Is it just me or has no-one else noticed that ref's are ok as long as decisions are going against the opposition, when they're given against "our" team then the ref is inevitably w@nker, funny that.

Funnily enough, whenever I've attended a match as a neutral I invariably don't notice the ref...

Ganson and the Bulls goes back to a cold Wednesday night at Odsal in 1997 when we played the Oldham Bears and Ganson was the referee (the first time we had ever had the cheating ....)


The early days

1998 Warrington at home (gave Wire loads of penalties and nearly cost us the game)

1998 Hull at home (sent Robbie Paul & Bradley to the sin bin for throwing the ball away, Hull players does it and nothing gets done)

1999 Castleford away (sent Anderson off in the 18-18 draw, replays showed he did nothing wrong)

2000 Warrington away (sends big Mac off and Lowes to the sin in mass brawl) We lead 32-12 at half time and lose 44-32 as Ganson gives every thing but money to Wire in the second half

2000 Wakefield away (gives just about every penalty in the RFL rule book to Wakefield as we lose 16-12)

Step a bit forward . . ..

2005 Widnes at home (25-25, need I say no more) Stuart Duffy in the press room after thematch shows the press some interesting stats that show that Ganson gives more penalties against the Bulls then any other team.

2007 Leeds at home (fails to send Brent Webb off for a shocking head high tackle), costs us the game as Donald scores off a mile forward pass in the last two minutes

2007 Cardiff (Cheated and robbed of two points)

2007 Wigan away (gives Pies a 13-4 penalty count as we lose 25-1

2007 Wakefield at home (sends big Joe off as we just hold on for a 36-24 win)


2008 Huddersfield away (yet again two players in the sin bin and a red card to Paul sykes who calls him a cheat at the full time hooter of which Ganson robs us of a chance to draw as we go down 25-24)

2009 Huddersfield at home (same old Ganson as he misses a shocking Huddersfiedl knock-on that leads to atry and rules out two Bradford tries)

Ganson told me in the sauna how he used to enjoy sending Lowes to the bin because he was such a gob poop

I was in a hot tub with Ganson and he told me he enjoyed sending Lowes flowers because he had lovely eyes.

There's a similar story from a source some of us on here know following a Leeds-Wigan game that was on Sky.

Rob Burrow was penalised for standing at dummy half waving his arms in exasperation at the holding down. Ganson is reputed to have said in the referees room after the game that he was glad he managed to get "that little sh*t Burrow".

So he is **** after all then.

I say we get him on Trisha and let the interrogaters see if he has robbed us

and these "comments" would stand up in court of LAW

Talk about clutching at straws to prove ANY point

Mick "I haven't got the bottle to do it myself but constantly complain about those who do" Geldhill in have a go at Steve Ganson shocker. I thinkl the problem is that Mick fancies Gans and Gans has turned him down.

I've got a copy of the big Joe incident and if that wasn't an instant sending off offence then I don't know what is.

Send it my way please, because big Joe did nothing wrong
