This report is absolutely disgraceful. And I am sure will be cited as abuse.
I see it completely misses the fact that after time the ball was in Perth's hands and was kicked so long up field but not out that Cott were given another attacking opportunity, had it gone out it would have been a Baysie win. But of course, the loss wasn't because of Baysie it was because of the ref!
You guys are a joke, I listened in the second half to idiots claiming to know the laws who clearly didn't, they even chuckled to themselves that one of their own players had got away with an offside at a tackle, thinking it was great. Learn the laws properly or shut up. Tackle law is completely different to ruck laws, and the refs know this. The guys on the sidelines at perth did a bloody good job of making themselves sound as ridiculous as the guys on the wall at Cott!
I believe any club that produces a match report like this (and I notice the match report from last week is not there, so it's not an every week thing) are abusing match officials and should have referees removed from their games.
There are the right channels for frustration and the wrong channels, and we as referees are supposed to be silent at all times, and just defend the shit that you lot throw at us. There are a number of you on here that know me personally, I don't hide (unlike others who sling crap but remain nameless), if you have an issue, come and talk to me, I am always willing to discus the rights and wrongs, and I do not defend referee errors, I ensure that we learn from them. But I will not do this with a bunch of faceless keyboard cowards, identify yourself or shut up.
I will not comment on specifics as it will obviously be dealt with by RugbyWA on Wednesday.
