Absolutely correct.

I think the player involved in both was Danny Ward.

Instead of getting to his feet, he took to crawling along the floor in an attempt to get a penalty.

He did this, and got away with it, on any number of occasions on Saturday.

In regards to Fieldens raised knee, well he has seemed to have got into a habit of 'stamping' his way in tackles. He is much more effective when he runs direct.

The one thin that really annoyed me about Sat's performance is the lack of running onto the ball at pace. Feka was the only one doing it the whole game. If Fielden, Coley et al did it a bit more often we'd make a hell of a lot more yards...

Agreed. Fielden can bounce off tackles till he's blue in the face but he isn't making us anymore yards. If he's going to do that at least try and get the offload away otherwise he's just wasting energy.

He did on Saturday and no f*cker bothered to take it off him

They did. 5 matches for a high tackle is probably the highest punishment for this offence that they have given for years (and quite rightly too as it was a bad one).

There is no issue with sending letters to players, and it helps to then throw a ban at them if they continue.

That was so annoying to see. Fielden was looking around for what seemed an eternity for someone to take the ball in an offload and not one player came for it.

Watch it again.

I was of the same opinion until I did.

Riddell got there but it would have been almost impossible for Fielden to get an accurate pass out.

Eveytime he handed/ bumped a player off another one was straight on him.

Been saying for a number of years that I would penalise the player in possession more at the PTB for various reasons.

Kicking out, throwing the ball back,Crawling on their knees and most infuriatling of all "Walking off the mark"

I spotted this 2 mins into the game.

Spoke to a friend of mine (Aussie Ref who is likely to get some games over here soon, he's currently reffing NL1) and he agreed that walking off the mark is becoming more prevelant.

I agree. Unfortunately the way our game is reffed at the moment the attacking player is almost always going to get the penalty in these situations. Unless there was a complete turn around from the refs on the way the game is viewed (quick ptb at all costs) then this is always going to be the case.
