fozzard and sculthorpe always lead with forearms and not with the ball carrying arm.Watched meli nearly take a players head off and wasnt even put on report,the same goes for sculthorpe on higham last night and calderwood could catch Brough if he gave him a 30 metre start so he never did him on purpose Brough played on it.It is just a case of bias against Wigan

The argument used for most of the send-offs is "intent". How could Thaler not judge the Sculthorpe incident as "intent" IF as he says, he "saw it"?

He did pose the question to Brian Noble, who was very circumspect, whether Wigan were "doing something wrong" and that "Brian Noble had spent half his time at the judiciary this season" - just getting players "off" their charges or representing them at cases.

Why has Wigan's discipline become "so bad"? Is it that bad? Or are Wigan victims of some sort of RFL biased purge that ignores other incidents committed from players from other teams, yet "comes down hard" on any indiscretion from Wigan?

It is fair to say that the "full-time" referees are ruining the games enjoyment for the fans now. Games can and are being decided on the "whims" of the officials rather than the quality of play - and that is wrong.

If we have parity accross the board then i have no problem.But do we have parity or fairness? i think not!Nor will things change until wigan rfc start to be more vocal in the defence of players and the ludicrous state of reffing.The stains sh*tes woud be shouting the sodding rafters down if even one of thier players was spoken to by the ref.Let alone binned or red carded.For god sake wigan stand up for yourselves.We are better than those sewer rats from stains. :devi: :angry: :evil:

I dont usually get involved in criticising refs as it is the easiest the thing to do rather than than blame your own players or tactics.Last night however was a poor di splay all round from BT and i hope this is addressed by SC.

If everyone sends a mail then at least he might get sick of receiving mail from us.

I will probably send another mail to Phil "Cliff Richard" Clarke for his bland column on sky sports - just so that he can blindly defend the ref like he always does - it must pay well to be the official pet goon for Sky!
