[quote="Maccbull_BigBullyBooaza"]Was the Doro offence even that bad? I thought the ref, who was really poor, was swung by the Barrow players.[/quote]

Will have to watch full game back. Fans think refs got decisions wrong during the game, then we watch them back and they in fact got the correct decision.

But having watched the highlights that, Fulton sin-bin was just abysmal. Seemed to be fine with Barrow pushing our player over after their try causing a melee. Fulton has his head taken off (actually looks like he gets kneed on the floor too) get up and pushes him, to which one of their players pushes Fulton again when he's got his back turned. Yet only we got a sin-bin.

After watching Barrows "tactics" in particular Jarrod Stack, I'm more convinced than ever Taufua was innocent. Anyway as they say winners are grinners.

Barrow seem to have a particularly grubby approach and the ref was very wet behind the ears about it.

Although not a single coiffured hair was out of place!

Barrow are absolutely brilliant at reffing the game in their favour. Time refs grew wise to their jumping up and down and waving their arms in unison.

The Bulls full match is out now
To me it looks like Doro gets elbow/forearm to face before the red card. Didn't think Griffiths had the best game.

Very difficult to see what Doro did to deserve a red card from that video.

Barrow players all jumping about trying to influence the ref as usual.

That's what I thought. I'm not sure he would have been sent off without everyone in a Barrow shirt making out like he'd stabbed him making the ref's mind up for him.

Very poor referee.

Re: Barrow (H) : Wed Jun 05, 2024 9:23 am  

If Doro's defence is going to involve claiming he was defending himself against the deliberate elbow to the jaw by the Barrow player, would we as a club have to report the player, to help Doro?

I'd be interested to hear what the ref and touch judge saw. They were nearer than the camera viewpoint. If I was Doro I'd say any head movement was instinctive movement away as a result of being repeatedly elbowed in the face.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Make the match officials get changed in the pavilion and walk through the crowd. In fact, the first time I suggested it was after Steve Ganson sent Joe Vagana off on his return to Odsal after he made a rubbish of it at Cardiff, purely to show us who was boss.

That would nip this sort of thing in the bud

Update: Doro gets a 3 match ban. loving wankers it's as corrupt as love. That ref had a shocker and got bullied by the Barrow players.

nice people

As if the swear filter picks up nice people, lovers but not dicks and wankers.
