It's so fucking blatantI hate blaming refs but he clearly has a problem with us always finds rules that rarely come out

Wasn't that a professional foul?The last penalty of the game shows Sutton demeanor.
The tigers players were lying down on our player and had no intention of getting. It took ages for the penalty to be blown
Intentional is not the same as professional.Wasn't that a professional foul?
But it was!! FFSI didn't hear the video ref say that it wasn't a professional foul?
You're on drugs mate and not the good kind. I had the sportsears on and heard everything that Sutton said and the Video refs (General?) reply. They got the call 100% right. Lee did interfere with him. Sutton specifically asked if they would've scored and whether it was a professional foul. The VR came back and told him they wouldn't have scored but that it was a professional foul. There may have been one or two strips that one could argue were loose carries but that happens every game. Sutton wasn't the reason why we lost. We just couldn't get on a roll. As for the last try - shit happens. The boys were out on their feet and the bounce beat them.Our club needs to put in an official complaint against them, and we should refuse to play if either of them are named to officiate our future games.
8 - 3 penalty count.
Video ref confirms no professional foul, Gerard over rules them and sends Lee to bin.
Tigers score where Lee should have been defending.
These two jokers need to be stood down and investigated.
The video ref said it was a professional foul as well, but that it wouldn't have stopped him from scoring and so it wasn't a penalty try.He didn't. It was a bit of a chain of evidence. The on field ref said "Have a look at this. If Lawrence could have scored then it's a professional foul", the video ref said "There's no evidence to suggest that Lawrence could have scored", then the on-field ref said "Professional foul"
Nope. The video ref said, "Bulldogs player held Tigers player back. There's no evidence that the Tigers player would have gotten to the ball. We have our decision"The video ref said it was a professional foul as well, but that it wouldn't have stopped him from scoring and so it wasn't a penalty try.
They definitely were. The problem isn't that they were by the book. The problem is that when it was a foul by the Bulldogs it was called. When it was a foul by the Tigers they looked the other way. This happened quite often in the play of the ball when Bulldogs players we're held down for a long time. Often they would look at the referee then their defensive line while holding down the player. Or they'd hold the ball and you'd hear the ref say "holding the ball", and they'd keep holding, and 30 seconds later they'd let go and it would be play on.I hate the guy with a passion.....but unfortunately I've gotta say his calls today were by the book
