Absolute bloody disgrace!
Hats off to people for sticking their hand up and officiating but when blatant incompetance comes into it, fans, players and officials have the right to be p*ssed off!
Is the video referee going to voice his opinion all the time or not at all? That's what I want to know. On the occasions when he has given the ref a tip off that he may have got it wrong, you hear praise. Yet when we see a couple of replays and can clearly see something is wrong, yet the video ref is out the back of the box having a p*ss what does that say for this game? Disgraceful officiating. It's the same every week in all games.
There was a number of replays that clearly showed the Dragons player offside and it SHOULD have been a penalty. Yet nothing is said. How Hamstead and his touchies missed it anyway is a question that is answered with a pineapple.
Would a goal there have won Parra the game? Who knows, the whole thing changes. Fact is though, a piece of garbage officiating has cost them the chance to go 2-0 ahead and find out. And that is the frustrating part and what really has me p*ssed off. Don't give me bullsh*t about it evens itself up or had we played better the ref wouldn't have mattered etc. Fact is this Hampstead nob and his crew missed a dead set penalty and in such a tight arm wrestle that could have been the difference.
That game was that close that it was going to turn on the smallest thing. Was it the non penalty? We'll never know. But referees are paid to get the job done. Saturday we'll see 15-20 penatlies for laying around in the ruck like tonight, the inconsistancy is so bloody boring. And I go back to the video ref... Either use the prick or don't use him. He had ample time to give the call to the ref that he got it wrong, yet said nothing. At least fix the damn rule and let us know if the technology is going to be used or not. Because a video ref tipping the ref off once in while and not other times is not f**king good enough.
