The ref in the tonga/ireland game is a disgrace

[Moffo]

worst refereeing i have ever seen. embarrassing

its a shambles

 

[bartman]

Glad he's not taking all the whinging and talking back sh*t from random players though.

I reckon the NRL should stamp a lot of that out too week to week.

 

[Moffo]

id be talking back to him as well, he is a disgrace

 

[nqcowboy87]

he's channeling russel smith i reckon

 

[jc155776]

Hahaha Video ref makes a useless call

Unreal.

 

[Moffo]

f**k me. this is a disgrace

 

[kia ora storm]

This ref is a clown...talking to the players like they are kids.

All aboard Mr Ganson, go home son.

He was abysmal, he made me teary eyed for Mogsheen Jaghwad and Steve Lyons wishing they were out there refereeing. And he was the same doofus who found a 20m restart last night in what was an obvious penalty try (except for He Who Is Almighty And Loves To Blow The Pea Out Of The Whistle And Will Be Obeyed Steve Ganson)

 

[Twizzle]

he lost it at full time

 

[ByRd]

This ref lost it, the Tongans did give away some silly penalties but the Irish were not perfect either but got away with alot. And a player is allowed to ask the ref a question as Mateo was trying to do in the 1st half but he treats them like kids, pathetic ref, ruined a good game

 

[roopy]

The sh*t reffing actually added to the spectacle in the end - but don't let the idiot ref another game.

 

[Iafeta]

I thought it was Shayne Hayne on happy tablets... same ground too. I'm glad Mateo and co didn't start using their hands in conversation.

 

[kia ora storm]

This shows that the NRL clowns are a tad classier than this Bozo...

 

[roopy]

You think Tonga whinged about everything else - wait till Dymock winds up about the ref?

 

[Frustrated Fan]

That refereeing performance will do me. I wonder if they (the ref & video ref) are likely to face disciplinary action over it. They most certainly should.

It is absolutely criminal for punters to be subjected to that.

 

[innsaneink]

Reminded me of the old Kangaroo tours and the hometown refs, certainly was leaning Irishs way

 

[God-King Dean]

id be talking back to him as well, he is a disgrace

Let him know about the new finacial news eh.

 

[Jimmy The Judge]

I haven't seen the game but as a fan of Super League who has to suffer him on a weekly basis I'm hardly suprised at his performance.

He genuinely believes that he's part of the show and that he should be given an equal share of the limelight.

I'm all for players showing good discipline and respecting referees but a referee has to earn that respect. When an official continually makes bad decisions and talks to players like they're children then they will back chat him.

If he continues it would no surprise to me to see him physically assaulted by a player or club official.

How on earth he was allowed to ref todays game after last nights shocking decision over the Ropati 'knock on' is also beyond me.

 

[adamkungl]

I swear I saw penalties for tackling too hard. Fking pathetic

 

[screeny]

He effectively gave an Australian fanbase the "SL experience": blowing so many penalties for dubious ruck infrongements that results in players looking to milk penalties and has the spectator anxiously anticipating penalties on every play.

Also, the SL Reffing experience leads to players getting irritated and spoken to like they were muppets. Ganson lost control of the ENg v Wales match and nearly lost control of this one too.
