Watched the Glos/Bath game back last night and I've got to say, I though Wrigglesworth was spot on with the cards. Yes he got Tindal insteal of May for one of them, bit both players were slowing the ball down and in the case of a yellow for an offence like that I've always thought it is more about punnishing the team rather than the individual. All the others were spot on though. I think we've got a bit used to refs giving multiple warnings but being scared to act upon them once warnings are given. What we saw yesterday was a ref giving warnings over repeat offenses and then being consistent in acting upon them.
As for Tavis Knoyle, what an idiot. I doubt he'll play again this season, I can't see any defense for running after an opposition player and nutting them as they're turning away.
Not meaning this as a dig at and Glos fans here (who don't reflect anything I'm about to say) but has anyone else noticed a lot of negative vibes coming out of the club this season? When I can't watch a game I usually follow it on Twitter and I've noticed that the whoever runs the Glos social media operation has absolutly no qualms in questioning the ref during the game. Other clubs usually keep their live feeds fairly impartial when refering to descisions that go against them but not so Glos. Both during the game and afterwards I've seen the official club account post critisism of the ref freely. Maybe its only a small thing but when you looks back at that after the on pitch madness, bottle throwing, booing and rubbish spouted by fans on Shed Web seems as if there is a real nagetivity hovering around the club.
On a completely unrelated note, when will Wasps sign enough backs to give them a decent second team?
