I'll have to watch it back and see what happened, but at the time I could understand Bradford fans annoyance. Similar to mine when Jackson assaulted RR a bit later in a clear retaliation for their collision on the touch line a few minutes earlier. Clearest booking you'll see for Jackson but ref was baffling. In all fairness, reckon he was chuckling at getting to stay warm in his coat and trackies.. then.. damn it.. Quote

Watched that challenge on RR again, the ref clearly points to the earlier incident saying it was retaliation. The earlier challenge must have hurt as RR stood him but it certainly looked accidental.

Yes, at the time I commented that the ref pointed towards the first challenge, which makes it even worse reffing for me, was he saying I saw you decided to foul him badly but I'll let it go because you were just retaliating? Incredible, could have properly injured RR. Quote

Incredible, could have properly injured RR. I was watching on tv (obviously), ref definitely pointed back to the previous incident and it seemed clear he was letting him away with that one in retaliation, which is a strange decision, but was telling him he'd book him if he did it again. I'm surprised that the clear elbow from the fat bog eyed Manc twat on ACD hasn't been mentioned or the time just before that when he skipped free because the Bradford player was more interested in fouling him than going for the ball Quote
Burndens Bogs Posted May 11 Posted May 11 The Ref for Thursday night is Yorkshireman Tom Kirk. He last refereed one of our games v Birmingham in our 3-1 home win last season. He's plenty of Championship experience and has reffed a few Prem games. Heres hoping he's decent. Quote

How can a Yorkshire man ref this game ffs. We know they stick together them Yorkie bars Quote

Eddie Posted May 11 Posted May 11 4 minutes ago, RUREADY2ROLL said: How can a Yorkshire man ref this game ffs. We know they stick together them Yorkie bars To be fair, it’s like saying how can a lad from Lancashire / Greater Manchester ref the game (due to bias towards us) - he could be a Wigan fan and therefore hate us. This lad could be a massive Leeds fan - he wouldn’t be helping Bradford out! In reality, I doubt there’s any risk whatsoever, I’m just hopeful he’s of a higher quality than the usual shite considering he’s reffed higher up the leagues. Quote

Aye It's like someone from down south being worried Mike Dean was reffing because they think folk from Lancashire stick together Whilst we all know Tranmere hate us and neither of us are in Lancashire Quote

gonzo Posted May 11 Posted May 11 Bit like us really Bradford with no proper tradition rival. Think they hate Leeds but Leeds don't give a toss. Quote

Yes I think it’s a bit similar to ourselves with Wigan who none of us consider as equals and I’m sure it’s much the same for Huddersfield and Leeds with Bradford although to be fair to the Bantams they could claim to have a bigger fan base than Huddersfield nowadays which of course the Pie Eaters will never have over us.

TroySwoosh Posted May 11 Posted May 11 we've played these fuckers 4 times this season and they've scored 1 goal against us, score first and we'll be reet Quote
Lostock Whites Posted May 11 Posted May 11 (edited) 40 minutes ago, TroySwoosh said: we've played these fuckers 4 times this season and they've scored 1 goal against us, score first and we'll be reet Exactly. They can play as good as they want and keep saying how Valley Parade is like the Maracana or something. But in reality, we have played them 4 times and been better than them in every single matchup. Even more importantly, we went there a few weeks ago when it was packed out and not only did we manage it well, but I felt their fans were incredibly quiet, like their away fans as well. As said before, we play in front of bigger and louder crowds (my personal opinion) every home game. We lose this game if we take our eye of the ball and capitulate. Which despite all of this still strikes an ungodly amount of nerves to my soul. But to our players, nothing to fear, we're better than them but we've got to work as hard like we did on Saturday. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. Can we just forward to Thursday night now? The wait is killing me. Edited May 11 by Lostock Whites Quote
