Did anyone else feel that Matt Carley's first 20 minutes or so were rather dominated by "gotcha" penalties, a few of which were rather doubtful calls? I thought the first scrum penalty against Sale was dubious as was, to my mind, the first line out penalty against Wood for contact in the air. i also thought the two "no-arm-tackle" penalties against first Wood and then Ma'afu were pretty tough.
No agenda here, by the way, just inquiring as to others' thoughts on what seemed an unusually agitated passage of refereeing from someone who is usually rather calm (perhaps he was unsettled by the pre kick-off argument about which end Sale had chosen?).
On a separate note, for those unfortunate enough to see the itv sport feed, surely the most inane commentary ever. I'm interested by this chap Matt Foden who the commentator kept referring to - looks a good prospect.
