Black will live the rest of his life wondering how he did not score that try. No doubt he was in pieces after the game, both he and royston were in tears.

Not a single Halifax fan will hold it against them. We support them in everything they do and Gateshead should be very very worried next week. Get the record books out

Chin up lads, disappointing result but we'll do them if we meet them in the play-offs. Black will be gutted but he'll win plenty more games for us this year - he's not the reason we lost today's game.

Great game and atmosphere, proud to be watching the best fax team in 10 years.

I've never seen such ungracious losers in all my life. I suppose you all missed a blatant knock on just before one of your trys and clear crossing for your last try; so blatant the Widnes players just stopped.

You were beaten by the better team on the day so deal with it, instead of inventing lame excuses.

Here here, Those lads should be proud of their achievements this year, best team to watch BY A COUNTRY MILE. They can come through this and kick on to destroy the rest of the season.

I will be at the Stobart (if thats what its called this week) to watch us deliver the best revenge, cold and sweet

Jeez - there's a blast from the past.
I thought you'd shuffled off this mortal coil.

Really feel for Blacky today. Just waiting for Tony Fax's response. Not sure what he'll say about Mr Black?

the ref left the ground with an escort - a very bad day at the office for him

Congrats to widnes for taking your chances - can't wait for the next match with you

Male or female? And how much did he pay?

Wow wouldnt buy any grapes from any of the fruit stores in halifax


Bitter as ....

Laughton and his terrible assistants were a shambles today. I hope they feel good accepting their paychecks. How old was the kid running the line on the Skircoat side in the 1st half, he looked scared stiff. The RFL should hang their heads in shame appointing such in-adequate fools for such an important fixture.

Five drives and a kick!!! Enjoyed the Kick and Clap of the Lions much more than your lack of invention, up the middle and wait ofr a penalty tactic!!

11-3 penalty count. Whatever happened to home refs?

Appalling performance today from the ref. Both teams strayed off-side but he only penalised one. What a goat.
