I hope not!  I want to see the Josh McCrone/Stanislas Robin show next week!  With guest appearances from Gareth O'Brien/Mark Khierallah

You might not as Stan has been caught spitting.

TO in full flight did what they do best on the front foot.  Ford allowed to play and York without the punch to pressure them.  Just not good enough today to stay in the fight.  TO, though, very good.

A scoreboard would be handy on this broadcast.

I think it's 40-6.

Toulouse look good. I'm glad they're moving ground though because that one looks awful.

It is awful. It's a long tram ride away from town.  They charged us (Fev fans) to enter but appeared to be letting French fans in for nowt, no ticket no cash, just walk in.

Yes, that's right Fev fans get charged, everyone else is free.

As for the ground, well they did think about knocking down Capitol in the centre to make it easier for everyone and building a ground there but the city elders said no...the bastards. Next year, you can take a long tram ride out to Stade Toulouse instead.

Not sure mate but Grade E will be in the RFL charging structure on their website - I cant get it.

Quite common in France.  And biting.

I've never seen it before...  and biting... wasn't TWP Bussey banned for 8 matches for biting a TO guy? 

The spitting was accidental as i've mentioned on another forum. But if Fev win tomorrow expect Robin to be band. The tribunal will sort it out, best not to second guess.

Don't suppose it was just Fev fans who got charged. And the ground is not exactly convenient.  For that matter the metro system is a load of ######.  ON the way home the train broke down 50 yards from the station.  Apparently it's always doing it. We nearly missed out flight.

Never had a problem with the Metro in Toulouse, other than when the  Gillet Jaune are active as then the metro is full of CS gas. I'll try  the Fev metro next time i'm there, just as a comparison

Could you move the Fev ground closer to Manchester Airport ? I have to take a bus to Lux airport, then a flight, bus to the car rental and then traverse the M62 and try and find the Fev ground. It's not convenient. In fact could you ask the management to move the Fev ground to Luxembourg? Far more convenient for me

Can you fly to Leeds from either Lux or Carca?

Fev are in Featherstone, get it Featherstone Rovers, in Featherstone, not Manchester Rovers in Manchester.

Just because you live in a big city that's no reason to take the ###### out of those of us who don't.  Featherstone is a small former mining village, population 12,000.  Despite this disadvantage they have won the RLCC three times and been runners up twice.  They have also won the championship when it was a top flight comp. Perhaps when Toulouse have done the same you'll be entitled to sneer. After all you only won on the 7th because the ref didn't allow two perfectly good tries.  Were you there BTW or did you stay away like the majority of Toulouse supporters?  Unlike the Fev fans who paid entry to your ###### ground.

That’s what I’ve heard. He was giving some verbal aggression ( happens ) and spit came out of his mouth uncontrollably.

i imagine a video analysis of his facial muscles by the tribunal will see if that’s a truth or a lie.  Funny how people seem to spit when they get angry.  We’ll see, or we won’t see. 

It’ll be sad if he’s banned as he’s a key attack player.

It's a good response.

In cities of course league is never going to be the primary sport it is in places such as Featherstone or Batley.

I thought the forum concerning Fev. fans blaming the Ref. every time they lost had been locked.Seems like Trojan has managed a way round it.

Perhaps if Kiggy had kept his sneering to himself I wouldn't have had the chance.  He didn't so I did.
