[QUOTE="LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan), post: 875453, member: 70842"] Personally i think Lacey is a shite ref and always dread having him in europe and not sure how in the world he is coaching at Pro 14 level. Their seems to be a thing in rugby the Supporters can bad mouth the ref but the coaches can't say anything publicly. But Why not? Not like the ref can get banned for getting big calls wrong is it. I can understand if it was a witch hunt against one ref in particular by a coach but he is criticising pretty much the whole league. It's a job no one wants but that's still no excuse to be **** at it. Cockers hasn't blamed the refs for their loses, he has said that the team needs to beat the teams regardless of the ref. Lose lose situation, team is losing can't make the comments because it will be deemed sour grapes BUT if team is winning you won't complain on the whole becuase your winning or if you do people just say well you won so STFU. I might be biased [SIZE=1](Which of course i am)[/SIZE] but I side with cockers maybe he shouldn't be so blunt but he has been pretty quiet on the refs since his ban so he must be seriously ******. (Part of me wonders if he is doing this in part to take pressure of the players or try and make a the whole league is against so show them mentality). Having watched Pro 14 for the first time (seriously) they play great rugby but my god the officiating can be dire. [/QUOTE]
