Agree with most that the turning point was the kick out on the full but, much as I detest criticising referees, I feel Turley sympathised with Batley at 22-8 and piggy backed them up field with a couple of harsh and very dubious penalty decisions.
No excuses though, Batley finished much stronger and it was a relief to come away with a share of the spoils.

What day , Date and ko time is the Fev game ?I would love to watch this game as it is so important and should be a cracker .

I have it down as Sun` 17th Aug` why don`t you get a bus load to come with you ?

So you go to their games do you ?

If that's aimed at my previous comment Linda, i'll presume it is, and honour it with a reply:


What size bus would you like ?
Aren't there already enough busses parked opposite the stadium in the depot ?
Will there be crowd segregation on the stated date or is all of that stuff considered "in the past & forgotten about now" considering who the opposition are ?
Is there sufficient parking space for the said bus, considering other clubs' supporters have mentioned this topic in recent years ?
Should i stay for the full duration of 80 minutes or leave earlier in the hope of seeing a home win, let's say at around the 75 minutes mark ?

Are you drunk?

I would suggest the post was in response to someone asking when the fev game is and nothing whatsoever to do with anything you posted!

Jeez your paranoid......

If you read the comment immediatly before mine it was Charlie asking for the date of the next game and not a comment on anything you have said at all.

Lets all calm down.
Firstly my take on the referee, I have never criticised a ref on this forum, someone has said he made some bizarre decisions. Well that may be so but not as bizarre as kicking out on the full, failing to pass to a winger on at least two occasions and off loading a ball late on when no need to.
My only suggestion to the ref would be don't become a barber, if you can't tell a shoulder from a head then you are not cutting my hair. (if I had any)
O'h and Batley when things get too tough don't do what is now refereed to as a Sam Barlow, lying down until the opposition have lost their momentum.

My take on the game?
Great first half, some family of clowns early on in this topic have said that they may not come again if Karl is still the coach, or something like that, well as I have said above it wasn't the refs fault and it wasn't Karl's fault.
I bet he was blazing in the changing room after.
Enjoyed the whole game and the whole afternoon, great chat with Bentleyman and Prince Abdullah who may I say is very light skinned for and Arab Billionaire.
He is still thinking about buying the club.
Back to refs and indeed match officials, stand back, give them a break, I was watching Halifaxwilliam on Saturday morning playing for KKP under 10's the ref, in full specsaver regalia was 15 years old obviously wanting to progress in the game. If some of the parents could imagine that he was their son then they would perhaps have behaved a lot better.
Do we really want to put these officials through that?
When I complained to someone next to me the reply was "that's what goes with the territory"
Back to yesterday
For me Rugby League at it's best, yes I went away thinking as bad as had we lost, but hey, it's a game.
Move on.
ps. not on twitter or whatever so can some one pass a message to my mate Luke Ambler. if you are going to score a great try please do it when I am not still in the chip queue. Heard the noise, missed the try and ran out of the queue and missed my chips.



In Fax and Karl I trust.

Back on the thread topic it's not in our hands after this weekend.

Other results from the remaining games of Fax and Fev not included not only do we need to beat Fev but we need to deny them a bonus point as they have a much better points difference and they are 2 points in front.

Sunday was the fifth or sixth time we have lost the game in the last 10 minutes after being in front so no wonder KH is less than happy and we can't afford many more slip ups.

So what your actually saying it IS in our hands. We need to win every game and deny Fev a bonus point.

They also have to go to Leigh..... Don't forget that!

Good game and enjoyed it, felt like a los son the way home.

I did say though that just think where we would be if we had not lost all those silly games like NW Crusaders at home etc. We'd be cruising in 2nd, maybe pushing for 1st.

I still think theres plenty of twists left in this league.

Correct.

Don't forget about Doncaster also.

I thought they drew to Donny a couple of weeks ago

Donny still have to play Sheffield, Workington, Batley and Keighley as well as us. All teams who are fighting to stay in this league. Plenty of twists and turns yet.....

Yes I stand corrected.

I guess what I was saying was there's a big difference in just winning a game that would have taken us 1 point clear than winning by at least 12 against Fev.

The pressure is back on through our own doing and these slip up's that we seemed to have put behind us over the last few games showed itself again in spectacular fashion from being 22 - 8 up with 20 minutes to go to nearly losing the game.

No wonder KH was less than happy after throwing away vital points again.

As many have said a lot will happen before the seasons end and we will still be in the mix and our nerves will be in the mixer.

NOPE.

Thanks for the diagnosis doc.

I couldn't read it 'cos it hadn't posted at the time i replied !

All you had to do was begin, include or end your reply with "Charlie", that would have been obvious who you were responding to.

I was under the impression the "Charlie knows" everything, a little confusing when he asks questions if i might add ! Besides, if he's posting on an internet forum how much more difficult can it be to source the info he required while actually online ?

Anyway, is he coming to the Fev game then or what ?

I don't, no. But as a Fax fan I guess they already know why I don't go to their games so I don't feel the need to justify to people why I don't go.

.....and we have to go to Doncaster!

Who would have ever thought I would be saying that with trepidation? They have certainly come on a bit, haven't they?

Calm down MM , I may not be a Doc but I can see you are getting uptight over nothing , I simply asked a question of a Future game and was very kindly informed by JFFC ,that's all .As for me knowing "Everything ",I only wish I did
