Leicester - Toulouse

[Pastorius]

OH MY GOD WHAT A RETARD OF A REFEREE.

Seriously, he's meant to be trained to spot players breaking the laws of the game. That pass went at least a metre forward, and he spotted NOTHING. That lead to Leicester being on the back foot, and Toulouse taking the game. With ANOTHER FORWARD PASS they took another try. Sort it out referee. I just wish they could be fined for making horrible decisions.

In the interview after the game Martin Johnson said he asked the referee why he didn't give the forward pass and "he [the referee] just gave me a vacant look".

Worst.Referee.Performance.Ever.

He screwed us over big time. Not pleased.

[Pastorius]

That's what was so danm annoying! There was so much riding on that game and the referee completely screwed up! Johnson, Back, and Wells are now leaving without the Heineken Cup they could easily have won for the last time. I'm so mad with that ref.

Toulouse won fair and square and were the better team.

The amount of forward passes that teams from all countries get away with nowadays is down to the factthat the game is so fast paced. ref's can't keep up and be in line. Advantage to the attacking team I'm afraid.

Toulouse were by far the better team. They had the penetration in the backs. The first pass was marginal, the second was a mile forward and neither the ref or the touch judge spotted it.
