Other Fixtures 18th-20th February 2022

[Crofty]

Deano is going to be in trouble: ‘…favouritism or they don’t know what they’re doing…’ in reference to the refereeing.

Problem is, where's the lie? Ridley very much at the end seemed to me to have decided that there was absolutely no way Falcons, a man down for 55 minutes, should be in a position to win the game so when the entire Exeter front row tried to grab the Falcon's second rows ankles, twice in a row, right in front of him, we had resets running the clock into the red and then, miracle of miracles the scrum stays up long enough for Exeter to get the ball out and put it into touch. That's just one example, he was at it the entire second half...

[Scott1]

Just watched the Chick incident. Mr Rugby Incident he say red

[Tiglon]

Deano should be in trouble after that. Ridley didn't have his best game but he was 100% correct with the red and for a DoR to criticise that is outrageous.

Shame that Deano didn't express any concern for his former player. Gone down in my estimations.

He may think that, we may think that, we can say that, but he can’t. Certainly not on TV. He can submit his own report to the refs committee or whatever it is, but not make a public comment of that nature. And sadly he has previous, so as per my original comment I suspect he’s going to be in trouble.

Mrs G has always commented on the Chiefs free pass for several offences, at tackle or set piece. They've always been well coached to take advantage of weak reffing, a reason they've struggled at times in Europe, under less tolerant refs, to gain dominance.

Oh, absolutely, does make you think how the RFU would respond to figurative whistle bowlers though...

They've had a lot of popularity with fans and media for being not us and not Sarries but successful for a while now, I can well imagine that such positivity will affect referees. The scales are falling from the eyes of many of late though, it might get less comfortable for them in the future...

[westwinds31]

Watched the Quins highlights, nice to see Care taking a quick tap from way off the mark again and it resulting in a try. Winds me up.

Many forward passes? Just asking for a friend

He's up before the beak tomorrow!

Didn’t have any further to fall in my estimation….a proven cynical cheat who gets no free pass because he is an ex-Tiger.

Still a legend for a lot of us.

Not aware of any Salary Cap issues or Covid Breaches.

Presumably you’re aware of bloodgate, though?

Yes, but it's well known that Quins were the team to get caught, not the only offender, Dean also took most of the blame for that, it's safe to say his face has never fit with the RFU.
My introduction to Tigers was with him in the "G" Shirt, he was the Rugby equivalent of Jan Molby.
