REFEREE FOR CUP GAME IS...........

[turf]

Karl Kirkpatrick. Not a bad appointment, we could have had worse. From what I have seen of Kirkpatrick this year, he has probably been the best referee so far.

at least its not ashley clown

Very true!!!!!!!!!! He had another shocker apparently with Wakefield v Warrington. At least it's not Phil Bentham either, I don't think he's very good.

As far as I'm concerned, Kirkpatrick is the worst ref in superleague, we've all seen him have some horrorshows and has made some awful decisions against us in the past.

The only good ref at the moment is Ian Smith

btw likely lad i can understand why you dont want to be wizard milward anymore lol

The problem with KK is that he is blatently biased. I was sat near him when we flew from Blackpool to France last year, he admitted as much, he is a big headed very dislikeable person, and thats being polite!

I agree with you about KK. If KK had been the ref at the Castleford match we would of lost by 70 points. He knows every trick in the book to sway a match by giving his prefered team all the best field position while he levels up nicely the penalty count for each team.[/quote]

I can see that his woeful decisions against Wigan in the past have been mentioned. Not to mention perhaps the refereeing blunder of last season.

When Kirkpatrick went to the video referee to see if HE himself had shouted "held" in our play off game against Wakefield last season.

He is from Warrington enough said.
