The Ghanaians probably.

I reckon that leaves all 62 milion free to watch the Dons

Well after we lose on penalties to the Germans it might....otherwise[size=200 NO WAY!!![/size

Hills ... Dons +10pts 5/6.

+10 seems to be the concensus. Ladbrokes and Paddy Power now quote the same handicap with the same price as Hills 5/6.

Dons 30 v Hornets 20, good win for the Dons .
Rob Lunt was excellent we controlled the game for the first 20 mins, Rochdale came back . Dons played well in the 2nd half until thr last 10 mins when we allowed the opposition back into the game .
A decent referee for a change too.

Yes...very good...I thought we would beat Rochdale.
They surprised me with how good SOME of their players are.

For us..Rob Lunt is one exceptional player and was clearly man of the match.

Nothing really to moan about ....which is a shame





However, as well as he played ...and he is a talent, someone needs to have a word with Henry about what he did at the end of the game.

This is where we should kick on and beat York and Blackpool......but will we??????
We are capable and if we want a play-off place..... that is what is needed.

What did Henry do ?

He fielded a punt from Rochdale at full back position about thirty yards out, stopped, then ran backwards and sidewards and then threw the ball out on about his own 10 metre line.

Now this was all based on the premise that the game would stop at 80 minutes according to the keepmoat clock...when in fact he didn't have a clue how long was left. The ball was thus gifted to Rochdale who could then have scored and then scored from the restart and won the game. Very unlikely, but possible.

Luckily Henry was right and the hooter went as the scrum was forming ....but I thought it was a silly thing to do. He would have been better taking the tackle or kicking up field.

good result, shame we couldent get them out to south africa by tommorow!

You're not really Henry's mum are you?....because even if you were...you'd be biased.
And what the fook influence would rugby players have on the outcome of a football game??

All the players gave 100% today a very enjoyable game.






A decent attendance as well.
COYD.

570+ IIRC....which ain't half bad and justified the match switch.

well done lads with a great turnout too - anyone tell me why David Bates is going ?

Not getting picked ? we have younger more mobile props. Thought Ellery had a good game last night .

David rumoured to be training at York.

Have to agree with many of the comments ...

The referee did indeed have a decent game.

Rob Lunt was excellent and deservedly won the MotM award.

Decent attendance all things considered.

With regard to Aaron Henry the point has been made about the incident at the end of the match, but a bigger concern for me is the high ball. At least three times to my recollection he didn't go forward and try and catch the ball, rather allowing it to bounce ... on another day we could have been punished for that.

Otherwise, no complaints at all.

I think the worry with Rob will be holding on to him. He's only on loan at the moment and his current form will either persuade Dewsbury to hold on next season or alert other clubs.

Great result weel done to all 17 players. Henry may not be too safe on the high ball but his tackling has tightened the defence where in the past we have been suspect.His cover tackle near the end when a try looked certain was superb having come accross from the far side.He also took plenty of stick throughout the game and mostly kept his cool so whilst unwise what he did at the end I think he can be forgiven.Also showed a good turn of speed to follow up the kick and score. Ely changes the options when he comes on and scored a good try.
Good to see Edwards who appears to be well on the way to full recovery.
Finally well done to the choir it certainly seems to lift the players and adds to the atmosphere.
Oh and agree with the comments re the ref who let the game flow and generally had a good game

The [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/tables/6487547.stmtable.[/url Only 6 games left....we need to win them all (certainly five of them). It would be hard....but it is possible

Aaron thought time was up because of the clock. We have had a few complaints this season about the clock, cant remember who it was now who complained in the after game press conference. Didn't want to say i did the stadium clock as i was writing down his comments



And last night if it was closer with what Aaron did it could have been disastrous. I am considering when the clock gets to about 78 minutes, putting a scroller on saying "THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL MATCH CLOCK" or something along those lines. maybe stopping at 80:00 makes it more confusing than leaving the clock running past that mark.

anybody got any suggestions. it is impossible to be spot on with the time keepers. we do regular checks, but bearing in mind i have to run down to pete, and then run back to our room, then you are back to guessing. but would hate for the clock to be blamed for a loss, so lets get this sorted now.

Wasn't there a Match Commissioner earlier on in the season who said that he didn't want the board clock running during the game?

Aaron should have played to hooter !

Lesson learnt hopefully for the young man. I have never trusted that clock since loosing to Celtic Crusaders. Back to the match. Apart from some daft penalties I came away from that game believing we have a great little team in prospect. Well done to everyone concerned at the club and I will have a very large piece of that humble pie. The key for me is to keep (fingers crossed) the nucleus of the side and provide us with something that has been sadly missing for the past 4/5 years. Speaking to Richard (Huby) at half time filled me with more optimism for the future than I have had for a number of years.

Nobody is blaming you...and you do a difficult job.
But time is up when you say it's up....the clock is just a guide and players should know that.
You would need a system where the time-keepers control the clock...stopping it and starting it on the refs say so.
If that is what happens at present....then it doesn't work properly. Because 80 mins should be 80 mins...it is on SKY etc.
The fans count down.5-4-3-2-1-yippee!

I really enjoyed the match, it was just a shame we let them sneak the bonus point, but at this time last year we could not buy a win!
I am looking forward to next season already. The play offs this year may be slightly out of reach due to our difficult start to the season with team gelling and injuries but i think it is a good time to be a Dons fan. Has anyone noticed the attendance figures at Swinton and Workington this weekend? 280 & 307 respectively! This makes our 560 very respectable considering that they are both higher in the league than us.
