Aaah, here comes the deliberate confusion, the tactic of the stranded starbug.

So was it as was suggested a reference to something the Bradford Chairman once said ?

Besides the outdated racial stereotype (which was for your benefit), yes.

A drop kick and a drop goal attempt are not the same thing. Mr Cummings has clarified this for those who despite moaning day in day out regarding minor policies of the RFL and having spent years involved in the game, never bothered to learn the rules. Which is mostly Steve Ganson and you.

Mr Cummins wasn't the video ref , and his opinions are no more valid than anybody elses , it was a knock on , not an imaginary drop kick attempt

He is the controller of referees (or match officials director), his opinions are quite a lot more valid than 'anybody elses', he reviews their performance and it is he who judges whether a referee has interpreted the rules correctly.

He, as the arbiter of these things, as part of his job, has informed us, to the no great surprise of anyone but those who dont know the rules, that dropping the ball and kicking it, as per the definition of a drop kick, is shockingly, a drop kick. A perfectly legal aspect of the game and those who thought a drop kick could only be attempted as part of a drop goal, for reasons yet to be understood, had completely invented a rule which doesnt, and has never, appeared in the rules of the game.

But it contained an outdated racial stereotype, you said these were funny?

The only persons relevant to any games are the ones charged with making the decisions at that game , Mr Cummins could point out hundreds of infringements at every match played that he might consider punishable , but the relevant officials see as ok , Mr Cummins similarly no doubt made thousands of decisions that he might now consider differently

It was a knock on , then he kicked the ball , it wasn't an attempt at a drop kick

Thats poor, even by your standards.

Typical, lazy black people, cant even get the timing right in a joke about how it isnt funny to stereotype people. Probably all sat around eating water melons and fried chicken.
