Radford said (on Humberside) it was for a choke hold, although he also said something along the lines of "if I wanted to put a choke hold on someone I'd back myself to do it properly" He also said that Brett Ferres (IIRC) did the same thing a few minuites later and it was let go. (or possibly a penalty).

I heard that. Sums up the story of the match really.

I must confess, as Cas fan I even thought some of the decisions were terrible, and even though it won't be much consolation I do think you got some rough calls. Really not sure what Radford did wrong to get ten minutes, surely a head high 15 mins into the game doesn't warrant ten mins in the bin, when we admittedly went high twice and stayed on the pitch- inconsistency or what...

I know Rich Agar will probably feel it in his wallet but I think that he has said what every other Super League coach has been thinking- hopefully this will get them to have a closer look at what he is doing, because he is clearly ruining potentially good games of RL. He's struck twice for Cas this year already.

Still, I thought Cas showed grit and determination to stick it out and I'm pleased with the result, but I'm sure you guys will pick up results as the year goes on. All the best for the rest of the year.

Your humility is much appreciated. The best of luck for the rest of year, including your licence application ( Cas is my favourite away day).

The referee decides on whether he is held or not, thankfully that's not down to some clueless speccie.

I don't need to see the incident, all I need to do is quote what The Laws of the Game state.

Something you really are clueless about.

You don't even have to spend any money to get a copy, they are available on-line. All you need is the ability to read and comprehend.

You haven't seen the incident yet your an expert. Typical Coddy. I'm not surprised your defending a ref but unfortunately your the "clueless" one on this.

Well, if you have nothing planned, you're always welcome to come down and watch Cas v Salford on Sunday next week?

This thread is Childish.

Re: Childs : Fri Apr 01, 2011 11:40 pm  

Child was complete garbage, but I can't understand how anyone can say he cost you the game. It's even worse when you have your coach saying he 100% cost you the game. Sean Long was a complete idiot tonight

Shame Child spoiled what should have been a really good game, good luck for the rest of the season.

If the ref calls held and simultaneously the ball is off-loaded then it is indeed a scrum, with head and feed given to the team in possession.
He did enough wrong without this one though.

He cost us the game because whenever we had field position and looked to apply pressure he pinged us with imaginary penalties. He did the same to you, just not at as vital times.

Re: Childs : Fri Apr 01, 2011 11:48 pm  

I dont think I can add to what everyone has said on this thread about the referee. He was an absolute disgrace, one of the worst performances I have seen in 30+ years of being a Hull FC fan.
What I will add is this. If it is true that some of our 'fans' where calling for Agars head after that game (in the vicinity of the press conference so I believe) They want to give it a rest. I saw a team tonight playing for their coach, no matter what any of us think of him, this is a FACT.
So lets stop the moaning and start doing what us Hull FC fans are good at, supporting the bloody team!

Look daft lad, stick to Safety Camera Partnerships and stop pretending you know the Laws of the Game or even simple common sense. The scenario you described has one of THREE outcomes:

1) Ref decides "ball steal" - penalty to side in possession

2) Ref decides "pass after tackle" - penalty to tackling side

3) Ball "comes loose" (as in either passed or stripped) as he called "held" - scrum with head & feed to team last in possession

The only time I would criticise the ref, given the above, is if he awarded a scrum with head & ball to the tackling side.

Anything to add?
