I think subbies need to look at their grading processes how did they sanction Beecroft ending up in 4th div?
Via the law of "Fuck The Smaller Clubs" that they seem to employ for everything else. Muppets.
Got the story about the Renegades v Irish game - going from my patchy memory:
Try by Irish was under advantage, but the bloke apparently knocked it on, so the ref went back for the penalty. Irish kicked it, but somehow it was given as a conversion. Bit of confusion there.
Renegades got three yellow cards:
- one for a winger being offside (team was on a warning)
- one when a player was tackled, but the Irish tackler wouldn't release, so in the act of trying to free his arms he apparently elbowed someone
- one when the Renegades captain asked for a bit of consistency in the refereeing early in the second half - ref starts yelling "are you calling me a cheat?" and then cards him.
Once the guy stopped to tie his boots, ref lost his rag, started yelling and swearing about "I don't need to come all the way out here for this bullshit!" and walks away.
Touch Judge shrugged.
Both parties agree no niggle no bullshit going on. Ref just lost it.
Rouse Hill will put in a request they never get that ref again.
Irish will put in a request to get the result looked at. Not sure if they have a case, given that they were three men up and still couldn't take advantage. Rouse Hill would have been back to full strength within a few minutes of the stoppage, with 25 minutes to go.
