gatland bringing game into disripute?
First topic message reminder :
Gatland is publicly moaning amount ref decisions and seems to be suggesting that was the cause of the Wales defeat. Should he face a fine for his comments? I personally think they are deluded. For one it wasn't a forward pass. Also Wales benefited from decisions. For example Phillips should have been red carded. Gatland spends alot of time bigging up Wales and finds it impossible to accept they were beaten fair and square. Make no bones about it Wales were played off the pitch. They lost because Australia are better.

You found and an excuse and you're going to grind on about that till kingdom come . Accept the loss and move on . Why arent you complaining that Mike Philips didnt see red for his blatant stamp on Coopers hand?maestegmafia wrote:He said about the TMO before that when he was talking to Rolland.Rory_Gallagher wrote:"I can see it on the big screen, and it's not clear and obvious so I'm going to award the try".
That is what he said, before blowing his whistle. I am not sure what referee you were listening to, but that is what Barnes said.
Unbelievable a referee of his calibre thought from the replays that that pass which went forward and touched the ground was not a knock on...? Rolland said he thought it was a knock on too.

Cooper was superb, the build up to Lealifanu's try Cooper covered the pitch from one 22 to the other diagonally to get that amazing pass out to the winger. Fantastic skills.bedfordwelsh wrote:I think hes right to query it but IMO we would have still lost, Cooper run the show and ripped us to bits.

Re: gatland bringing game into disripute?
SO, as per usual it was not the Wales team fault that Wales lost yesterday.
NO, it was the fault of the referee.
Why, oh why can he ( GATLAND) not accept that Wales lost to a better team, on the day. and that was Australia.

I agree, it is so refreshing to see a player of skill and ideas playing ten rather than conservatively minded clones who lack vision but their performances are apparently baked up by stats...samuraidragon wrote:Frankly it's great to see that kind of creativity at 10 instead of the stodge we get in the NH which is supposedly the modern way.

Re: gatland bringing game into disripute?
No he shouldn't be fined, I don't think giving his view on the game is bringing it into disrepute. That's a bit different to accusing ref's of racism, etc. If what he said about the pass and Barnes is true then he should have refrained from saying as such. However in the post match commentary there is no footage of Gats saying what was written in the BBC article, so I'm wondering if it really is substantial.
In my view the pass clearly went forward, it was travelling over a line imprinted on the field which made it clear. I don't think that was the difference in the game, which was won/lost at the breakdown. I think both yellow's were ridiculous too.

Re: gatland bringing game into disripute?
As a neutral I don't consider that Gatland is bring the game into disrepute; however, he is coming across as a whinger. A better thing to say would be that "It could have been a very different result if a couple of referee's decisions had gone our way". However, he has chosen instead to attack the referee. Stop turning our lovely game into Wendyball. This is the sort of behaviour that befits a football manager. Any rugby coach/manager whatever their team should be flamed for such comments. Losing hurts - get over it man!
Also, I think it shows the lack of strength in depth in certain positions that Wales have. Tight-head prop isn't brilliant without Adam Jones (not that there were many scrums...) and the lack of penetration by the centres show just how much Jamie Roberts and Jonathan Davies are missed.
Whatever the result, it was a cracking game; that said, given that Cooper was at his enigmatic best, it wasn't one that they really DESERVED to win.

Re: gatland bringing game into disripute?
Another one of your ridiculous, anti-welsh comments. I've seen one Welsh fan on here question the ref's decision, which isn't incessant whinging as you describe. Nor is it evidence to suggest that there's a chip on shoulder of welsh fans. If you didn't have it in for Welsh fans so much you'd see this and accept that they're allowed to discuss the match and officials like every other fan is allowed to do so.TJ wrote:this whole tread is evidence of this.

Re: gatland bringing game into disripute?
Desperately close game and Gatland has every right to feel disappointed and express a view that he didn't believe the try should have been awarded. But that's the end of it. If he continues to give interviews banging on about this, then sour grapes will be the inevitable cry.
Gatland is a divisive character and as a generalization I think it is an unavoidable inference that he coached a side to a successful Lions series win whilst not winning any new friends in the home nations in the process. That's actually quite a feat.
It's a matter of personal preference. I just think that you are setting yourself up for criticism if you make a point of saying to the press beforehand that your forwards should dominate and that you believe you'll win. Then again, all Gats can do is answer the questions that he is asked and the press now tend to construe most things that come out of his mouth as antagonistic, regardless of whether that's the intention.

Re: gatland bringing game into disripute?
Just discussing the ravages of injury on another thread. You are right that missing world class players in any position is going to weaken a team from their first choice, but so much more so when there are also three or four injuries behind the first choice forcing selection of fourth or fifth choice players.Mr Bounce wrote:As a neutral I don't consider that Gatland is bring the game into disrepute; however, he is coming across as a whinger.

With that said it is unfair to expect a fourth choice international player that has a couple of caps to be compared to a world class player who usually fills their roll.

That is what he said, before blowing his whistle. I am not sure what referee you were listening to, but that is what Barnes said.
Joe Tomane superbly picked up a low pass one handed off the ground and dived over the line in the corner. Barnes referred the score to the TMO asking if the final pass had been forward. After several replays, the TMO said he had a decision but before he could say what it was Barnes interrupted saying he had seen the replays and they were inconclusive so he was awarding the try.

Your whole attitude towards the Welsh I'm referring to, and because of a handful of posters comments you resent and blame the Welsh, you've been told numerous times. I don't see loads of posters whining about the refs decisions. How can I be one of the worst, all I do is point out the truth which you always disagree with and show off over, and I haven't always insisted the back-to-back champions are the best in the NH. That's an arguement you've made up so you coat-tail other teams and try to run us down. Quite sad.TJ wrote:What anti welsh comments - thee are loads of posters whining about the refs decisions.

