Very disappointed to read this less than constructive criticism. I admit I have a vested interest, but I firmly believe that we all should contribute to improving the standard of our referees.

Unfortunately y we have insufficient Advisors/Coaches to be with every relatively inexperienced ref. However we can all benefit from "constructive feedback" at the right time and at the right place.

I just wonder how many Abertillery Supporters take the time to have a sensible discussion with the referee after the game. From first hand experience I suspect that there are not many.

Go on, we do not bite, this coming Saturday go and speak to Keith England, I can guarantee that he will remember the conversation the next time he visits Aber.and another certainty, he will be back.

I reckon the ref was inexperienced and just lost it a bit on Saturday at times - there were some seemingly very poor decisions most of which did seem to go against us which was somewhat surprising/unusual in the usual scheme of things since we dominated the game almost totally. Then again I did see some stats once that refs do favour - subconciously I'm sure - sides that are losing heavily. Trouble was on Saturday we were only in the first twenty minutes and 5-3 up when the penalty count against us was 10-1. Whatever, I will look froward to welconomng Mr Eavns back to teh Park when I'm sure he will have a better game and chat to him (in Welsh) and buy a pint!, (NT) -- Dai, 20:51:03 01/09/06 Mon
Re: Refection -- Dodgers, 10:12:48 01/10/06 Tue
- Excellent to have an experienced player's view on this and explained in such an erudite fashion. On the whole, I think that our players (and Dodgers when called on in particular) have tried to develop a friendly rapport with the official which helps the team and also the referees who are doing difficult jobs in what is a complicated game law-wise. On a different note, the support has been great and we can make a difference as evidenced by Dodgers' message. So get your Auntie and her cat and dog down there on Saturday for the Ynysddu game. And a friend, if you got one (no need for the Sec there then..;-) (NT) -- Dai, 11:13:13 01/10/06 Tue
