  1. Without any disrespect to Rob , Jonesy's was more than different circumstances , Danny was a current player with the squad at the time and he was taken ill during a match, his passing was more than unexpected ..
  2. Few things, first time Steady's played at 9 at this level , having played in the halves or full back for the past few seasons and he'll be the first to admit that it will take him a couple of games to get up to speed on the work rate and physicality in the middle of the park having defended out on the flanks for all that time .. Secondly Kesik only played 20 mins and Ben played the last 60 , normally your hookers would be spelled far more frequently than the Oldham game . Oh and Fozzie praised him for his defensive efforts in the post match interview ... As for being too small ...Paul Moses one of the Keighley Greats and hooker of this parish would have probably needed a decent pair of 70s platforms to be as tall as Steady ...#justsaying
  3. Just a quick mention on here for ex Keighley , Fev and Fax Full Back James Rushworth who's again doing his annual' driving home for Christmas ' MND fundraiser . No mountain climbing or marathons, just Rushy's end of year video from his work van as he signs off work for Christmas but from a fella with close association with friends and teammates who have fought MND, its always powerful stuff . He's up to £3500 for 2023 and he's raised thousands over the 8 years or so he's been doing it . if you've a spare tenner .... https://www.facebook.com/675685049/videos/324704370532621/ https://www.justgiving.com/page/james-rushforth-1703101468760?utm_campaign=lc_frp_share_transaction_fundraiser_page_launched&utm_content=d468b5b1-cee0-4cc2-8af8-3662d3760cb5&utm_medium=email&utm_source=postoffice&utm_term=1703101811341 <iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fjames.rushforth.58%2Fvideos%2F324704370532621%2F&show_text=false&width=560&t=0" width="560" height="314" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe>
  4. Nice to see some' positive ' vibes coming to a club trying to establish itself in a non traditional area ... Firstly the Alexander argument ..just visit the main stadium and see why the club is still unable to use the main arena , plenty of areas still fenced off and construction/ removal of temporary facilities work going on .. As for taking a game on the road , as the only pro club in the area why the hell not, spread the word ? .. Derby RU have been supporting with training facilities and the Hurricanes have a couple of local based / produced players ..Bit of a no -brainer .. If you just want want to an M62 dinosaur and believe everything south of Sheffield is Rugby League hell then why not just come out and say that rather than pick pick pick from behind your keyboard when teams are trying to do something different ..
  5. The Barrow name came about after they 'merged' with the Carlisle Club who were known as the Border Raiders , which looking at the City's geographical position and history was probably one of the more well thought out club nicknames of the the time,though obviously not for a club many miles from the Scottish border hence the fairly quick transformation to just plain Raiders for Barrow Barrow ironically were for a time known as the Braves with a similar badge and branding to that that has been replaced at Exeter Chiefs ( foam tomahawk anyone ) so were it not for the Raiders moniker we could have been looking at rugby league being under the same scrutiny as RU and American Football is at present over club names .
  6. Slate Hemel all you want but one of the massive advantages they had over the vast majority of L1 / Championship M62 clubs was a ground and cash generating facilities of their own , basic they may have been but they were theirs and theirs only .. sure the likes of Oldham Swinton Sheffield and London Broncos would love to be in that situation ..but hey whats does that matter Stags teams was not the best because of their geographical location .. seriously ????
  7. Fav shirt has got to be Keighleys 1995 Premiership Shirt. It may have looked like someone had been on 'some real serious s**' during the design phase and quite honestly was a visual monstrosity but its ' uniqueness' so fitted what was happening at probably the pinnacle of the Cougarmania Era. Mine (plus the matching shorts) is unlikely to make more than a fleeting appearance out of my wardrobe , (yellow stars and claw marks look even more ridiculous on my now middle aged spread today than they did 23 years ago) but for memories its a shirt you cant beat
  8. Just like to pass on my congratulations to Gary ... Our trips to Fev are never complete without a trip to the ' Blue Lagoon ' and a few beverages in the company of Gary and his compadres and their 'sparkling wit and repartee ' (p***takin to most normal folk !). Well done mate. On a weekend that seems to be have been soured for most regular RL fans by the actions of a few morons, his award has been one bright spot and is richly deserved. Mines a lager lads.... Rach Keighley Cougars
  9. Gonna put my final two pennath in on this post.....my post was in the main to thank the 99.9% of Fev fans , who from the point of view of myself n the rest of the bar staff were a JOY to have in the place... Can you lot please take the praise that was given your way ??.. One individual spoiled it (from our point of view ) for the rest of you ...my argument was not particularly his bad language , (we are all responsible me included ,for 'industrial language ' slipping out watching a game , whether it be aimed at the ref , the opposition or indeed our own team when things are not going the way they want ) ..... What more concerned me was his reaction / responses when challenged , most supporters would say 'ok mate fair cop' .. (we all know,me included, yet again, when we've possibly over done it and moderate our behavior to suit ..) but his was aggressive, reactionary and not appropriate to the situation .. Sat night in Fev / Wakey /Ponty maybe but not in a crowd where you have got a percentage of young kids ... Bob ...take your comments on board fair play mate ....and will maybe take it up the relevant people .. apologies if I stepped out of line ..... similarly Robin points taken ....BUT Its just get annoying when particular individuals screw it up for everyone else, including the average visiting supporter, and then think acting the 'hardman 'is going to be effective ... As I said before my initial posting was to THANK the Fev following.... you've some fantastic fans ....please take this the right way PS Petesmithfan ...this incident took place outside the bar n believe me i've sorted out more bar room altercations n beer fueled individuals in a number of years serving the thirsty masses than Fev have got league points in 2010 .. I dont need your career advice
  10. Just a massive thanks to the 'regular ' Fev Fans & Players n Officials who came in the Hall of Fame bar today at Cougar Park..you were magnificent , patient ,polite and good humored ... THANK YOU CAN'T SAY NO MORE APART YOU ARE A CREDIT TO YOUR CLUB :D :D BUT one of your number who claimed to be a Fev Director when brought to task by our stewards for his 'choice vocabulary ' claimed' You cant say anything cause Im a Fev Director you cant say nowt .. `nd I'm only shouting abuse at my own team ' should really get a life ... and realize that bad language and aggressive behavior that he showed towards our stewards and other supporters when asked to moderate his language ,SHOULD be challenged ............ no if.. no buts Personally dont give a monkeys who anyone is .....whatever their position within a club .......everyone is entitled to their own moan a the ref , opposition, opposing fans whatever within reason , we all do it (hands up across the board ) but language like he proffered has no place in our game ... especially with kids present ...no excuses Hate writing this when the rest of the FEV support was 100% but in my eyes 1 individual screwed it for the rest .....
  11. Have watched Keighley play one off's against the Crusaders at maesteg RUFC Against Blackpool at Blackpool Mechanics FC Can also remember watching Chorley tak on Villneuve in a Challenge Cup game at Preston Grasshoppers
