I saw the interviews by Brierley and the boss, but both of those were quite respectful. Was there something elsewhere? Surprisingly, although TWP looks like they are still ramping up fitness wise, they did pretty well. Dumping them on there ###### , he meant , beating them convincingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aha, still getting a handle on the terminology you use in the UK. I was one of the TWP fans who was not convinced they would beat them handily. I am surprised. Happy but surprised.

RogerT Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 That's fine Captain Survival when people are new to others yes the local language can be confusing no doubt as we will find out when we get over there, in the mean time enjoy yourselves. There as been many exciting games with Leigh over the years, some have been romps(easy) others have had to be toughed out, the only problem I can see with Leigh's venue is that it is soulless but modern and not hard to find or reach.

phildog Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Gittins fan, I was at the match v Cas when Geldard was dumped and broke his ankle. We beat Halifax 3-0 away in the cup in 1964, try by Malcolm Shuttleworth, should have been 5 but Peter Bateson missed the kick from about a yard to the right of the sticks! Graham, never did get to find out what you'd heard from the sackings!!! FuiFui is playing clap for Bradford and Bingley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerT Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I was stood on the top terracing near the railings when they carried Geldard round, didn't look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerT Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Yes Manchester 12.20 on the 12th, a very good flight time, I'm staying in a backpacker type of establishment, I don't mind that as I was looking last night on trivago they kept coming up with this is now sold out due to the height of the season.

The criminal abuse of the apostrophe. The inability to differentiate between 'there,' 'their and 'they're'; 'being' and 'been.' Need I go on?

Their, there, they're, never mined, we mustn't loose perspective. (You missed "should of" and "would of".) Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
