Any views on the ref yesterday, having the benefit of TV & a lack of bias?

He wasn"t biased - he was equally useless to both sides, frustrating to watch

My various comments yesterday were slightly tongue in cheek, I don"t believe any ref in Premiership Rugby is biased, but I do believe this particular ref is terrible.... and we have "history"
btw the bias referred to above was my bias - I am interested in the nuetrals" view. James Downey"s Yellow in particular seemed harsh.
duke3016:
If I recall the ref was trying hard to be a ref and failing miserably. Downey"s yellow was marginal in the extreme but part of a growing trend to help the attacking sides in goal line situations when the scrums are becoming unmanagable. (however Manoa did deserve his)
TightEnd:
Saw nothing biased about the ref at all, picky on both sides
In general, the current scrum laws are a significant blot on the game. Takes a lot of time out of the 80 minutes and I am convinced no refereee I see has a clue, particularly when it comes to deciding how to award penalties

POKER ASPIRATIONS FOR 2012.
Play more
Play some big online events (e.g. Sunday Million, Sunday Warm-Up etc)
Play a DTD Monthly Deepstack
Play a Chezger Live Deepstack (nudge nudge, hint hint)
Improve upon 7th Place in an APAT Main Event (Hold "em)
Win Something
In the very short-term these aspirations are hampered by the current massive renovation project taking place in my house which has taken ALL of my money with still a 5K bill to be settled with the builders plus not inexpensive things like carpets, sofas and dining table / chairs still to be purchased. Some of these can be acquired via deferred payment options either with or without a 15 month interest free credit card, but some require paying for now.
Other than that the building work has left me without a telephone line and therefore no broadband. I"m very keen to get this sorted in the next week so I can play some online.
Outside of Poker, I really want to get myself into a better employment situation but ideally without changing my employer and lose 2 stone (more on that later).
All the best in 2012 everyone
