Just out of interest, how many of you lot on here were singing "the referee's a wa**er" or "cheat cheat cheat" at the end of the game?

I couldn't believe my ears when I heard it. How biased and blinkered can one set of fans be? It was a blatant high tackle for the penalty, which was only 1 of 2 that we received all day, and the time-keeping was a complete non-issue, as only an idiot would think that the official in charge of sounding the final hooter would be using the same clock that we were all looking at.

And then walking back to the car, the amount of Hull KR fans claiming to have been robbed was unbelievable!

Despite all of that, I though you played well today, and definitely deserved at least a draw. I thought Paea, Mika and Hall were very impressive. But to claim that we cheated in any way, or that you were robbed, is absolute nonsense.

I agree with u all in all thought it was an evenly played game like in all games of rugby sum decisions can be a bit bizarre and Thaler ain't a favourite at KR I thought a draw was a fair result Cos at 14 nil down u shud ave ad the game in the bag, I thought our forwards matched urs easily and maybe with our halfbacks it wud ave bin a different story, none the less was a grt entertaining game of rugby wud ave bin a corker bin the sky game.

While I don't disagree with much of your post I must wish you luck in finding that mythical rugby league club which doesn't have a number of one eyed fans among it's support.
I would advise against beginning your quest in St Helens.

The time on the clock is kept by the OFFICIAL timekeeper, When it hits zero at every home game the hooter sounds.

The timekeeper at HKR is a big Rovers fan and that certain fact

Yay!

You've brought your incomprehensible posts over here. You are most welcome.

As to the OP, it's a pantomime, you shout for things for your team, you try to influence the referee. When you look back at the game or even at the time, you know you're wrong, it's just part of being in a crowd.

I really cannot believe I have to explain this.

I thought the Ref was deserved of the jeers, did very everything to keep Saints in it including ignoring forward passes for 2 tries, the players offside from the last dropout and what the hell was that scrum awarded for?

Poor, I enjoyed winding up the Saints fans walking to the car, unhappy with just one point, your fans arrived expecting to win, glad we gave you a game.

I agree mate, every team, Saints included ,have their fair share of biased individuals.
I just felt that the reaction from your fans at the end was incredibly uncalled for.

I agree with the bit about trying to influence the ref,etc. But the game was over and yet a large number of your fans were of the opinion that you were in some way robbed, which wasn't the case.

Saints bus, the Yellow one - fly tipping his rubbish over the fence. Mucky.

Was that to make a seat spare for Thaler?
