I normally find Neil really funny with his half time game and joke, but what he did last night was a step too far and could have incited trouble from the Bulls fans. If the shoe was on the other foot and it was at Odsal, we had put a run together like Bradford have and their announcer started that song and pointed at us to call us sad Saints ba**ards and a sh*t rugby team, we would have been livid! Thought it was a bit much and he could find himself in trouble again.

Also, it has been mentioned elsewhere but the booing was totally ridiculous. We have played sensational rugby recently and surely everyone realises we will hit a bad patch at some point. It might be now, or it might be later in the year. We had a very bad day at the office yesterday but all credit to Bradford who fully deserved the win.

The 'die, die Newton' (again mentioned elsewhere) is embarrasing. After witnessing the shocking Westerman injury last week, I completetly find this chant disgusting and I know it's probably no-one on this board and there's probably no way of stopping it but it really is awful.

We should just lock yesterday away in a cupboard somewhere and concentrate on playing the pies next week. I can't wait for the Magic Weekend and am really looking forward to chatting to fans from all clubs about our great game. I think we will bounce back next week and claim a victory over the Pies.

Come on you Saints!

Bill Arthur actually spoke about the fans singing that and also cheering when solomona went off.

We will never stop a small minority of fans singing that, my Brother in Law is relatively new to the game (first game 2006) and asked me why they were singing it, when we explained why his response was "time they got over it then"

But they are probably the same idiot who were booing at the end of the game.

They didn't cheer when he went off, they cheered when he went down, a bit like Bradford and Leeds fans did when Maurie went down in their respective games, and also as Wigan fans did when Leuluai hit Maurie.

It's part of the game - if the fans see someone seriously injured the reaction is different.

i.m.o holding goes o.t.t every home game with his "too many pies" comments at whoever does'nt run fast enough to catch the tommy bomb

It was a good way to hand your resignation in,Ill give him that.

Totally out of order last night.

When we go to other grounds and they have someone on the pitch with a mic they usually welcome us.

Time for Neil to go.

Bit odd given he was at Bradford for a while.

You'd have thought he'd have learnt his lesson last time, oh well time to find a new announcer...

Give it a rest ... the guy is there to entertain at H/T not to make friends with all and sundry .... You lot sound like the PC brigade on coke, all hyped up and nothing better to do

The problem is that he isn't entertaining though.

To you maybe not .... to me I think the banter is well worth the side splitting laughter, some errors are to be expected along the way.

I turned to my mum last night and said "thats him out of a job next week then"...

Mmmm maybe right, but it is MM, would he be expected to go to E'bugh, maybe not

I think we should get a petition together and ask for the speaker near us to be broken again.

He is there to entertain everyone that has paid to be there, not insult a number of them! He was an idiot before and will be again, Saints dont need him to show them up, get rid!!!

Can't say i heard this but if it was the case it's totally out of order.

Hardly in tune with it being a family game etc.

If that was at Odsal towards any away fans i'd expect the guy to be fired asap.

I thought the Saints fans on way out were pretty gracious in their defeat, some obvious calls about Silverwood. Seemed to be a lot of genuinely shocked faces as well. You could say that for us Bulls fans too.

I'll bring a rock to the next game and we can take turns trying to break it ourselves.

I thought Neil was poor last night by his Standards!

He should of done a rendition of my ole man!

Cmon Neil get with it!

Snap!



I was most disappointed when he started singing 'Cheer Up...'

Loads of people complained when the Cas mascot had a go at Pryce last week, as a "representative" of Cas - afraid Holding is no better, and last night was worse.

Thank God I couldn't hear a word he was saying, from my spec on the Popular side. Saw him point to his ar$e a couple of times but thought he was commenting on our performance in the first half hour.

And given the ground rules regarding foul and abusive language. Should he set an example?
