He actually pretends to be an Altrincham supporter so that he can ref rag games. Wanker of the highest order.

Why can't hey just be honest. I think Dean is a Dippers or Toffees fan so doesn't get the Dipper games. If they lie about that what else can they succumb to, to further their career?

The theory goes that if you don't ref rag games you don't ref the biggest games of the season and therefore don't get to the top of the profession. They'll need to re-evaluate that theory now. I guess.

The touch judge flagged the ref who was dealing a very serious injury to a Warrington player was about to award one decision, when still waving the flag, he went to see his ast. What is it mate, foot out of play mate here. Massive but missed by everyone, a real game changer as Widnes were to get a scrum 10 meters out, with mins to go. Clattenburg, who was miked up at Arsenal and knew full well what Wilshire had done as they are miked up was thinking fuck that, I do not need givingh him a red ! I,m the law maker here. he is making it up as he goes, and that is the biggest problem we have with refs, they have help whith decisions and Like Dean who had no flag from the liner 5 meters away decides Costa who like Ramires dived the whole game with end up getting what they wanted a red card, Tactic from a team, like Arsenal with Wilshire who does as he pleases and the refs for unknown reason do not walk to a liner and ask why the flag, In RL, they work as a team.
john68 wrote:Sorry Hazy Mate but have to totally disagree with you regarding the actions of RL refs. There is no difference whatsoever and in fact it is far more blatant and easy to spot.
Sky TV effectively own RL, so much so that they demand that the big teams all make the play offs. That is Sky's payday. I stopped watching Salford because I was so pissed off, year on year having to watch the honest effort of a small club being thwarted, time and time again to ensure the elite clubs succeeded.
Sound familiar?

Important things first...I don't watch TV very often and then usually confined to sport, so cant give a definitive answer on that. I would say that I could keep plenty amused on here with the real life actualities of my job....:-)

john68 wrote:There are two sides to Sky's ownership of RL. It has undoubtedly kept the sport alive or at least at the level it is now, but there is an opposite argument that removal from terrestrial TV has also removed it from a much larger public audience.
It is also true that "he who pays the piper decides the tune" and Sky demand their pound of flesh. At the business end, they have to have the big clubs in the play offs and grand finals. That is where the money is for them. The RFL have to comply with their paymasters and duly deliver.
Perhaps the most blatant example of this was some years ago when surprisingly, Wigan were sat bottom and in danger of being relegated. The RFL made the audacious offer to pay £250,000 to a club being promoted, if they chose to stay in the lower league.
