I'm up for a few beers and a laugh with any fax fans who want to get a round in (that is providing you get there of course

)

He was 5 yards offside though when they tapped the ball.

The icing on this cake would be if plod could arrest the piece SHXT that did so much harm to another human being ...

nah looked dead level from my seat,

Bring it on then sunshine get a coach that isnt stuck in the 70s and try it

Powell has merely copied that Aussie bloke Nathan Brown and brought an unpleasant feature of the game down here to our hallowed competition.

The only way to play against this type of niggly cheating is to either cheat back (which we at Fax would NEVER do because of our high moral principles) OR nobble the referee before the match. I'd go with the second option.

At the mo it looks pleasant enough from where I sit Richie!!

If Fax played that style of rugby i would stop watching im affraid, Each to their own but i find it slow and boring watching laying on tactics, Dont get me wrong as a fev fan you are winning so thats all that matters but as a neutral i find it boring, I much prefer the faster game which was supposed to be the way the game was headed and at the begining of the season the RFL brought something in for the refs that was supposed to speed up play of the balls, Look at the NRL, Fast flowing big hitting Rugby league.

Must say though your line speed is awesome at the moment and you dont need to slow it down so much.

Having said all that tonights game will be one man mud rugby if it goes ahead and will be poor viewing, I hope Karl has come up with something new this week. We will wait and see.

well it's been howling it down for most of the morning here in Rovrum tho this last ten mins it's slowed to a drizzle. The DVS drains well so unless the Riven Don has risen 30 feet I'm not expecting the game to be postponed.
I'm making one in for t'laugh! Summer rugby my fat ginger botty!

I was in Rovrum in your neck of the woods Robin in Rawmarsh doing some work for 2010 when the last deluge happened and boy did it come down, lets hope it doesn't get as bad this time round irrespective of tonights game it's hard to descibe the mess it left in many areas if you didn't see it first hand.

The tactics Fev employ are the type tha will turn people off if they want to watch he game for its entertainment factor, die hards of any team will probably love it if their team employ them and win.
Personally the open rugby we played at Fax over the last few years was so exciting to watch it (occasionally) make up for the odd loss, though it was still frustrating but 'd have any of our 6's back at the moment.

Rawmarsh eh??? That's where I live - straight across from the big park on the hill!!! It's like Helman province in some areas - and it's very pleasant in others - but when the rains came t'other year boy did it come down! The don and dearne both burst their banks leaving a lot of folk still counting the cost.

It's still grim here and I dread to think what the outcomne would be if there is another day like this. No matter how the pitch drains, it's been fairly torrential al day. I'd keep checking with your club before setting off.
