I've just watched the game, and the fight in particular, when penk was on the floor, he threw the first punch! Bit of a numb nuts idea when he was sat down to start with. The high shot on McNally deffo a red, but the scrap was six of one, half a dozen of t'other, penky being the instigator if you watch carefully. Wonderful use of the dark arts Sean.

I haven't got the time to watch the full game. Can anyone tell me the approx time on the video of the high shot on McNally and the fight?

68 minutes. Fight a bit later.

Spears clearly should have been sent off.

Thanks for that Frank, just watching it now. He nearly took his bloomin' head off!!

Don't know if anyone can remember but a couple of year ago at POV, Kevin henderson was sent of for a similar offence, yet four of their players gang up on Sarsfield, and Mcnally clearly gets closelined and Spears doesn't get sent off? Oh well you can excuse them, they're not used to getting comfortably beaten at home, well played lads, let's take loads to Dewsbury now

There's a bit of pushing and shoving going on between the pair of them nothing too serious, maybe a penalty but Sharp's response to start attacking Kay on the ground was completely disproportional. He should be given as long a suspension as they can.

Having just watched the game back Demon, I'm rather perplexed at what you wanted Leigh to do in that instance. Any RL player would have reacted in the same way to what was absolute thuggery from Fev.

It was Andy Kain who started swinging at Penky whilst he on the floor. Expect him to get a ban for that for sure, as well as Spears for his tackle on McNally which should have seen red.

Will they miss the next game against Sheffield away if banned? Or would it be the following game at home to Workington. If it is next week then it could cost them dearly, if it's against Worky I would expect them still to win fairly comfortably.

Disgraceful response from Fev, think it's been a long time since they got dismantled like that at home in the league. Obviously didn't like it so turned nasty.

Well it looks like Sharp to me ie the guy sent off.

I could not understand why Sarsfield had to walk too. He looked very badly done to judging by his reaction on his way to the touchline.

Suppose it was the touch judge who decided on the latter.

You're right it was. So has the referee sent off the wrong player? They seem to be getting into a habit of doing that.

Wrong again. Nozzy is right. Just watched it again.

Cracking Atmosphere again, really enjoyed the game despite the result. Having both sets of fans side by side in the family stand was good.

Reminded me of when we were in the top flight all those years ago and it was like that every week in the old bullock shed.

Where we were sate got a perfect view IMHO Penky did not wrong, he got attacked hols on the floor by two of their players the two ha were sent off had nothing to do with the incident .

Why is it that your perfect views are usually different from what actually happened, is it poor eyesight or blind belief?

Penky did seem to throw the first punch but I think ref sent the wrong two off.

Well ref put the brawl on Report so Sarsfield will have no case to answer imo.

Should Penky be suspended Lewis Foster will replace him.

Have watched this lad in our reserves I think he will become a fan favourite sooner rather than later.

Get a new keyboard,or some new fingers.




iPad predicts the words and I forgot to read it first lol

There were pushes from both players. The Fev lad wanted Penky to release and Penky took offence. Just pushes at this point. Then the Fev player laid into Penky with punches to the head. That's how I saw it from LCTV. After that all hell let loose. The Greg McNally incident. Although it was high I think Greg should have stayed on his feet and he was through. We most likely could have scored and if not the ref would have brought it back for the high shot. On LCTV it doesn't look that bad to me but I wasn't the one getting hit.

How was McNally ever going to stay on his feet running full paced & receiving a still forearm to his head nearly taking it clean off?

You making a comedy at present? It looked even worse live as you saw what he was going to do, he made a conscious decision to act as he did from where I was watching. Very poor call from the ref, and resulted in what went on later imo

That's my opinion fellas. I have watched it back about 20 times now. To me it looks more like a grab than a swinging arm. Like I said it was high and it wasn't me getting hit. The brawl, having watched that back the same doesn't look good for us. The Refs Assistant raises his flag for Penky's first strike and then Matt gets a push then looses it. That is my opinion from the footage that I have seen.

That dirty cheap shot off Spears would of taken Tommy 'granite' Goulden down it was the most blatant red how leatherbarrow or the touch judges didn't call for the player to be sent off I don't know. If you catch a player high while tackling it'll either be a penalty against you, sin binning or a red if it's bad but when has deliberate forearm to the head on a player making a break deemed just a foul? Wrong decision IMO a sin binning at the very least.

Although didn't Leigh get the penalty? Not saying you're wrong, but maybe the officials saw it differently?

They did Alan and rightly so as the first two digs were just pushes from what I could see. The Fev player was the first to throw a proper punch.

the bit what I saw on Boots & All last night only showed some brief highlights of the initial melee but did anyone else notice Kay run in from nowhere and punch Kain whilst he was on the floor ? Whilst I agree that Kain threw one or two at Penkywicz while he was on the floor, I would think that Kay may have a charge also......
