How good do [iyou[/i think we are? That's the important question. I'll start you off with a clue. Look at the league table.

Off you go ......................

One day you'll realise we ARE as good as we think!

Good god. Halifax Town once beat Manchester United but that doesn't make them better, nor Man U a worst team.

Barrow made some cup finals....in the 40s.....and lost all but one.

yes but this is soon to change when we beat you in the gf this year
as for little clubs, when did you ever win anything? lmfao

league champions 86

challange cup winners 87


and loads more before

Well aren't you saying what you're telling us we shouldn't. Taking things for granted and all. How do you know you'll be in the grand final. One bad performance in the playoffs and you're gone quite possibly. Only the top two get a second bite at the cherry. That's the aim, get in the top 2.

2nd place would be disappointing for us we firmly believe 1st place is there for the taking

You're right, first loser is yours. You can have it.

A quote from your club website:

=blue"1957 really signalled the end of the golden era of the Club history and most of the star players retired after this time".
A Golden era which saw you win one trophy.

The rest is a footnote.

Like your posts, i find this quite sad. I pity you.

Remind me who the Eagles were playing the previous weekend, oh yes I remember, a Super League team, Hull K.R.

Yes they did play a super league team the week before. However i think the point was clearly missed on you. After playing so well against the super league side he was saying that possibly the halifax found it hard to be motivated to play sheffield and get up for the game.

Where as for sheffield to play the top team in the league meant they had to play a top game again. Halifax were poor regardless. Whether it was not getting up for the game or underestimating sheffield. No one has disputed that fact.

Yes I get your point you outplayed us end of story .

Harsh, jump on the guys back when we lose a game?
Wrenchy is not better than the players we had on the field yesterday no way!
The whole team apart from Miles had an off game, it happens.

I do agree though that Matt needs to keep his mouth shut at times, arrogance only winds up the opposition and saying what he did came over as being a bit arrogant.
Nowt wrong saying you have a good team but RL players are not the most professional sportsman in the world at times and this will have made our lads become a bit ahead of themselves.
Its too early to say we are that good, thing is to be honest I was even starting to believe what he was saying - until yesterday.
Shattered my illsuion now.

cant believe posts complaining at coach!!!!!!!!!!
lost one game all season and somebody having a go, unbelievable...
get behind fax and get em going again to bounce straight back.

Your wealthy Chairman certainly does, throwing the kind of money around that he is doing its no wonder you are doing well! You and Widnes with Mr O'Connor must be the richest clubs in our league by a mile!
Good luck to you but remember what happened to Widnes in 2007 (and us back in time) when Mr Moneyman lose interest and they always do.

You may get the team to do the stuff in the nest 3 years but your ground is way behind SL standard, whats your plans on that front if any?

Matt Calland as annoyed a lot of people with his remark, he should of bigged up the whole of the championship teams after there performance at cas and said there was some great teams in it. But no he belittled the rest, he as done the motivation bit for every team you will face.

I dont particular bother if he has motivated every other team in our league and when we face them I hope they all raise their games, so we have good competitive games, the trick is motivating our players to expect good competitive games week in and week out to avoid complacency.

I say "bring it on" to all that we play.

^^ What he said.

The fact that we lost doesn't matter, we will lose other matches.
But the whole team seemed disinterested on sunday. Their body language was all wrong. That early try we scored Just added to the complacency.
The performance against Cass was good, But all the fuss about it shows Halifax have a long way to go.

The team that turned up on sunday wont beat Doncaster.

Matt Calland thinks Fax have the style
to win the league by a country mile
but now they look not quite so regal
since being stuffed, by Sheffield Eagle

Taken from Barrow forum :lo

That is shocking poetry, do they not know that alternate lines are supposed to rhyme, not one after the other.

Try this

Peter North, he thinks we're sh**e
Which really is a shame
Cos he dunt know nowt, so he cant be right
We've only lost one league game.

So there you have it, proper rhyming couplet with added colloquialism to boot

A bit of culture!

There was a nut from Barrow
he liked to take the mick.
He could have shut his cake hole
but chose to look a d!ck.

Your a poet
And you don't know it
But your feet sure show it.


Smokin Joe.

they call themselves the shaymen
but all they are is gaymen
halifax rlfc

How long have you been a so called RUGBY fan?? We, in our long history have "NEVER" been called the Shaymen. You must have only been a rugby fan for about 40 seconds but we don't hold that against you.
