Standard of refereeing not professional. : Sun Sep 01, 2019 6:11 pm  

Bring on the defenders of referees, today's standard was & is not professional what ever your views ??
Chester may get fined now for his comments & protestations down the tunnel after the game, he was disgusting in his ineptness, but he will be defended by Ganson who says, even if the referee makes the wrong decision he is right
& Should not be questioned, ? Wow, what power !

Couldn't agree more Trin.

What were you doing in the Tunnel?

The refereeing was exceptionally poor today

A mate of mine is a ref, in championship and so on but can he hell get a gig in SL. I’ve spoken to him about it and he tells me that it’s a click and if you’re face fits and all that. Shame as he’s a very good ref.

I agree that reffing wasn't great but let's be clear, that didn't cost us the game.

Never said it did, but don't defend that exhibition with a statement like that, I respect you pop tart but that keeps happening to us & never for us as some other people suggest.

Standard of play today not professional

Re: Standard of refereeing not professional. : Sun Sep 01, 2019 7:30 pm  

Manuel, that could be said but Chester thought he couldn't question his players ! I personally still think we looked gased at times, 2nd half, we see this more when we play a top 5 side, next season this issue must be addressed or we will remain a. 50 - 60 min team - no ifs, no buts, passion gets you so far but fitness to the same level as the top teams will match them, currently we fall short, condition & fitness has been seen, today my wife noticed how much our players were blowing & slow in speed & thought, in other words fatigued ! Failure to change then next season will be as this one whoever we sign !

It doesn't just happen to us so we can't come across as the victim all the time.

However, I think I change my mind now I've seen the highlights. I was at the wrong end for some of those.

To be honest the offsides hurt us as much as anything.
We were not innocent though.

Saying all that, what irritates me most is there are so many ref comments, and no one recognises how well we played. Defensively we are a quantum leap above where we were.

Think having 2 players injured in first half and not able to return would have contributed to players looking gassed. The effort and defending was much better than it was a few weeks ago
