Watching the first hour of the selwyn nomads game yesterday, not only was it interesting to see a (known) nomads member to be reffing the game, but also found it amusing how for the 60 minutes nomads were throwing late tackles, tackles from behind, tackles with no intent to win the ball on the selwyn players and as soon as a selwyn player talked back after giving away a free kick, he was booked. Would love officials to have a think and be a little realistic as to why these comments are made by individuals after watching team mates get kicked all game. Not for one second am i suggesting nomads won the game because the ref was one of their own but mainland should really be looking into their appointments for these important games.
On another note good to hear comments about the AR on one side, who was more interested in telling spectators to F-off rather than keep an eye on the game in case he could help the referee and give his insight into some of the "fair" tackles going on in the game as it is his job to. Im sure he would have been able to help had he heard a selwyn player make a remark about their performance.
