Is it just me or do we get a raw deal from these f**kers?
I mean I've seen some things go our way too but we always seem to be on the wrong side of the ledger in the big calls that are match deciders. The stats don't mean much when we get some blatant concessional penalties late in the game.
Especially over the last few years without the referees having to answer to a strong coach or captain like Bennett/Hornby.
I read an article many years ago about refereeing that indicated the lighter the team colours the more penalties conceded, I think the research related to Soccer or Basketball but proved relevant to all codes statistically at the time.
Imo we seem to consistently get a raw deal, especially at critical times.
