We did a bit, but we looked to a bit in the first half too.

I missed the Uele try as I was on coffee duty

Was very much like the Solomona try at Wigan many years ago when he got stopped on the line by a multitude of defenders then this arm just appeared and plonked the ball over the line

That’s the difference between trying to put a big shot on and not focusing on tackling which allowed him to spin drop and reach out, the York lad who needed a haircut tried the big shot and failed

Watched a good 20 minutes of the best free flowing R L football I have seen in years ,as in passing of ball at speed ,runners all over the place, and one of the best tackling displays for 80 minutes .Know it is in the Championship but you still got to deliver. And a lot of the talk on here as been about 10 \ 15 ? who shamed the name of our great club .Let them not get in the way of what looks like a season to remember

It was a very enjoyable day - all apart from the idiots right at the end.
Looking at the video going around social media it was just 2 brainless morons fighting, looked like
a Father and Son. The rest of the Trinity supporters in that stand were telling them to pack it in and
leave the stadium. Hopefully bans coming their way.

As for the game, I thought Max was exceptional but overall it was a very good team performance.
Scott Mikalauskas gave some very dubious penalties in the second half, but the lads defended
incredibly well.

York have a great Stadium, and a good little set up.

Overall a good start to the new Trinity era.

Was a very enjoyable experience, both the game and the ground. It did seem to be just the 2 morons that couldn't handle the beer.

Still not convinced with Lino, he tackles well above his weight, but his go forward still seems to be a hop, skip and jump or a drop off pass. Bowden look great for me, some big hits.

Scott Mikalauskas, where to start. He should be an NFL ref let way too many forward passes go (as did his touch judge). But in a strange way, he did us a favour as without his strange reffing, York wouldn't get in our half, so we at least had some defensive training.

Two idiots spoiled it! Don't tar everyone else who was stood round them trying to calm things down with the same brush, the 2 in question i'm sure will be dealt with.

Indeed, the defence was a very pleasing aspect of the game, more so then the attack, I would guess with Myler, Dagger et al York would've asked more questions but still we looked solid and to not nil them will have irked the team

Those defending the flag on social media aren’t helping things either.

Well said mate.

Hope the Grandkids managed to sort you out [ievery time[/i they took you Ketty.......

TBF to the players some of the discipline was more down to the strange decisions of the ref.
Thought the speed and fitness of the team was light years away from last season and there were some impressive performances as has been mentioned.

My young un has the bladder the size of a pea so he was strategically sat next to him.

The flag isn't the issue, that's a personal joke between lads who follow us everywhere, they weren't involved in the trouble but unfortunately was stood near where it happened

Can't say as I'm a fan of that flag being waved in front of kids but if it's going to be waved again in front of a more selective audience on a private bus or in a pub I suggest a picture of Sean Bean should be added just to emphasise the gist.

the lads in question are a fantastic bunch of people, very respectful and polite, they follow the team all over and they live and breathe our club. They are exactly the type of fans we want at our club. They've had a joke amongst themselves and to be honest it's no different to calling kendal or child
Or any other ref a f ING cheat or any other explicit in front of children. These lads were not the cause of any trouble NONE

Tbf to Lino, I've just listened to DP's post-match interview and neither he nor Gale has done much work the past 2 weeks, just concentrating on getting back to fitness, so considering that he went well, especially that first half imo.
On Uele, even in that boxing day game, since he'd just fallen off a plane, you could see glimpses of what he would be capable of as the season went on and he got fitter and used to the British game and teammates, etc, we could potentially have a Big Dave replacement on our hands. It's a pretty formidable pack already and we haven't even seen Vagana or Bane, so when they're both up to speed, it's exciting times.

Yeah, on the video that someone put up that captures the incident on Twitter that I watched off the Trinity Heritage podcast that linked into ours. Those with that flag were all not impressed by the drunk idiots at all, trying to swing at the stadium stewards, and then his dad or whoever he was that got pushed out of the way and went ass over tit when he tried to get himself involved. They all were just waving them out and probably told them what they thought of them and had nothing to do with the stupidness at all from the evidence of that video of what went on inside the ground.

On its own isn’t that much a problem but coupled with the fight it now looks like we’ve a got football hooligan contingent.

There is no doubt the lads with the flag were not involved in the incident.

But, they've taken a private joke and made it public, and have got a reaction they didn't expect.
If they are polite and respectful as Mopsey says, they'll keep it to themselves, but from what I've seen they are trying to defend it and don't understand the issue.

The incident near them has unfortunately shone a light on it.
And Mopsey, you are right, it's no different to calling to ref a cheating b but if you put that on a sign with Trinity name you'll get the same reaction.

Spot on PT...if it's a private joke then keep it private...I hope not to see that flag again as it contradicts what the club is about these days !!

you are tying the flag issue in with 2 people out of 1500 not behaving which knowing you is about right, you have your own agenda to everyone else and along with another poster have ruined this forum. Not meaning to offend but there's now not many got a good word to say about you. It's called dictating not moderating.
