Two questions here:

1. How good a referee was Billy Thompson

2. Would you agree with my previous poast about Thaler the touch judges, and Thaler's confidence in his decision making and ins general refereeing terms?

Billy took no prisoners at all , the players and E1 else new who was in charge of the game .If you ever get chance to see Alex Murphy doing his after dinner speaking he will tell you how good Billy was.

and


yes agree with your 2nd point about Thaler

So you think Thaler is:

1. Getting to the Billy Thompson standard

2. He has already got there.

I suspect it is the first option.

You complained at Ron Laughton for doing that last night.

Laughton was incompetent last night, although I will give him the benefit of the doubt for over ruling his touch judge having seen it again, well done on THAT call Mr Laughton - nothing else.

Mr Thaler is STREETS ahead of Ronnie Laughton.

I wouldn't like Laughton to be a full timer. We'd be in Salford's spot by now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
