely will they be the defining factor in the outcome of a game wakey play in
