Including Fev then. Now you've said it.
There are bad apples in every barrel. That's life. But this doesn't mean that the Bulls fans are totally innocent. In my experience they are arrogant. Contemptible when winning are whingers when losing. IMO they need a further period of correction in the championship.

Hahaha.
Go on then ill give you the time of day.
What other reason would have a dozen drunken scroats have for moving at half time to stand above the tunnel, in to what is widely known to be the area where the most vocal home fans situate?
Especially given Fev were attacking the Rooley Lane end of the ground where the majority of there own fans were already stood?
I never said there were some bad apples in the Fev barrel. There are in every barrel, and having seen Bulls fans' behaviour at close hand on many occasions I doubt they were all as innocent as the driven snow. When the Bulls first came to PO Road the first game of the season after they were relegated, they strutted about as if they owned the place and were extremely and vocally very rude. 6 and 2 3's

Unreliable source?
I was stood 10m from the trouble causing scroats and saw it with my own eyes.
and you of course are totally unbiased

Sad to say another week another game marred by Fev fans.
Half a dozen drunken chav numpties who in the second half decided to come and stand in the middle of the Bulls fans directly above the tunnel. Only one thing on their mind was to cause trouble and obviosly they did.
Spitting at families, and trying their best to start a scrap with anyone. Eventually it kicked off turning in to a nasty situatation, thankfully the stewards were on it and manged to kick 5 of them out of the ground.
We say it almost every week but Fev really have got a big problem within their fan base.
All these anti Fev reports at Bradford come from the same unreliable source every time. He's a known one eyed entitled Bulls fan intent on stopping Fev if he can

Hugely surprised
Except of course it was the Bulls doing the spitting. But don't let the facts get in the way of a good anti Fev story

We've been living in Lincs for three years. An NHS dentist is not to be had, so we time some of our visits back to Leeds to coincide with dental appointments at our NHS dentist

Indeed, knowing a bit about how Huddersfield are run, I would say they are well run, despite relying mainly, but not solely on Ken Davy's millions (another myth around Huddersfield).
We haven't had to cheat the salary cap or pay players wives as hospitality workers etc, we haven't terminated contracts of multiple players, we haven't gone bust or had to get the begging buckets out.
Thankfully, there's also funds/trusts and things put in place for when Ken does leave us, so another myth potentially busted.
Are Warrington really that well rwun? are Leigh? Wigan? probably, Saints appear to be but who knows as there's varying definitions of well run rugby clubs.
TBH Leigh remind me of the great Wakey side of the 60's. Championship wins, Challenge and County cups.. In 1968 they were champions and runners up at Wembley. In 1969 they were having to sell players and had the begging bowl out, "save Trinity." Why? Because the whole show was financed by a man called Geoffrey Fell, and when he was killed in a motor accident, his family wanted the money out. If I were Del Boy I'd get rid of the Lamborghini.

Fair play to him. I was sorry to see him leave Fev. Seems like a nice guy.

Sean Long to Wire, Powell to Fev, where he belongs. Maybe for next season tho'

I hate Golden Point but at this stage of the season a replay would surely damage the chances of both teams in the League.And we must remember the highlight of the season is the Super League Grand Final.Or not depending on your view Cas won the League easily for the first time in their history.Then got walloped by Leeds in the final.So a great season for supporters ended poorly.
I feel sudden death is so unsatisfactory. One minute it's all happening the next it's all over. We have a nine month season, surely there should be room for replays. From the financial aspect, the biggest UK RL crowd ever was for a replay.

That was a close game, tense, controversial, and dramatic.
What more can you ask for.
Congratulations HKR
A replay instead of the sudden let down of sudden death?

No one seems to be mentioning Happy Valley, aside from the superb scripts, and brilliant acting of Sarah Lancashire and Siobhan Finneran, as an exile I love seeing the scenes set in Calderdale etc. Real Rugby League heartlands country. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be

I like the Fray Benyos Uraguan style corned beef but the Irish style is more to my liking. It's "Corned" as in salted and is more like Yiddish salt beef.
I had corned beef in a cafe on Long Island NY. It was nothing like what we get here, it was delicious.

