Oi! Pinching my job!

Sorry mate ... I'll get you beer (or two) to redress the balance.

Beaten by the obvious gulf in speed and class. Considering we played jut over half the game with 12 men we didn't do that badly, defended well in midfield but let in too many soft tries from within our 20. Also bombed a couple of good chances. There's no reason to be too down heartened cause we won't play teams that fast at the PTB too often.


Fans made a good account of themselves amongst a surprisingly poor attendance

Seriously? It was a sh/te night weather-wise.
I weighed all the factors up ... and given the weather, the fact that we would get Tonked (see what I did there?) and given that I could watch England beat Wales at RU ... I thought fook it and so did many a poor soul.

But well done Donny, I think two tries away at Fev is ace and conceding 50 is about par given the difference in class.
So I am optimistic.

And full marks to the folk who went, I was going to go but changed my mind.

Who got sent off?
Or was it a case of sin-binnings mathematics?

Read another thread, looks like It was Kesik.

Kesik was sent off for 'being the 3rd man in' thaler said, haley and bostock were far more guilty from where i was

Thanks I read your other post ... Thaler is a donkey ... nothing much changes, but then I am biased.

problem is so is he

I think you can be proud of your lads last night, they never gave up, and no cries of dirty donny neither, the only thing that spoiled what was a good game of rugby was the ref .... the man is inept

He will be back with Super League from next week hopefully so not our problem

Agreed Fev lad - Donny kept their heads up all the game. Thaler got most of the decisions correct. Whistle happy at times. We got fed up in the 2nd afe when he just kept whistling for a penalty (when penalising Donny) instead of letting the game go!
Bias - no I don't think he is! A horrible little sheeeitehouse?? - yes I'd go wi that! If you ever meet him you'll know what I mean!

I don't think anyone called him biassed.

Refs aren't biassed ... they are just prima donnas who think folk have come to watch them ... oh, and their chief fault is that they guess things, often in defiance of logic and the laws of physics.

But apart from that, where would we be without them?
