Would the ref go before a review board of refs and given a bollocking - also given points as to their handling the game? Just asking.

That decision re the penalty could have changed the game - thought Roddy was too honest and not laid down. and got a penalty. This obviously made the a difference to the refs decision. What do you think?

Not sure how the refs are assessed; you'd hope that, given the riches at stake, every game would be scrutinised and crap performances resulting in slapped wrists,warnings or demotion.

Your last point, BBB, about Rods not staying down.......I'd be amazed if it hadn't been given if he'd been on the other side. Surely contact - and enough contact to bring another player down - is contact, regardless of whether he stays down or gets up - especially in the soddin' penalty area? !!
