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?Chobbsy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 1:26 pmOh no not "it's all about me Dickson" for me one of the worse refs out thereTigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 12:00 pmThat's a good thing as you can argue the TMO has as much influence on the game as tge refRugbygramps wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 11:56 am

Re: Bristol (Home) - 30th April 2022 KO 15:00
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 Sundaychris111 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 2:22 pmIs this the same Dickson who after he refereed Tigers earlier this year was grudgingly agreed to have been half decent?

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.

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.

Maybe not but if anyone can get close or even worse surely it has to be Dickson?
Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!

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.

Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

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.

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!
Re: Bristol (Home) - 30th April 2022 KO 15:00
Yes: just take the ref out of it by playing at our best.
