So the quality of the teams doesn't matter then? Well that's simple... we send the Cas High U14 team out and give the squad a nice rest before Monday at Saints.

Cheers!

With two reasonably even matched teams the Ref's interpretation of the rules will always have an influence on the result. With Childs it make an even greater influence.

No. But it means you guys will come away from the game with the two points which at the end of the day is what it's all about.

So basically if you win, it's through your own efforts, but if we win, it'll be because we've had help from the referee?

tbh i think childs stupid penalties will slow the game down which will help wakey, quick play of the balls and fast running from dummy half cut them to bits against saints and i think we would have done the same with a competent ref. Now the game will become slow and niggly which will suit wakey far more than us

Agreed.

With two evenly matched teams one will win and one will lose or they'll draw. The referee's interpretation of the rules may or may not have an influence. The only people who complain are the ones on the side that loses, and no-one will ever be able to tell if another referee would have handled the game so that another outcome would have happened. It's complete speculation.

People can gripe, moan and complain as much as they like about the referee, but one point to bear in mind is this: the standard of refereeing is usually much better when you're a neutral spectator.

Not necessarily. He may favour us this time. My point is that he will have too big an influence on the result. What that result will be , we don't know yet.
Recent history suggest's that Childs favours Cas, so my money would be on a Cas win.

Favours us? You must be joking. He hasn't been biased in the games he's done for us, just trigger happy with the whistle. We're as annoyed he's reffing our game as a fan of any side would be.

Also, are you saying that with any other ref in charge, that you'd win?

As far as I am aware Cas have won every game that has had Child in charge. At least the last two against us + the Hull game. How can he favour you any more? Send off the opposing 13 before the kick off?

With any other ref we would still be at the mercy of the guy's interpretation but, generally, he would control the game as we/you/every one else on the planet would expect.
On current form you would probably win, but through skill and ability rather than through the inept performance of a clossett Cas fan.

So you ARE saying we could put the Cas High U14s out and still win, because the ref will see to it!

I refer the honorable gentleman to the answer I gave before.

The End.
