yes a rather skinny 10 i thought also, i thought the ball was stripped off white when 2 men were involved in the tackled as esders tackled and the other player touched him,which i was told meant that he was classed as being involved in the tackle which would make 2 tacklers and it, therefore it is illegal? dont know if this is correct? dont believe it would have made much difference to the game though.

I too thought that the second tackler leaving go of the attacker didn't mean that you could then progress with a 1 on 1 strip of the ball, but I'm sure someone here must know the rules??

Maybe wrong, but if we'd scored first after half-time, we may have settled down and gone on to win....

...probably wishful thinking - we were pants tonight.

Can't say much really but we have just lost to one of the worst teams ever at this level... They are so poor and we got bullied, out enthused and out skilled. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeite on all fronts...

skinny 10 , dont actually remember your lot being onside once , lol

There are no bad teams in our league , just teams that play badly sometimes , except Widnes , who are crap

I havent looked at the table but could GD come in to play for York.

A gritty performance from York, who thoroughly deserved their win, and an absolutely disgusting performance from Fax!

I couldn't go due to business commitments but recorded it, Came home, cooked a meal, opened a bottle of wine and eagerly started to watch. Nearly threw my dinner up! Watched the entire second half in fast forward, it was so bad.

The sooner this season is over the better. Playoffs? Forget it. I can't see any way we will get past the first round.

Very poor performance, poor game although credit to York they stuck at their gameplan and it worked but how bad were we? It was very low on entertainment I wondered why I had even bothered going all that way?
Why did Sky pick this game for TV it was a total non event, having to go to York on a Thursday night not on a Sunday is bad news.

Some players need to be shipped out namely Clayton, Big Frank, and Nash especially.

Your'e about 7 players short...

Just a start who would you add then?

Or who should we keep?
Maybe a new thread or is it too early?

Am not in the business to oust players on public forums.... But there is a large proportion that won't/don't want to be with Fax next year

I know what you mean but you can also have your own views and as our season is just about over we can start to look at who we want in and oit, its only our views.

This.

That was really poor. Theres about 9 players out of that 17 i wouldnt have at Fax next year. Still paying for Callands poor recruitment. Ive said all year its hard for any half back to play behind a beaten pack and it was the same tonight but to be fair our half backs are crap. Anybody could see not signing branighan up again was a massive mistake and Bowman, Jones and Black have been crap for most of the season and our lightweight pack has struggled for yards all year untill Aizue comes on. I always wince when they say on sky that Beswick should be playing SL, Penky is twice the player he is as we saw tonight.

Ive seen some crap over the years and that was up with it. Looked like bottleless players but i guess they take after our bottless board. What do them results look like by the way?

GFB - don't have a go at the board you daft prick. If you think you can do better put your time and money where your fat mouth is. Criticism is valid for a poor performance. Last night was poor - ergo valid criticism of players. Last three years have been fantastic - therefore invalid criticism of board!

You'll be sorry when they've gone pal.

Little rich is right GFB!

The board have done a fantastic job - what a rife its been.

I think, last night we saw the end of a cycle. The end to this miserable season can't come soon enough. One good thing we can take from this is we can see its time for an overhaul of the club and the board started with getting in Noble to assure our place in the championship and by getting rid of matt.

I have every faith the board will get the right man to further progress the club!

Hardly a shabby, badly run club eh, GFB? Look around son

Great song

Time for the board to put the facts where their mouths are? Time to tell the people the actual reasons we didnt get in to SL. Lets not hide behind the " The RFL wont let us publish the results" smokescreen. After everything that happened in the aftermath of the license decision they really need to go to lengths to quash rumours that our application looked like it had been put toghether by a 10 year old. They are allowed to do it, so lets see it.

You lot need to calm down , you lost a game you thought you should have won , not the end of civilisation as we know it and most certainly not the first time it has happened this year , it is your bad start that has cost you , not a solid performance from York last night

You were missing a few influential players and just couldn't come up with the goods on the night , between the weather and one or two stupid plays ( Nash is a liability ) it wasn't your night , York fed off this and their confidence and determination grew as the second half went on

In truth you are in no worse a position than you were a few weeks back , to make the GF you were always going to have to win 3 on the bounce mostly away , that hasn't changed

If the rumours about Karl are true then next season should be interesting for you , plenty to look forward to as a Fax fan

Well said that "new FAX fan"

This.

I don`t want to see it unless I can see everyone elses , what is the point . The outburst by members of the board was because they thought our bid was as good as Wakeys so unless you see Wakeys as well it is a useless excersise .
Our Board will know the areas we need to smarten up on just as Wakey will know theirs but they will have the luxury of Super League money we will not.
There seems little point to me telling people we did not get in for certain failings if other Clubs don`t publish their failings too.
The Board have been trying to hold this Club together for years with no big money backer , I admire Michael Steele and Mike Riley immensly and I suspect there would have been many a time when it was easier to walk away. But they stick it out because they are fans and we should too, we`ve had a good 3 yrs and we`re not finished this season yet and when the season does finish we can draw a line under it . There are good things to look forward too next season and we will all have to help out again but there is no room for knee jerk reactions just because the team had a lousy game last night.The guys have had no coach for some time and the scratch coach was away last night too hardly the best of prep for any game I would think.

Thought your defence was poor when you played the Knights at your place, we scored an easy 38 points, I know you scored 76 but wev'e been poor all season you need to get rid of most of that team either too old or just not good enough, fat Franks sell by date is long gone.

Champions are lower than Widnes in the league.

Now you can concentrate on the Academy, and be a mid table team like Widnes.



It has made my season when you lot moaned about Widnes.
