Mr Hicks

Post by onedego »

Am I the only one who really thought that he was about as useful as a soggy old crumpet tonight?

For the first half, he spent most of his time piddling about with his ear piece and not watching the game. At one point I actually caught him watching the dancing ad-boards rather than the game...

As for those ad-boards, good god Mr Whelan, can we have the bloody things static during the game? PLEASE!

He was dreadful, particularly first half. Some of his decisions baffled both sets of players, never mind the fans.

Forget the ad boards, if I had to watch matches refereed by Hicks every week my days as a RL fan would be numbered. Hopeless, inconsistent and lacking any understanding were my thoughts. It is time for Cummings to go because if Hicks and Child are his new top tier referees, officiating is going backwards.

very happy he heard me as he was laughing and joking with one of the Cru players:

"It's not funny hicks"
looks at me
"You're rubbish"
looks at me
"And you know it"
looks at me, then runs away.

He looked totally confused on a few occasions and there was one set in particular seemed to consist more like a set of 8 although I am sure I am wrong :eusa18:
Never argue with an idiot. He will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.

I don't think you are. I commented at the time he'd lost count on one set.

Well posted Andy. You've covered every point I wanted to make. Not fit to ref an U8 game.

Must admit, I missed the 8 tackle set though. Hope Sophie's sainted dad picks it up!

I was being polite KW & said he wasn't good enough to referee the academy teams :blush:

that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
