commiserations.... You will get a few gloaters on here but i know what its like losing a final (being a leigh fan). chins up and good luck next season

you'll not get gloats from me....well done anyway....a cracking advert for rugger outside SL

Yep been there and have felt exactly as you lot will now, chins up and get ready for another ride next year.


Feels crap but you will be back just like us.

Both sides played very well and again the Championship put on a great show for the camera-as did the Keighley-Oldham game. Felt we was a bit unlucky with some calls and sadly Patts left his boots at home. However the club has moved forward again this year and got to its first final in nearly 20 years. Somebody wants to gloat then I would laugh at them for being sad.
Well done Barrow enjoy your win. Just shame you have a W@**er as a chairman who thinks he can do what he wants and gets a strop on if not. Sky said he went in to the Sheds at HT to tell the players he was not happy!

Was an enjoyable game to watch and both sides put in a huge amount of effort. I think Fax probably came worse off the referee decisions although I think Barrow just about edged it.

Unlucky Fax.

unlucky fax just thought barrow scored their trys at critical stages of the game you will be better for ut next season and stronger for this defeat hard luck

I wasn't gonna gloat until your post ! Get over Des for goodness sake !

Dont normally agree with the ' unlucky ' bit but you were , the high tackle when the Barrow player was slipping down gave them field position and I always felt that if Barrow could get into your 20 with a full set they would score , and they did

I heard a lot of your fans saying you need to dump Matt , I'd disagree , he will learn from this year , but hopefully will contunue to play an open style of play

ps What was up with Penky today

Penky i have no idea i didnt see him on the pitch for a lot of the game.

how good was Ben Black though takes a big effort to win the man of the match on the losing team. i hope no super league scouts were watching to try and pinch him.

Penky got a knock on his knee by the looks of it and went off with it iced.

tbh i thought penc took a couple of wrong options in the 1st 5 mins which could have seen you 12-0 up if diffo were taken.I know you guys rate him but from what i see on tv he isnt great.

Pick yerselves up and get that franchise next season, we are all routing for ya!

This is a Fax forum and I will post what I want. You dont like it stay on your own forum. Most rival Fans (Fax, Widnes,Fev etc)can not stand the way Des does things and that is why they do not like Barrow.

Get over your self , you are an embarresment to the many decent fax fans, des this des that des the other, ffs get a grip man.

You were a credit to RL today Fax and could have won but didnt, unlucky, next year will be good for you judging on your recent signings.
Go well, except for the that is TLBC.

Just watching it back now, how far forward did the ball travel for Ballards try in the 1st half? Bauer passed the ball on the 20m line & Ballard caught it 2m's further up field!

First of all this is a public forum where anyone can post. To have fans of other clubs post on here is great and necessary. As my grannie used to say, if you have ten people in a room who all agree, nine of them might as well go home.

As to the game, it was great. Once again we threw it away with those two penalties in quick sucession, and an astonishingly ill advised attempted off load. But thats Halifax for you. As I said to my mate, if the crazy passes stick we'll win, and if not we'll lose.

I can't remember enjoying a season as much as this one. I hope they keep playing that way. Well done Matt and the boys

Here here a top class game played by 2 very good sides, if score had been other way round, I would be saying same.
Roll on next season Fax fans, NL1 is on the up and up, can the same be said for the Sooperleague???

NL1 is sooooo 2008. We're in the big time now. We're in the Championship.
