The Vet

Your righto, its frustrato for English clubs to savo players careers, then when they get some formio they then claim the home sicko card and get back into the bigo time.

Who are the 4 directors left? Steve Neale joined recently, Peter Hornby? Was it in the evening mail saying John Coward has stepped down? I’m sure I read it somewhere. Is Murph on the board or commercial side? I’m only wondering as it’s a small BOD as it stands

If it was this simple I’m sure it would have had some serious discussion, as there doesn’t seem to have been any, it can’t be that easy, if both clubs sold their grounds it wouldn’t cover the cost to build a new stadium so that’s a no go. As far as selling one of the grounds which would be sold? The soccer fans seem to have more vent against rugby than vice versa, for whatever reason I don’t know, but I’d imagine there would be a big demonstration against them moving to Craven Park, we own Craven Park but don’t Asda own Holker St? Good discussion but I can’t see it going anywhere soon. keep Craven Park in my eyes

if it was a council run stadium I’d say no way for me, history has shown too many clubs who have sold are on their backsides now.

I could be mistaken but I don’t remember Paul Rowley as a player being dirty/niggly or controversial, the teams he has coached play with the pace that he had when he played, but he himself and his teams that he has coached in the last few years arnt how i associate him with, or has my memory faded and he was he controversial?

UptheUlvy!💙💛

Especially when it was played 3rd March?

I presume I’m one of the 3. I’m not sure where Barrow’s extra 12 points should have come from but iv never said Barrow shouldn’t have won, they were quality and the score line reflected the game that it could have been won by either side, Cresta’s tactics were spot on working over short sides against a bigger quicker team as Barrow were going to find it hard going round them on big spread plays, I’m as big as supporter as anyone that watches week in week out, I don’t watch games however with Blue & white tinted glasses, I call things as I see it. After watching the Evening Mail clips & the OBrien incident, it gives a better angle than where I was stood and it should have been a yellow card, however unless Dec Hulme has turned into Usain Bolt he would never have touched the ball down before it went dead. Il throw another decision in the mix, on Barrow’s first try did Big Joe impede a defender from getting to Martin Aspinwall, we got the try but on another day could it have been disallowed? its all if, buts and maybe’s but for sure if Barrow can keep that level of performance up weekly it’ll be championship rugby again next season.

I blame Sunday’s ref! Its common knowledge that whatever is being spoke about, plenty don’t know what the rumour is! Myself included.

I thought he was ok, there were decisions which could have gone either way, were there any complaints about the officials when they disallowed a TW try for a forward pass in the 1st half when it wasn’t forward? I can’t imagine there wasn’t. The only other main ‘major’ decision was when O’Brien caught the chaser, it could have been a sin bin but the decision of a penalty rather than penalty try was correct. Your right Renfrew I wasn’t there, I dreamt the above incidents.👍 Il stick with my earlier post though, it gets tedious the constant whinging about officials.

I’m with you Rooster, it gets tedious the constant whining about officials.

I wasn’t aware Barrow was the only place in the UK that has had heavy rain in the last 8 weeks.

Dont get me started on this thread! The knock on rule: if the ball is dropped but goes backwards it is NOT a knock on... over the past few years refs are over thinking it and are giving ridiculous scrums when clearly the ball goes towards the offenders try line, that amongst many rules that are just over thought by refs. if a ball carriers leg is lifted it isn’t a penalty, when the leg is lifted that is when the ref should call held, so many fans I know think it’s a penalty, those are 2 without even thinking about it

Is it only me but is Jake Connor becoming the most over rated player in SL?
