[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 283378"] Not atall happy after last nights game. That touch judge was terrible, he got almost everything wrong, ref not much better. He penalised the Blues for two shoulder chanrges, neither were right calls. Gareth Williams was penalised for running through a player in the way (perfectly legal) and then the Powell incident, total farce! I know the Blues really made it too easy for Sale in that 10minute period, and Sam Warberton and Sowden-Taylor were very nieve in both instances, but that was two tries which probably wouldn't have been scored if Powell was still on the field! Don't get me started about the penalty given against Gethin Jenkins, one of the worst refereeing decisions I've seen in a long time! Then the ref misses a forearm smash on Powell, which easily deserved a yellow. Standards nowhere near where they should be from ref and touch judges in a competition this important. It's possibly cost Blues their chance to qualify for the knockout stages, that's some big mistakes. Sorry for complaining, I'm not a fan of blaiming the officials, however sometimes it's impossible not to. Gotta hope Tolouse slip up at some point now, or the Blues can do the improbable and win away in France. Edit: that injury to Sheridan was hard to watch. Gotta feel for the bloke, he was in absolute agony. Hoping for a quick recovery. [/QUOTE]
