Bit of an aside but I remember the days when refs could not officiate matches involving their home town club. I knew John Holdsworth's nephew who told me that he (JH) hated Leeds with a passion but never reffed them because of the home town rule.
Next thing you know he suddenly became Mr Holdsworth of "Kippax" and made us suffer accordingly.

Could be down to the fact he was a south Leeds boy . Possibly belle isle school, plus belle isle, hunslet and Middleton areas weren’t exactly lovers of Leeds . The allegiance would be to hunslet.

I don't think refs are biased against particular teams from the get go, but it can sometimes appear that way if they have an issue with a particular facet of the game e.g. laying on at the PTB. Some teams do it more than others and will get pinged more. A couple of NRL clubs who have had issues with individual refs have gone public and announcing that they are looking to meet with a particular ref to discuss 'interpretations'. What its probably more about is putting a bit of public pressure on a ref they perceive to be inherently more likely to penalise them without overtly accusing them of bias. Does it work? Dunno.

Refs are doing a professional job they’re paid for. Their focus would primarily be on getting decisions right on the field. When you do that job every week the club allegiance thing becomes irrelevant. Incompetence is another thing.

I am not so sure about that. I think a few comments of late from that idiot Silverwood highlight a few things thought at the time. Silverwood at one point was one of our best, he was also good with us. Then something started to change, and players certainly had a thing against him, and he came up with terrible decisions against us for quite a while.

The comments seen last few weeks seem to explain a lot of that. And those errors were not honest mistakes.

I'm not saying a ref can't take against a club if there's a fall out or bad blood. If players are constantly questioning his integrity or whatever and the club is whining in public (which used to happen quite a bit in the old days), some refs will take the petulant route and be determined to show who is in authority. I'm not sure that's the same thing as wearing a particular club's pants under your shorts though.

IIRC wasnt there an issue with Senior and Silverwood? Did Senior mention it in his book?

Senior, Smith, Ablett. All of them had issues with him. And that childish thing Silverwood did as soon as Smith was back in the game the other week was just silly. Then he starts with messages about Leeds having the best ground in the Championship next year. The guy is a fruitcake with a grudge.
