Ah, Billy Thompson - if you ever wanted an unbiased opinion on all matters concerning Leeds you could always rely on Billy not to provide it, even when he was out in the middle...

Sadly, yes.
Back in the days before referees had to be able to do things like keep up with the game, when knock ons and forward passes were commonly "seen" and used as an excuse to stop the game for a minute. |

| Quote DoubleAone="DoubleAone"Very dissapointing in fact
First off the initial commentators are totally inaccurate describing it as a "late tackle" .. what a laugh it coudnt be late. Tomkons caught the ball Ablett was perfectly entitled to tackle him.
The old ref isnt any better describing it as an "elbow to the face" again totally inaccurate.
Ganson was perfectly correct in putting it on report and the charge which was also correct as it was a reckless tackle and the forearm came in contact with the head but not deliberate and without malice.
Grow up son you really must do better 3/10'"
Good points and probably fair result. |

Billy Thompson has two claims to fame.
1) Being hoodwinked by Alex Murphy into sending Syd Hynes off in the '71 Challenge Cup final and making history in doing so
and even worse IIRC
2) Pulling GB up for a non existent obstruction that cost Steve Pitchford a try in the World Cup Final in Sydney 1977. A game Australia won 13 - 12

My favourite for that was a game away at Oldham. A long break was made, from one twenty metre area to the other, and resluted in ascrum for some reason. It was formed and fed very quickly, but John Holdsworth made them do it again for some non-existant reason, as he was blowing like a steam train from the run back. |
