no

yeh a small one I wouldnt put your life savngs on it with the team that will go out on monday!

Halifax are without Ben Black. Plus Gleeson is on a bender at Wembley with some of his mates on Saturday/Sunday.

lets look at it who have beaten Fax this season - shefield twice, Widnes twice , Batley once & Whitehaven once........ dejavu............. thats everyone we've beaten & the same number of times the only difference is we beat Whitehaven in the northern rail cup! so its deffinately feasable & we've got alot more at stake then Fax so we could win but missing watson deffinately & the possibily of nanyn out, taylor wont be playing for sure & im theres someone else that might be out too. It's gonna be very hard we just need batley to loose to be safe!

I do not want Batley to go down either ,I hope Gateshead go down.Stuff the RFL and their expansionist claptrap.

yeh me to i'd rather gateshead marde ars*es go down but realisticly its more likely to be Batley than them. Gateshead have the Dons a deffinate win for them, I hope Barrow rape them of all 3 points

flatcapper

wot?

Funnily enough I am thinking of having some shirts printed saying "proud to be a flatcapper" with a small picture of a flatcap on them. I am all in favour of expanding the game but it should not be done at the expense of traditional clubs just because of where they are. The Sooper League criteria gives them a point for not having another team within (is it 20 miles) why ?local derbys are the life blood of the game. If you manufacture a team eg Celtic there is no foundation to it and I don`t like what they do to traditional clubs such as Bramley and Keighley in their struggle to keep the "dream" alive.
I cannot understand why our club reps` don`t speak out at the RFL days instead they are complicit by signing some gagging order so they are unable to talk about it.
Why don`t they all stick together and refuse to be party to it all.

I think the Barrow v Whingers match is a no brainer IMO



Picture this ......... Bank Holiday Monday 6 bells KO , a big passionate crowd and Barrow get to win the league on their own patch



Barrow fans may take the chance to have a scoop or two before the match and sing songs with swear words in and offend that Gateshead pillocks two delicate brats

Barrow are most likely to win on monday! I'm a leyther till i die but from a nuetral point of view for barrow to come up this season & then win the league is an excellent achievement for any club! Next season is gonna be a different one though !

Like this you mean?

Yes something like that but not quite as small.

Err yes I forgot to resize it before I posted!

Believe Barrow supporters are way out in front as the best,the very best,as it happens.

Now,you imbeciles (euphemism ) what are you going to do to prove you are the worst set of morons (euphemism) ? Having two consecutive games when you have had an opposition player allegedly make a hand gesture towards you,will you be going for your hat trick ?
Firstly there was the player representing Toulouse and then allegedly,a Gateshead player who spent a little time in France.This would suggest you neanderthals ( euphemism ) are targetting the French Connection in the UK.( FCUK - WHICH ARE THE 4 LETTERS YOU SEEM TRANSFIXED BY )

Why not target 'Lurpak' Calland ? On second thoughts Said Tamghart could be provoked into emulating Cantona and diving feet first into Leigh fans.Could be more injuries ! Yes,go FCUK yourselves - that's the best route.
You must be very proud to hold the record for being despised by supporters of rugby league and the players.Well done.

Why do you think the Barrow fans are the best? I think they're good but no better than Fax(my team), leigh, widnes or haven. It's easy to support a winning team as they have done this year and the test of true loyalty comes when your team is struggling. I know Gateshead and Leigh have had a bit of a do this past week but surely you apprecieate the leigh fans that made the trip.

As for winding Thamghart up and getting him into the crowd, i wouldn't recommend it!!

Thunderclap. you are an absolute nutcase,slide back under your stone were you belong you sad git

bad news people after visiting gateshead last week,after the match i got very friendly with one of the gateshead 5,needless to say i now have a very bad case of THUNDERCLAP

I don't think anyone at Gateshead appreciated the Leigh fans being there. Their players and supporters obviously felt intimidated, by the large numbers and the noise, and their officials were incensed at having to spend half the night, counting the 'gate' money. It's obvious that there were a few cases of, bad language, (not to be condoned) but there were hundreds of us who didn't use bad language.

When Thunder came to the Sports Village, we didn't feel intimidated by their noisy following, even though they never shut up! And I also have it on good authority that the ticket office staff were happy, at only having to count the cash from an away 'following', of about 12!

As for being the club to be despised by the supporters of rugby league oh and the players well ,i think that SWANKING GATESHEAD are the proud owners of that you (euphenism)

Err excuse me thundercrap...but the words "imbeciles, morons, and neanderthals" are euphemisms for what exactly? Or do you not know the meaning of the word euphemism?

Shut up you fool (euphemism)

bye bye

Care in the Community hasn't quite reached Gateshead.

Actually Alan, this is an excellent post. Personally, I think people from Gateshead were impressed by the Leigh following last week.

I feel that a minority of Gateshead fans were rightly upset by the behaviour of a minority of Leigh fans - this is all down to personal tolerance and people will see it differently.

I personally did not hear anything over the course of the day that offended me, but obviously people did.

I responded to a post on here, but purely because it was stated that people from gateshead could not have the same passion as people from Leigh - I strongly disagree. If our club was to go, it would be an arrow through the heart of me and my family who all follow Thunder.

I was part of the Thunder crowd at LSV, and when thrown aa comment by a female Leigh fan about our noise, threw one back - banter.

We have good relations with most fans in the game, and this week is totally out of character foir both clubs.

A lot of fans in the game know me as being a genuine bloke.

Can we move on please.
