I believe the title of the thread is Childs not Agar.

It's a fair point I just think that the level of anger towards the official from people attending on Friday was more or less unanimous and that was the main issue - the club officials were simply echoing that feeling. Child is hardly a stranger to controversy with his 'brand' of officiating across the game. His performance was disgraceful. In the other games you mention you might well take the view that Hull's performance was disgraceful and she should have lambasted the team/coach on each occasion but I doubt that will ever happen even if/when Agar is sacked during the week following a game. The focus on Friday was 100% the referee and the comments that followed reflected most people's opinion on that.

I'm not saying that childs wasn't shiit, because he was. He may even have been the reason we didn't win the game. What I'm saying is that kath's outburst is a result of the pressure she is obviously feeling rather than the fact that the referee was useless. There will have been dozens of instances in her 10 + years at the club where the referee's performance has been cr4p but she hasn't exploded at it

Wasn't just her that reacted though was it. The fans almost unanimously, Fitzgibbon and Matterson.

There is pressure at the club no doubt but the refereeing display was that bad to warrant the outbursts imo.

She wouldn't have said anything if we'd sneaked a try at the end and won. Wouldn't have changed the refs performance one iota but she wouldn't have reacted

So this is a positive thing, then, wouldn't you agree? Some indirect recognition that things aren't right?

That's what I've been saying. Her's and agar's outbursts are down to the pressure they are both under. People who are saying they're representing the fans etc. are just plain wrong

Well we don't know that, you are just guessing. Either way I am glad she spoke up as it demonstrates she cares and if it was all down to pressure then that means the Agar out question is being thought about.

You don't think her reasons are any more calculating than that then? Agar I can accept was just anger, but with our clubs reputation for spin I can see her realising it was a good opportunity to take some heat off him and buy more time. On her radio interview she seemed pretty composed for someone who was having an 'outburst'.
