Just watched it again! Kitch deffo releases immediately, tries to roll over tackled player, this normally slows the ball up but the ball had already been placed at the back foot so was playable, material? Btw had Webber not been faffing about he would've secured it before GT got his mitts on the bal...

What is really interesting is that I put in my OP that I didn’t want to go on about CMK , this was more about up and coming refs. Yet 3 pages later people are still discussing him. He obviously stirred up some emotions Then why specifically use CM-K as an example of poor refereeing to make your poi...

If you only listen to the poor law judgements of pundits like Healey, Kay and Flatman, then you'll end up with all the rest of the pantomime brigade who aren't really interested in what happens, just want to have their hissing and booing heard. Some examples: 1. Crowd boo because CM-K correctly refe...

I think John's point is the intent seemed to be to tackle legally and is upper chest/ below shoulder (however you describe) not legal? Of course it's legal, but as mentioned its a dynamic sport with all players constantly dipping, so in some circumstances you're tackle height should compensate and ...

Personally I think that for a Red Card to be issued the referee should be satisfied there was intent But what about negligence? Spencer was aiming to tackle in the upper chest area, so therefore risked a high tackle in the dynamics of it all. Spencer had the option to go lower but chose not to, the...
