Matthews has gotten away with murder there, for me. Both lays a late and very aggressive hit on a QB going out of bounds and then (despite Staley initiating the confrontation) takes shots at Staley's head.

49ers go in on the next play, though, so hey ho.
 
Nice little scrum in San Francisco, shoudl've been two unsportsmanship conducts right there that offset so that Matthews personal foul still stood. But hey, still a TD fr the 49'ers

Its disappointing because it allowed the 49ers to get the TD, whereas they could only have gone for the FG and led by 3. It makes a big difference as they get close to HT.
 
I'm going to try and drum up some support for this board during the week, pm the guys on the teams list etc;

If any of you chaps know anyone, who is a big NFL fan try to point them in this direction if you could, thanks;)
 
Well, with a rulebook as thick as the Lord of the Rings, I can't help but understand the officials sometimes mixing them up a bit.

Yeah, I can understand. Its just a little disappointing. If it was a Football (soccer) ref I would be going ape **** right now. But these guys usually do a wonderful job.

I'd say check the 'who do you support' thread and get all the names from there, should be plenty in there. Other than that, I don't know anyone who thinks this is not sissy rugby...

I think the replacement ref scandal at the start of last year showed how vital proper refs are.
 
It's funny you saying that Cove, here is a quote from one of the guys on a Tampa Bay forum in the States I go on...

That what went through my head when it was relayed about the mistake. It still give me nightmares as a packers fan especially after the seahawks incident!!!
