Snipe I'm not the one beating the dead horse I have been consistent and consistently right !!!!!!

Graces got it right this time as did the panel what the panel could not reverse the decision of a referee it can augment but not reverse
So the fact that the committee made it clear that it should have been a red card was their way of backing the ref.......

Even better, wash the diazepam down with the Bush and float around in another world for a while

Then he'll just end up like rumn :lol:
It's the hope that kills you.

I suspect you may be wasting your time Snipe if you are going to use logic. Rum'n wouldn't know a dead horse if he saw it jumping over the moon in ghost form with wings like young Icarus but stone daedalus.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

The committee didn't say the Graces was wrong it is seldom wrong to be lenient and the panel had the opportunity to reinforce the decision rather than lack the ability to reverse the decision and it's effects .


There are those who easily forget that the effect of the early red card was that Ulster played 78 minutes with 14 men which could have been the reason for injuries to at least 3 or 4 players .

I have a consistent opponent of use of cards by referees for everything except deliberate dangerous or violent conduct or play .

The game of rugby is a fast contact sport where accidents occur due to mistiming rather than intention .
Yes frequently there an intention to rattle your opponent mistime the tackle it looks much worse .

Russ if you can assure me every referee will get 90% of the his decisions right and every referee will make the same decision I would agree with you .

But given the number one complaint about referees is inconsistency the fewer cardings the better and only for the worst offences with yellow the card of preference and the player given the benefit of the doubt
