Bristol (Home) - 30th April 2022 KO 15:00

[Scott1]

Personally after what happened in this fixture last year I really really want a win...

And me! Sure the team talk will mention it

[Chobbsy]

Why us......at least Kitty isn't involved.

And Rosey is one of the better less intrusive TMO in my view

That's a good thing as you can argue the TMO has as much influence on the game as tge ref

Oh no not "it's all about me Dickson" for me one of the worse refs out there

[Scott1]

Can't be any worse than CMK was in the Sarries game

Is this the same Dickson who after he refereed Tigers earlier this year was grudgingly agreed to have been half decent? Even by those posters who spend their time in perpetual outrage at referees’ performance? Or is there a different Dickson for Saturday?

Certainly multiple personalities out there Chris

No I don't remember that at all! You must've dreamt it! I do remember some compliments at CMK recent progression but he put paid to that with his dire performance in the Sarries v Chiefs game on Sunday

[Noggs]

CMK was indeed very very poor on Sunday so is now in a close call for a 'normal' Dickson performance.

That said we need to manage the ref and limit penalties if we want to win. I am sure SB will have given the message loud and clear.

[Jimmy Skitz]

Just bought a ticket for my first live game, been meaning to do this for a while

Where are you sitting / standing? You may find one of the board contributors standing next to you
I hope that prospect does not put you off
I will be near half way standing on the Crumbie. I only get down periodically but taxi driving back to University gives me the opportunity this weekend.
It will be good to give Tom Youngs a good send off too.

North stand around the 10m line I think

You could say you get the same consistacy rolling ten dice.

[voice of the crumbie]

Can't be any worse than CMK was in the Sarries game

Maybe not but if anyone can get close or even worse surely it has to be Dickson?

I’m sure he will give it a good go!

[TigerFeetSteve]

Despite having had Dickson regularly, and despite our moaning about him, he hasn't presided over a loss for us in over 12 months.
(Saints game last year 24th April)
So either
1- we've played him out of the game every time we've had him. In which case lets do it again
Or
2- he doesn't make decisions which are too bad for us.

This is true, but it does not stop him ruining the enjoyment of the game or me screaming at the tv.

I don't believe Dickson is biased, just totally random.

As you said, let's hope the game is not close enough, that any poor decisions cost us.

[PIEANDAPINT]

We are currently first in the Premiership and the team to beat . We should focus on our own strengths and achievements and not become fixated about referees before the game even starts. If we play to the potential which we have shown this season we will win!

[Ian Cant]

Yes: just take the ref out of it by playing at our best.
