That should be edited to first offence seen / acknowledged by officials.

First offence was clearly Gilmour, hence discussion.

when I was a lad I was taught that the person who retaliated gets penalised. Therefore, Saints penalty was the correct decision.

what about retaliation to retaliation to something you did in the first place? Simple, Gilmour sent off and banned for the rest of the season.

On that basis, it should have been Leeds penalty. i.e. only thing seen was Smith first, Gilmour then throwing punches. Of course it was Gilmour first, but what was seen was Smith.

But then that would be against your agenda..... Or do you now accept it should have been Leeds penalty?

once again Leeds fans twisting the truth, he pulled the top of his shirt, not his hair.

Leeds clearly lost the game because of that decision. I am disgusted that Bentham did not send off at least 5 saints players.

What Leeds fan has said this? The OP isnt even a Leeds fan. In fact the majority of Leeds fans arent even that bothered about the result and have just accepted that we were beaten by the better team on the night. No excuses given or anything.

Was disappointed in Gilmour. Always rated him and was gutted Wigan let him go.

He's been on the end of some huge hits, been knocked senseless many times (normally for GB) and been targeted many times. However, I've never seen him kick off like that and when he does he chooses Lee Smith, probably half his size and a lot younger.

Whoever you think was to blame, Gilmour started windmilling and I thought better of him.

is a bit uncharacteristic for Gilmour

To be fair, smith pushed him in the face, if he had just pushed back smith would probably have got the first punch in,
not that any of gilmours hit the target.

Penalty should have gone Leeds way for that one.

Cunningham should have been penalised too.
Fair play to Burgess, he looked great for Leeds, and when he got his head smashed into the ground he stood up as if nothing had happened.

Leeds got away with a couple as well though eh?

Possible eye gauge by Gilmour?
