We have been assured by (referee's boss) Robert Finch there is no ill feeling between the referee and us, and we can only take him at his word.

We didn't think anything of it. Then, all of a sudden a boss called out and said 'follow us' and we started running.

Bob's been so much more than a boss to us. He's been a friend, a father, a confidante and a counselor.

We've got a strong group of referees who constantly push each other to be at their best so it's a tribute to Tim's ability that he has earned the appointment ahead of all others.

It was obstruction, end of story. Obstruction is not black and white but there's clear guidelines that have been set down and each incident needs to be looked at on its merits.

We don't want a busybody government - a boss - that butts into our lives every chance it gets to tell us how to work, how to play, where to live and on and on.
