Oh Come on Bradford !!!!!

comment on the article

Hands up any rugby league fan who can genuinly say that their team has never lost a game through a wrong refereeing decision!!!!

Of course they lost the points through a refereeing mistake - but will that be the only occasion that it happens this season ?

It's all blown out of proportion because it happened in the final seconds - if it had happened midway through the first half it would have been forgotten about, like similar decisions week in - week out happen

What makes this game so special?

Bradford talk about Leeds being dignified and handing over the 2 points

Well on this occasion it seems to me that through their embarrassing whinging Bradford's dignity has taken a knock

They had the moral high-ground until they asked for the points back

As a long serving Rhino's fan over the years we have suffered through bad decisions and never once appealed to have the point's (or cups back)
By the way remember last season at bradford, the referee awarded a last minute penalty to Bradford for the Harlequinns player not standing square at the plat the ball, Deacon converted to level the game and share the points, replay clearly show that Bradford player moved 3 steps to the side before playing the ball so the penalty should have gone to Harlequinns, DID BRADFORD GIVE THE 2 POINTS TO THE QUINNS! I THINK NOT

What a load of rubbish. If you really think that Leeds should forfeit points you know nothing about the game.

Week in and week out you see very similar decisions, the only reason this stands out is due to the fact it was in the dying seconds.

What about dirty Newton? The ref or touches did not see that, are they all bent? No, they are not it was just another mistake. Had they seen it Newton would have been sent off after 12 minutes.

Get real and be adult about this Leeds beat Bradford and that is a fact.

It doesn't matter whht sport you watch or follow, the officials are only human and we ALL make mistakes. Sometimes it costs your team, and sometimes it benefits your team. It does usually balance itself out over time! I think people just have to deal with it, move on, and keep quiet when the decision goes with their team! winkeye

What a great example of what people stupidly want in football refs to come on telly and admit errors. It is a dead and like the fascination of club fans as opposed to fans of the sport with moronic devices like the TV referee.

Refs who make blatentley bad mistakes should be sacked. Maybe if their jobs were on the line they would think first.

As for Ganson doh Horse whipping springs to mind

Right Bradford.

Leeds CANT give you the Two Points, thats Just ridiculous.

And dont blame Leeds for it,, Bradford would Have Tried the Same if they Had the Chance, And im soryr but, bradford cant comment on cheating. Terry Newton Cheats enough, but in a differnt way, So Yeah Basically Leave It. Bradford arent perfect so just get Over it tbh.
