Seeing lots of comments in Facebook about owens performance today. Strikes me as proper sour grapes given how England were dismantled. Let's be clear... This isn't a shit reffing decision that properly cost a game (ie Scotland against Australia rwc semi final).... England were taken apart today and comprehensively so.

It's not sour grapes to question a refs performance whilst acknowledging we were 2nd best, your strawman crowing is very telling tho.
We lost, most of us will take it on the chin, but you trying to engineer some kind of England supporter "whaa" complex is proper sad.
Read the tone of the thread ffs, we're having a laugh and you're acting the dick

It's sour grapes to blame the ref for the defeat. And that's the tone of many of the posts I've read. Which are on Facebook. Not here. Did you miss that part?It's not sour grapes to question a refs performance whilst acknowledging we were 2nd best, your strawman crowing is very telling tho.

You keep replying so obviously you do. And who made you spokesperson all of a sudden? You seem to be speaking for everybody all of a sudden. Was there an election for this position? Must've missed that one.

Thing is, we have the right to question reffing performances. More than any game in the world the ref's interpretation can have a material impact on the outcome. I wasn't watching Nigel's performance in a critical way as I was too busy enjoying the outcome. However, he has form for reffing according to his preconceptions. Shit ref performance is a shit ref performance.It's not sour grapes to question a refs performance whilst acknowledging we were 2nd best, your strawman crowing is very telling tho.

Dude, I'm saying that Jackson had a pretty material impact on the outcome of our game. As I say, I wasn't watching Nige's performance with any kind of critical eye but I can well believe he was not 100% and that England may have a reason to feel aggrieved. This is the problem: refs can decide outcomes.

I’m impressed at Sasaferrato’s lack of crowing.
Come on geezer, you’ve been waiting 10 fucking years for this!

I hear that. The end of the day though we're debating about what is a subjective opinion of how a game could've turned out if a decision or decisions hadn't gone against us.
What I'm suggesting is that reffing decisions like the one taken against Scotland in the rwc semis were far more clear cut and evidently cost a match in that case.
And in this English match today-it was obvious that even if they had the rub of the green with some of those decision that wouldn't have affected the outcome.
Which is why I'm baffled at some of the comments I'm reading from some English fans on Facebook

I'm glad Scotland won, and yes, we've been waiting a while. England's day will come again though, it always does.
We are actually beginning to look like a rugby team that may go far, hopefully not peaking before the WRC though.

Right. Just been speaking to a mate who's a ref.
White 4 (Joe Launchbury) was holding onto the ball in the ruck whilst he was on the ground. That slowed down things down and (possibly) enabled the player who eventually intercepted the pass to read the play better. He should have let the ball go as soon as he went to ground. However, he got off the ball as soon as Owens told him too and Owens let the play proceed, only calling the player back after he was through.
My mate reckons it was a mistake by the ref, but he's England through and through.
50/50 apparently, depending on who you support

That's interesting ta. I understand the decision process now. Argument I guess would be that a ref who does that kind of thing is wanting things to flow by not being over-officious, but he has to call it back if the offence led to the interception.Right. Just been speaking to a mate who's a ref.

And it was a good flowing game, tbf. Maybe Owens isn't a good ref for England's style of play.

You can't beat Wales at Rugby, you can only score more points than them.if the Welsh didn’t whine about the ref after a loss the sun would rise in the west the next day.

You beat us without doubt. Bossed us up front and won the gainline.
However, the refereeing contributed significantly to your continuity of possession, which contributed to your win. Don't see anything particularly controversial in that.

When a game is reasonably close in score and the refereeing calls are generous to the winning team it’s fair enough for supporters of the losing team to complain about the refereeing. Even if the winning team was on top. After all lots of teams that have seemingly had the better of a game manage to lose it anyway.
