Wasn't that when Ganson made a visit to the refs changing room at halftime, which wasn't supposed to be allowed, but nothing was done

Indeed but, it was only to "have a word"

The wrong kind of word though.

That was certainly the most vindictive performance I've ever seen.

And yet Ok went on to be a great ref, shame the same can't be said for the others.

Re: Huddersfield on Friday : Sun May 28, 2017 1:09 pm  

Was it Ganson who, away to London, had it in for Andy Raleigh? Think London won 38-0 or something like that.

The game is lodged on my mind but am I right in thinking he was worried by two pensioners 'chasing ' him off the pitch? That was him yes?
Back to Friday and I have never seen more obvious decisions given the wrong way, for the referee to be corrected by touch judge a minute after the decision was made is unbelievable. It can only be said he was looking to let things go when Huddersfield did it and Wakefield did the same the whistle blew.
At least twice Huddersfield knocked on and he said play on...we can't have him again in this fixture...

I believe with the guys background the alarm bells should have been ringing loudly after the way he reffed at Huddersfield on the first fixture. If that had happened to the Shaun Wanes of this game there would have been massive out cry.

We as a club are probably a bit more forgiving and put it down to him having a bad day. However after the debacle on Friday I would be upset if our club did not make strong representations not to have him again in any Huddersfield fixture.

On the other side of the coin if it was sheer coincidence that he had two dreadful games. Then it also does him a favour, he's a young ref and it is unfair to ask him to ref his own club and many of the players he knows as friends.
