I hope the lads see this as an opportunity to blow off some positive steam and kick their back sides all the way back to Cumbria on sunday evening.
See you all at the Shay.

We seem to have been gelling better as a unit in recent games so theres no point in having a go at our players (well apart from Mr Ostick perhaps) so we need to get behind THEM! A disillusioned atmosphere is not welcomed on the terraces, yes maybe in the forums and towards the board but not towards the players!
I expect a good game v Barrow regardless of this farce!!!

Too right. It must be even more dissappointing for the players than it is for the fans. After they played so well against Swinton, we had a good chance of beating Batley and a great chance with the draw on Sunday to get a semi final place.

They will want something to prove and hopefully will take it out on Barrow on Sunday.

I will be there on Sunday and I think everyone should turn up and get right behind the team on the pitch.
It's the backroom staff that have failed not the team, we have to show our support for them and make sure the season doesn't fall apart. We can still have our say on the field, so let's go on and win the Grand Final and put this debacle behind us.
We can start on Sunday by taking our frustrations out on the Barrow tryline and give it a good hammering.
Come on Fax!!!

Gutted at what's happened, and haven't contributed to the conversation so far. All we, as fans, can do is get behind the boys (including Ostick if he plays) and get on with the rest of the season.

I predict a very one-sided game on Sunday. Not 100% sure which way though - that depends if anything else has been going on (...Clay and Posner..) that we don't know about. If all the boys are together though, then something like this can be a real motivator - and Barrow should be very worried....!!

The worst thing the fans can do is to start booing (whether directed at Hall, Ostick or anyone else) on Sunday.

C'mon the Fax!!!!

After we beat them and the final whistle goes cheer the boys off the pitch then i see no problem calling for calland and halls heads they are to blame

Could go a number of ways this one. So many scenarios. The players show support for Calland by getting tonked and putting the final nail in his coffin. Or the players come out fighting and show just what a good team we all know that we can be and put Barrow to sword.

I thought numerous people on here claimed Calland had lost the dressing room anyway?

Only part of it............. Thats why there is a chance they could come out and say " look how good we can be without MC"

i only want a fax win to show can put this debacle behind us and go on to get to grand final.

The rally cry of an idiot if ever I heard one. Agree it is time to get behind the club. But the avoidance of "doom and gloom" is essentially avoiding any open discussion on what is, clearly a poor time for the club.

Your sentence structure and spelling make this look like the work of a 5 year old. This is particularly awful:

'but who sed

all publicity is good publicity!!

we will see'

Are you querstioning who said that quote? And then claiming we will see who that was? That's how it reads.

Sort it out Simmsi.

Great news for us!

If its true that half your squad is on Callands side and the others not, will you be picking from the half who are p1ssed off with his suspension???

We are hoping for new blood into the club this week to replace Blackwood and James, in addition Young, Fletcher and McGillivray are back.

Don't wish to add to your woes unduly

but this probably isn't the game you need after a week like this one.

Don't tell me Des has been bulk buying again.



On the contrary, this is EXACTLY the game we need!

I agree - lets see the players take out the frustration of the past few days on our biggest rivals from last year.

Now I'd have normally gone for Fax getting a proper shafting up at Barrow. A right royal hiding!
BUT:- I can just see a scenario now where recent events somehow galvanise the tean enough to nick it up there. Daft things like that happen under the most curious of circumstances!

There wont be anything "daft" about Fax beating Barrow at home, it will be expected.

not by me it wasn't!!

Whos bothered what you think on here old boy!

who made you queen like?
Speak for yourself. Don't try and enlist the help of others to reinforce your shoddy point. It's an open forum sunshine. You don't own it.

eh?

Believe it or not but we are running with a very small squad so far this year. Blackwood was on loan and has returned to Crusaders, and with the amount of payers released close season we had a squad of 23! We only had 18 fit players for sundays game against Hunslet, the club needs to sign a couple more or a few more injuries will make it a very difficult season. I may even dig my boots out

We're at home sunshine and not up at Barra - So we expect some sort of kick back (good or bad) after this week.

Maybe Des will pull his boots on, he's been eyeing up a player-coach role for a while....

At least Des is doing a better job than your BOD!!

Naah, he'll be too busy checking the team sheets.



Looking forward to it and I honestly take no pleasure whatsoever from the current troubles at Fax. Thought we were the two most evenly matched teams last year and expect a tough game again.