I was unfortunate enough to hire a cruiser on the Thames during regatta week. The behaviour of the sub Bullingdon club yobbos on some of the launches was appalling. Plus the delays it caused. If I'd realised beforehand I wouldn't have done it that week. But I'd made a promise to my daughter to visit London, and we left from Benson Cruiser station hell bent on getting to Windsor by Monday before we turned around.

Couldn't bat, said he didn't see why bowlers had to bat!

After an unfortunate experience first time out in a Chinese restaurant in Leeds you couldn't get me near one for years. If I went out for a meal it was steak and chips, or fish and chips. However SWMBO finally persuaded me to give Chinese another chance. We went to the Peony on Commercial Street in Leeds, neither of which are there any more. She suggested chicken curry and chips (not very Chinese) and it came, it was a chicken leg covered in curry sauce and a pile of chips. I loved it and we started going regularly to various Chinese places in Leeds, and then when the take-aways opened up using them. But it was usually curry for me.
We went on holiday to London. B&B, so we ate out every night. We'd been in the Chinese, and the Angus Steak House, and various other restaurants. Neither of us had dared do into an Indian. We ventured into one on Edgeware Road. From start to finish I was sold.
When we got home we searched to various places in Leeds - Koh-i-Noor, Ashoka, and the Yorkshire Curry centre to duplicate our London experience, and while we didn't quite manage it we were hooked.
I bought Madhur Jaffery's Indian cookery book, and started searching for ingredients, mainly on Chapeltown Road. I experimented and made a reasonable curry. It was only after I discovered the Pakistani supermarkets in Bradford that I found the knack. I cook curry all the time now. So from a total curry abstainer, I've become a fiend.
Best Indian restaurant I've tried? Sheesh Mahal in Bradford. Trouble is I now live 90 miles away from it

Follow the thread for a potted history of Vesta ready-meals.
First paella I ever ate was a Vesta one. After years of trying to like prawns, shrimps, crab and other crustaceans, I finally decided about 30 years ago to give up trying to like them. So i'd never even attempt a paella these days, even a Vesta one.
We used also to buy the Vesta Chow Mein with the crispy noodles that fluffed up in the oil, quite liked them. The Vesta curry was disgusting, it had raisins and sultanas in it.

I recall Lorimer's disallowed goal in the 1975 European Cup Final. Even Bayern admit today that it was a goal. That and Beckenbaur's rugby tackle n the box on Clarke gave Bayern the cup and caused the subsequent riot.
I remember Leeds signing Lorimer. He was only 15 but never really lost his Scottish twang.

Tommy Doc
Two Tommy Doc anecdotes. He promised to have Rotherham out of the second division in a season, he did, into the third. And when he was a player at Preston with the great Tom Finney. In those days, in the summer, players were on a "retainer." Finney was getting £15 pw Tommy only £10. He complained to the manager and was told that it was because Finney was a better player than he was. "not in summer he's not" was the reply.

Not a Bond fan, but I find it hard to accept anyone but him as Bond. Best Bond film by miles IMO is From Russia With Love, although the plot does creak a little now and then. However, the best film I've seen Connery in is The First Great Train Robbery with Donald Sutherland. The judge at his trial asks why he robbed the train "I wanted the money" was his cool reply!

Or ITV, as Cannon & Ball was a tv show for a Saturday night for 9 years for them.
In 1989 they were appearing at The Futurist in Scarborough. Their cars were parked on the flat roof of the theatre, and our apartment over looked them. Every night after the performance they would come out and get into their car. One night my daughter went down and got their autographs.

Diana Rigg, born in Doncaster, went to Fulneck Moravian School near Pudsey. Her father was the manager of Turner Machinery at Bramley. Obviously she's best known for Emma Peel in The Avengers, the role I remember her in was the jealous mother in Mother Love.

IMG Grading System (Many Merged Threads)
in The General Rugby League Forum
Posted
It's been contracting really since the introduction of SL and summer rugby. From what I've been reading the supply of amateurs coming through is also drying up. The cause of this IMO is the egregious licencing. We are now feeling the effects of the loss of interest in the game this caused. God knows what can be done to rectify the problem. But the IMG proposals aint it.
