GAME THREAD: Devils v Steelers: CUP: Sun 3rd Nov

[stans lad]

Incidents like this will keep happening whilst the referees miss or decide to "not call" the initial penalty and only call the retaliation afterwards.
If what is alluded to in the previous posts regarding Saucerman and Shudra, someone has to police it, so if it's not going to be the referees I can fully understand why the players feel they have to do it themselves.

Shame it weren't Tansey but the problem is, because they missed the call we ended up on the receiving end as we lost Sauce & Shudra.

Something with the officials need to be done otherwise chaos with start.

With 4 x DOPS incidents just in the first 4 days (2 suspensions and 2 fines) in November, with probably Shudra's making 5, it's been a busy start to the month with supplementary disciplines!

Whilst I didn't see the Watling incident, that doesn't seem to be on DOPS radar?

Wonder if Fox will go for a hockey policeman? If teams have worked out that a few cheap shot put us off our game, I wonder if this trend will continue?

As for this game, I'm no too worried about a loss in the CC, especially when Cardiff really needed to win this game. We've already qualified and whilst it would have been nice to have been number one overall seed, it was always going to be unlikely with Belfast having the easy group of games.

Not a chance in hell in my opinion, he has stated many times not only does he hate that roll in other teams, he would never fill that role in his own team to negate the threat... stating it would be wasting a slot...

I agree Jay, just wishful thinking on my part

I see in twitter or X(to me it will always be Twitter) a Cardiff fan says we have all the referees on our pay roll and we are bullies. She wants to look at some of the decisions made this weekend alone against us and other teams have walked away no penalties called against them .

[southernsteeler]

On a slightly different topic (but same game), it seems Cardiff have a block now with stone island wearing, tattoo'd 'fans' that are allowed to bring in megaphones/loudhailers....

I'm guessing there was no local football games on!

Do not judge a fanbase on the comments of one individual, we all have our share of idiots.

No excuse for Shudra’s behaviour and I sure there will be a suspension and fine, but there were a few incidents in the Saturday game when he kept a cool head. I guess, like most of us, it takes just one thing before we snap.
I seem to remember he has a history of going after players who take liberties team mates. Didn’t he receive a lengthy ban for leaving the bench in Milton Keynes to attend to Brendan Connolly?
