No.

That is absolutely diabolical !

Have Bradford asked for an enquiry or explanation ?

One TJ getting it wrong I could understand ....but both of them !

That's the problem I think what's happened here is, the one who got it wrong, signalled it first, and the second one panicked and gave the same signal, which is terrible, because once they've both signalled it, refs cannot over-rule them. It's only ref's call when the touchies give a split decision.

Think ive only even seen it once where ones put it up and the other waved it off...think the ref made the deciding call..

In all fairness I think it was a lot closer than people are making it out to be. That camera isn't the best angle and you definitely can't tell.

bring back ridiculously tall goal posts...

I was surprised they don't have these proper tall posts at championship level.

Legend has it that swintons station rd posts where the tallest in the "RLworld"...bet ours were'nt far behind.....if the cross bar is 3m the old style posts must have been 13-14m tall??

Got a good look at ours one day without the pads on..you could see the grain of the wood,knots an all...them where the days

Its easier to take down the smaller metal posts....i bet the sheddings post where 50-60 years old and never got took down till they demolished the place

London have started well, certainly better than i expected anyway

A crowd of 358 turned out to watch Manchester Rangers on Friday night! Is this a potential League One applicant in the coming years? There's massive potential there!!

Coventry Bears to play Keighley at the 32,000 capacity Ricoh Arena next month. Great move for them and surely the biggest stadium to ever host a League 1 match.

It'll be interesting to see what the attendance is. I just think a month is a bit short notice to push it. I hope it works out for them.

They're having a double header with Wasps RU, who on average are getting crowds of 10-12,000 there. Hopefully a few turn up early to watch the League match.

Thanks. I didn't realise that as none of the articles I've read mention the fact. Makes sense though.

Over 1,000 at the Coventry vs Keighley match today, easily a record crowd for one of the new League One expansion teams. Sounds like they put in a good performance too, pushing an established side.

Newcastle Thunder drew a crowd of 3,033 on Friday night in the lead into the Magic Weekend.

Whilst the result wasn't quite what they would have wanted, it is the largest crowd by the Thunder side in over a decade.
