The pass looked forward to me but even if it was, like HL says, you cant go to the screen for those. I think my commentary is much better anyway.

I have watched it again on the tv and I too think it was forward, but swings and roundabouts. Your second try (forgot the guys name) was about 5 yards offside at the kick then he took the ball off of Shad, but the ref didnt ask the video ref to look at that. Fair play.

Comes and goes, i wont criticise the ref, he did ok for me. Ill agree about Royston, a class player.

Fair play.

That is a Halifax RLFC director who puts his heart & soul ( and probably more than that ) into the club he's always supported. This club has got a hell of a lot depending on us reaching/winning the GF as most other clubs have, why shouldn't he feel the elation of reaching the GF ? I don't ever remember him whinging in defeat, unlike your chairman & coach, I know him personally & have worked closely with him in my role at the club and quite frankly find your attack on him unacceptable and unnecessary, you're clutching at straws.

So it's acceptable to stick two fingers up at the crowd?

If I had done that back I'd have probably been thrown out. As a person who has been a match official in Championship games, I find the behaviour appalling. Find my attack unacceptable if you like, but it's the truth.

I didn't realise feeling elation warranted offensive gestures toward away supporters. I don't care who he is he could be the bleedin Pope, the man is a muppet.

i second that.

get off Bill Arthurs' back - he's a good lad - I know him well enough to know that he will admit to not being the brightest spark when it comes to RL know how but in his words "i'm learning as I go along" - so give the guy a break !
The thursday night games have been great entertainment this season with him and the 'gruesome twosome ' in tow so here's to next season...

sorry Bill
