Referees in sport should use the rules to run meetings not make them. The big issue with the Redcar management is that when the same thing happened at a home meeting v Glasgow with almost exactly the same score, Glasgow were awarded the meeting. When Redcar could have mathematically come back and won. On that Basis Redcar should have had the Birmingham meeting awarded. So why the double standards? The referee that night was, head honcho, Scottish referee Jim McGregor. Are you telling me referees have lots of influence ????

No I will say that Jim McGregor argued against the decision that night, saying it should have been rerun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McGregor made no argument on that night he simply rang the SCB chair for advice whilst never more than two feet away from the Glasgow management who stuck to him like glue. He did say the rule was it SHOULD be rerun . But that’s all in the past now and we are all best of friends, honestly ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem with making that decision, and braking their own rules, it set a precedent (just to please the Glasgow management) that now comes back to haunt them. Even in the recent statement they told a pack of lies which the Redcar management knew was untrue. That it was awarded because the result was beyond doubt and Glasgow would have won. Not true!!! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
