I love how the Brumbies fans were saying in the lead up that the game was as good as lost with Walsh at the helm.
Now that the reds lost and the fans are dirty with a clearly dud decision (just the non carding of Moore) we're getting ragged on for bagging the ref. ;-)

I think you have every right to be annoyed with the non yellow card and won't rag on anyone bagging the ref for that reason. It the roles were reversed and it was one of the Brumbies players on the receiving end of the punch I'm pretty sure we'd all be doing the same thing.
The ones that are annoying me are the ones saying he should have just awarded the try anyway, and that the disallowed try is the reason the Reds lost. I know it isn't all Reds fans saying this. But there have been some very vocal ones claiming that the try should have been awarded, and simply won't accept the reasoning for it not being so.
I will admit, I was shattered when I heard Walsh had this game. But thought that all things considered he didn't do too bad a job (obvious errors aside). I was actually impressed with the way he communicated to the players. In the past he has just blown his whistle and told the players to go away, refusing to speak to them if they questioned something.
Its a good thing both teams have a bye this week (although that screws my Fantasy team!) because they both need about a week to work on ball retention alone! Terrible handling cost both teams but I think it effected the Reds scoreline more than the Brumbies.
