Richard Silverwood : Mon Mar 23, 2009 12:31 am  

Seemed very whistle happy today. The second half was so stop-start it was frustrating.

What was the total penalty count?

I just get the feeling silverwood makes Ganson look like a good referee........

He spoilt the 2nd Half by giving WAY too many penalties, half of which left us asking "what was that for"!

two things that annoyed me yesterday, riley getting penalised for pushing a player off the tackle after a quick break, i know you're not supposed to do it but it happens at least once a game and it never ever gets penalised unless it's something really stupid or over zealous.

and in the first half near the south stand on the W40 someone lay behind the ptb not getting up, wire drop the ball backwards and kr player is still coming back and dives on the ball, no penalty, silverwood looks and gets no help from the merry flag waver.

very very annoying.

Spot on that terrible decision.

I was more frustrated with the decision in the 1st Half to award a 20 metre restart, despite the In Goal Judge blatantly signalling a Drop Out.
The IG Judge was far better positioned than Silverwood to judge the incident but still Silverwood ignored him.

We know he loves to ignore the rules but now he chooses to ignore his fellow team of officials.

According to one Hull KR fan I know, Silverwood was bent and wanted Warrington to win the game.

He did a very good job of disguising it if he did.
