I see carney is charged with a grade C offence of pushing child during our game! Must admit that at the time it was unbelievable why he wasn't shown a red card for shoving the ref and everyone around us was also gobsmacked that it was just ignored by child. I'm pretty sure if Broughy had pushed child, the gonadless ref would have pulled out his red card.

I'll be honest when I saw it in real time I thought Child had just walked into Carney!

Carney appeared to raise his forearm at child and they have set a precedent of no contact with the ref so ban him. Don't want it getting like wendyball

I've seen the replays and it does indeed look like child walks at him, carney raised his forearm into child's chest -could have just been a automatic response but he shouldn't have done it -even if child tramples over him so it has to be a ban.

For me it just demonstrates the complete ineptitude of the RFL, It was so obviously just instinct I'ts a joke, On the other hand a Salford player is allowed to throw the ball forward at a player on the ground, and is awarded a penalty. What a joke of a game we have got, and what a joke child is, We are really scraping the barrel for Ref's now, Not that that is a new thing.

Child was not an innocent party- but If someone walks into you, do you put up a forearm. If it was me I'd put up my open hands. The forearm was an aggressive gesture.

rfl today has said that if a player does what jones did when throwing the pass into brough then the penalty will go the other way

rightly so, was ridiculous! forward pass too!

So 2 Child decisions given against us are now confirmed as 'officially wrong'

Bit of luck for everyone else, plus the teams carney is suspended against. Not much good for us though now....

Spot on on both counts Jo.

As for "Salford's #1 fan''s" comment about agressive use of the elbow..... I wish someone would demonstrate to you what this actually is as you seem extremely confused.
