i disagree with the cannot lose sentiment imo if we want any chance of super league we need to dominate the game outside sl. and that starts on sunday by beatin barra!

Quote Mr M Calland, May 9th, 2009
[i"It didn't surprise me how well we played, we're the best team in our league by a country mile and that probably showed."[/i

Is that the kind of respect and humility to which you allude ????????

Keep churning out all the cr@p about Des J. Absolutely no pressure on us at all. It's coach Clarke's last game in charge (so no pressure on him at all), we already have silverware and will have appeared in 2 finals this year. The NR Cup final will also stand us in good stead in that we know what a final is all about.

The only sensible statement in all that ramble.

At that particular time, Mr Calland was exactly correct in his comment. We were, but he was a little naive in saying this. All that I can say is that with loosing 6 in a row, its a good job he didnt work for Sir Des of Cumbria, because he would have been hung, drawn and quartered and his head put on a post in the town centre as a example to those who defy the great lord Johnstone.....

Hmmm be respectful eh. To who? You or my clubs Chairman? I agree that Fax beat Barrow 3 times this season, but so what, we won the league because your team blew it.... Yourself as a fan would have some bragging rights for winning, wouldn't you?? As for Craven Park, yes it is an old dated stadium, but wants again its owned by the club! and not some council. If you did know anything about Barrow Rl and its mentioned on previous posts that there's plans for it to be redeveloped and as for enjoying our time as a fan while Sir Desmondo of Cumbria being a Chairman. I will!!! Because Barrow RL has never gone totally bust in its history with or without a rich Chairman. So please be respectful yourself as last time the two teams met Barrow played Fax off the park! Roll on Sunday.

His last "last game"!

An no other reason, don't you forget it

How sad

That what should be the most exciting game in RL is now reduced to a ' good day out '

That is what I should be having at warrington

You lot should be having lurching stomaches and panic attacks

Shame

Oh that will be happening as well.

Barrow fans are crapping themselves. Fax do not need to prove anything and no pressure on us and we are the underdogs. Barrow won the League. They hammered us a couple of weeks ago. They should win by 10-16 Points. The Fans seem to think they have won and carry on the usual bollox. Barrow have to win as Des The Village Idiot will cry and throw a strop otherwise.




Wonder if Barrow will to do much about the ground now? Its easy to buy a team but Des has thrown no money on the candles let alone the ground to get them ready for SL. Des is somebody who will walk when the going gets tough.

Matters not what you or Barrow do , unless you can magic another 3,000 fans each the Mutants are going to SL

thats a fair point, but I think the Fax following on Sunday will surprise a few people (lot of tickets bought thru RFL)

I cannot believe some of the comments on this thread. We have ticked the box so it doesn't matter if we lose. This is the grand final for gods sake, it is the biggest game of the year for the club. Anyone who has played the game will tell you that playing in any final is what we play for.
Good luck Fax, the club and the town need this victory. On the day i will not give a damn about some tick in the box.

Your right.

but unfortunately the biggest game for the club was last thursday (as per RFL).

i will be one of 4k fax fans on Sunday looking for the win, there's no doubts there.

Oh and Coach of the year............................and Player of he year

For someone who very obviously knows nothing about the BRLFC set up, you dont half drone on.

Barrow fans are crapping themselves.........yeah course we are





Who is going to win....I could,nt tell you.

Ok, so your coach of the year has one more game and then what?

He will be cast aside, very much like he was a few weeks ago, even though he is coach of the year!!!

Frank also got an award, so its 3 to 2, in your favour. Time to even it up with the biggy on Sunday then.

Well done to that fair enough.
But I would rather take the biggest prize and thats to beat you lot on Sunday!

I agree. Shows what a farce the sport has become when supporters are more bothered about ticking a bloody box than actually winning a final. I dont blame Fax fans, just the RFL.

Well I for one will sleep soundly in my bed tonight knowing this is one thing you will not be blameing Fax fans for.




Very proud of My Club HRLFC , very proud of my Team and very proud of my fellow supporters .Well done all of you .

As far as I am aware Dave doesn't want the head coaches job next year. I may be wrong though.

And who in their right mind would want the Job when Des is calling ALL the shots?

Rhino turned it down. Good job for Des!....imagine sacking Karl Harrison!

They would have to do it over the phone like we did.
