yeah happens in front of us at Saints, the official in charge of the interchanges has cards with the sub number on and as a player comes off he holds it up. clearly a shocking lapse moment.

A replay would be the perfect option. or a draw given.

No doubt the official in question will get a rap on the knuckles, but ultimately it's the responsibility of the club to control their interchanges.

Jesus wept, that's priceless. If you want to talk about dodgy decisions, we could also mention the sending off that never was?

I don't think anyone would deny that something needs to be done, but a £100 fine is the previously set precedent and, really, it should be down to the touchline official to get any extra punishment, not Salford. That's hardly acting up because of money coming into the club.

Given we are in a battle to avoid the wooden spoon and it happened at a point near the end of the game when you were hanging on to a small lead you can't understand why some of us aren't sore about it?.

You should give your specs a wipe...

If you read my post I say, and I quote, "I understand why it would miff some fans." Bradford got a wrap on the knuckles, Saints got fined £100 for the same thing, and Cas fans want us stripped of the win/replayed/deducted two points.

A slight over-reaction?

Come on fella, it's taken us years to finally beat your lot, your not snatching it away now!

The extra man is clearly just a cynical attempt by Dr K. to inflate the attendance figures.

Something has to be done to make up for the thousands who attend the hospitality and don't contribute to the Reds numbers

To call for a 2 point deduction or a replay would be penalizing Salford for something they have no control over. Hardly fair. I understand why it would miff some fans, but all it is is a mistake by an official. Get over it.

So the Salford player thought we had gone to a 14 game code when his team mate didn't come off then?
I assume Nobby though one of his subs was wearing the invisible suit as well.

Are you serious.
Salford have no control on how many of their players are on the pitch ?

Dock 'em 2 points !

You think? They have "no control" over how many of their players are on the pitch?

Wow. It must be some amazing co-incidence of all time then that, by pure uncontrolled chance, they've managed to keep it to exactly 13 this last century or so.
