I, & several others by me, thought we got every 50/50 call today.



Best team definitely lost for mine but you can't knock our desire & determination to win the match in that last 10 minutes when more than just a few were completely out on their feet.



If I were a Cas fan I'd feel robbed but that's the way it goes sometimes.

It wasn't about him getting his name wrong, it was about calling him 'that winger' which comes across as very disrespectful to a fellow professional me, intentional or not. Putting 'their' or 'the' would not have resulted in the same backlash IMO. Perhaps he will think before typing in future.



Though some of the abuse was over the top, and that's only what I saw.

Quote ="Cragganmore Kid"Some Saints fans felt it was deliberately disrespectful to Foster. Summat and nowt, ">really.'" The kind of things the Saints fans were saying to Mathers, though, were really embarrassing. They were spitting tweets at the bloke. It took Jamie Foster intervening to stop the bile. Embarrassing. I hope it doesn't put the Saints players off tweeting as I've really enjoyed following Wello's banter with Foster. Those two are hilarious sometimes. Poor ole Mathers just forgot Foster's name.

I didn't see much of what Saints fans responded with, other than the odd one he retweeted where he'd been called a w***er but that's no doubt because I haven't really worked out how Twitter works!! I thought it was disappointing that he seemed to tweet several times about the 'bad calls' they'd had. Our lads, after losing in similar circumstances to the auld enemy, seemed far more gracious in defeat than Mathers and, indeed, Matterson. No call for 'bile' from the speccies though. Maybe there's a lesson to be learned in players steering away from Twitter until the dust has settled after a game.

Does a broken knee class as not "that badly injured"?



I think common sense should always rule, especially when it comes to players safety. If an honest prop forward lies pretty prostrate then I would think the referee should use his commen sense (fairplay we're talking about Bentham here) and stop the game- especially when 4-5 people surround said player for a good 30-40 seconds before Bentham even decided to consider stopping the game.