Also, you've quoted two well-known WUM posters (sorry GlamAl), and Maes gave a balanced, personal opinion on the scenario. He and alun criticised Barnes' use of the TMO which is fair, some posters are of the opinion he used the TMO correctly, which is fair. Again, I don't see how that is incessant welsh whinging or the 'Welsh' having a chip on their shoulder. If you didn't have it in for the Welsh you wouldn't have moaned and bitched about people having a different opinion to yours.

I dont think they're reprimanded publicly but i do believe they get demoted to less high profile games.

Saint you are ridiculous. You claim I am anti welsh for pointing out the incessant welsh whinging about refs, you claim it doesn't happen - so I give you just a few examples of welsh whinging that disfigures these boards. You did insist the welsh re the best NH team.

Re: gatland bringing game into disripute?
There have been a number of incidents this series where the ref has watched the replay and made the call himself (eg Hartley's innocent attempt to return to an on-side position for England's try vs the Aussies). Think it's a good idea myself - he is the ref after all. And waiting an age for the TMO to make a call is very annoying.
But the ref had no bearing on the result. If the Aussies hadn't mucked up so many opportunities particularly in the 1st half, they'd have been out of sight at half-time. And after 9 wins in the last 9 games I think there are few thing more certain in the world than Aus currently have the beating of Wales.

If the ref is confident enough to make the decision himself then he should.
Owens was commended for doing this several times last week.
You want the refs to be strong in their convictions and not afraid to make decisions.

Re: gatland bringing game into disripute?
Rugby is a very high scoring game. Its not like football in that respect. when they are close games like many of the ai's they would end up being draws in games like football or test cricket.
If you dont win by a lot- you can allways lose the game.
And i think people need to actually start understanding that and stop blaming the ref for marginal things, because people allways focus on one or two things- yet never ever focus on the other marginal things that went in there favour.

Re: gatland bringing game into disripute?
sounds like a whinge to meAn awful decision by the ref. such a travesty when inaptitude is the basis of the result.
A sad day for rugby

Re: gatland bringing game into disripute?
It's your comments and anti-welsh chip that has long been ridiculous.... In fact, it's gone way beyond that point. You're anti-welsh for constatnly slating us for having an opinion, everyone comments on the ref but as soon as a Welsh poster does it you have a crying, whinge-fit which usually last for a few days. If you didn't have this chip on your shoulder you'd see that two WUM posters don't represent 'Wales' and you'd also see that they have every right to question a TMO decision because they're unsure of it, like I'm still unsure over the forward pass ruling myself. No I didn't, I probably said they have a good case to be deemed best in NH after their back-to-back championships. It's another discussion though so I'm not sure it's relevance on this WUM thread, the same thread from the same poster which appears every time after Wales lose. Where's the slating of this WUM poster TJ, or is it okay because it's slagging off Wales? I should have known!TJ wrote:Saint you are ridiculous.

Re: gatland bringing game into disripute?
you said it was a sad day for rugby- and now you are trying to come back with that being a statement.
yes ok its a statement but one that isn't factual and formed from sour grapes.
Basically its whinging
because the majority of the world do not see it as a sad day for rugby.

Re: gatland bringing game into disripute?
Wales lost because Australia were the better team
Nice to see the anti-Welsh brigade is out in force today though
Still bitter we won the 6N yet again or bitter that we won the Lions tour single handedly

That said, I heard that Nigel Owen's next refereeing commitment after the All Blacks v Springboks in October was something like Aberavon v Cross Keys.

Re: gatland bringing game into disripute?
The worst thing is every Welshman I know apart from me, my father and my brother were cheering on Ireland last week yet every Irishman would have been cheering on the Aussies yesterday. Obviously all the English were as well but thats to be expected. Why the hell Welsh people were cheering on Ireland after all the abuse they gave Gatland and centre Jonathan Davies is beyond me

Re: gatland bringing game into disripute?
Gatland does not bring the Welsh management into disrepute, he unfortunately brings the whole game.
Having said that some of the AV coaches/managers/DoR are no better: Tigers please note.
I wouldn't want to be around Saint at the moment, the smell of day old fat on all them chips would be really off-putting. I wonder if he uses a lot of vinegar, it would explain all the sour posts he makes.
I think he has a list of standard diatribe that he just copies and pastes, all his posts sound the same. Same subject, same whinges, same chips.
He brings the name of "Saint" into disrepute, if you are a Northampton fan.

Great for the Welsh prem to have such a quality referee at a game...

Re: gatland bringing game into disripute?
steffan as more than half the posters on here already told you- we normally root for Wales. as i certainly allways do v SH opposition.
So i have no idea what you are talking about.
And come on show the anti welsh comments.

Re: gatland bringing game into disripute?
One thing Wales can match the Aussies in is whinging when they lose! Maybe they should have a competition for that. Wales might actually beat a SH team then!

This thread, half the comments.mystiroakey wrote:steffan show me one anti welsh post dude?
The thread post SA game.
Most threads after Wales lose a game.
All threads criticising Wales from 2012 AI's to the end of the Lions tour/now. In fact, there were loads of threads whinging about Wales winning games in the 2012 Six Nations.
Take your pick. I never agree with Steffan which you'll note if you analyse the Club forum but he has a point. As do you, because I know some were supporting Wales. I doubt you were though going by some of your past comments.

or do you allways just make up this bs about other posters.
Advice-
Stop whinging and stop judging other posters by your very low standards
