Really funny, why do that?

Funnier still, watching a "rotund" Thaler struggling to get the card out of his back pocket.

Absolute clown. Don't fancy his chances when Radford gets to the changing room

That's why he isn't getting picked for England. Real shame.

Exactly pop tart, could be in the England squad in front of quite a few if it wasn't for his shocking disciplinary record. Was it 3 red cards last year?

Yep 3.
I wouldn't mind so much if he raged out in a reaction but that was pretty soft. He had plenty of time to think about it and came up with that.

I only caught the first half of the match, but what annoyed me, was how many times there was a Wire player penalised for an incorrect play the ball yet there was Hull player preventing them from doing so.

I thought that Crosby should have been penalised for messing about not letting Watts play the ball after Thaler told him to play it, that being the case he should have penalised Crosby making the headbutt and subsequent sending off academic, having said that there was no excuse for his actions.

That's a really weak reason for butting someone like a fairy.
Its not the refs fault. He let his team down.

Re: Liam Watts T.F. : Sat Mar 03, 2018 11:28 am  

Does not matter how hard or weak the headbutt was the intent was there and nobody in their right mind would try and defend it, however my point was that had Thaler done his job properly and penalised Crosby for interfering with Watt by holding on to the ball and not allowing him to play it, we'd be a thread light on the Wakey board, if's and buts I know.

Messing about at the pob, is an absolute blight.
I mean, wrap the ball up during the tackle to stop the offload is fair enough, but once we're on the ground the opportunity to offload has passed, we shouldn't be having all this hands in, on the ball, intentional arm tangling and $rseing about, heck, if we have to wait to ptb till there isn't some div with his hand in or around it, the game will grind to a halt.
It was clash of the ball fiddlers yesterday Hull and Wire, its no surprize there was frustration on both sides at pob, they can't complain and deserve each other.
During the WC, the oz refs seemed to have at least a bit of a handle on it, but here it just goes on and on.
