Quote: Fax4Life "Blimey if anything could go wrong it did today, first up we get that ginger g*t Stokes as Ref yet again for a Fev match why???
Then Ben Kaye is out with a cut hand (he did it at work I believe).
Fev come with a boatload of DR players how many was it 5?
A dropped ball costs us their first try (good hands by Fev to be fair in the move from the set of 6 following).
Miles gets badly injured with what looks like a long term injury too!
Then a soft try and Fev are 10 nil up and the game looked up for us the way we were playing.
We did battle back and got a lucky try, we then got on top for a long spell but did not take our chances (some poor passes cost us)
Murrell gets sin binned (jury out on that one he did hit him a bit late).
The ginger one gives them a penalty for what even Fevs fans and players did not appeal for and they go and score what looked like the game breaker but again we battled our way back into it and scored and had them rocking only to suffer a try from a spawny ricochet and it really was game over only to have to suffer what felt like an eternity before the hooter was blown at 4.52pm!
There was a lack of atmosphere today from both sets of fans and a poor turn out as well from both teams only 2187.
For me both teams will struggle to get into the top 4 on this showing, we both could be also ran's we have a tough set of games coming up this was a game we needed to win.
So we lose to the flat cappers for the 7th time at home on the bounce, we must have really upset somebody upstairs (when we beat them in those Finals and semi finals) to have to suffer that statistic surely our turn will come, please???'"
a penalty count bypass I believe......12-6 in your favour......not enough? we or the players don't need to appeal for the ref to give us a pen.....4 DR(jury out on that one too)......poor game from stokes(agreed).....sounds bad for miles, hope he makes a full recovery......lack of atmosphere(agreed)....on recent performances some fev fans had us down to get beat, and ya right both teams will need to step up a gear to secure a top 4 place.....a wins a win when its not pretty, esp away from home, but over the 80 we edged it I feel, you obvious didn't take advantage of the penaltys given
