I think the decision that set Penky off was the one in the first half where he got tackled and it was the last tackle and the Fev player held him down in what was easily the slowest play the ball of the game. It was as clear a penalty that you will ever see but instead the ref dosnt give the penalty and Penky says something and instead we get penalised. To be to Hewer you know what you get when he is named to ref and the coaches should be stressing this to the players. Its very rare he gives penalties for holding down and in that respect i think that Fev played the ref better than we did.

THOUGHT WE SHOWED UP WELL YESTERDAY!

THEY WERE CERTAINLY UP FOR IT, AND AFEW 50/50 CALLS AND A BOUNCE OF THE BALL AND I THINK WE WOULD HAVE WON.

WE WERE THE BETTER TEAM IN THE SECOND HALF, AND IF ONLY BANNISTER HADNT KNOCKED ON ON 1ST TACKLE, WITH US ON THEIR LINE WITH 5 TACKLES LEFT, I THINK WE WOULD HAVE SCORED AND GONE ONTO WIN.

AIZUE, JONES AND ROB WERE AGAIN TOP CLASS.

FULL OF POSSITIVES.

WE NEED A BIG WIN ON SUNDAY, AS SHEFF WERE POOR YESTERDAY.

UP THE FAX, WELL KICK ON FROM HERE, NO PROBS!

Thread trimmed to keep it on topic.

" a bounce of the ball" are you joking? the ball bounced right into the hands of White and Jones to give them clear runs to the line! You scored one try off your own work, I would not be getting carried away. Do not get me wrong they all count and have to be scored, had the bounce gone the other way on them kicks you would have been in real trouble.

PS Is big bad Sam Barlow still playing for you

I know one of the officials on Sun and he told me Penky was binned for saying "ow f off Gareth" which i find unbelievable really, i have played amateur rugby for over 30 years and everyone knows you swear at any official and your walking, he was lucky he only got binned. He must have rocks in his head

I was picking up on something someone else said about the bounce of the ball, the fact is two of your tries came from the bounce of the ball going your way. Nothing to do with being ungracious and its pretty lame trying to suggest that this is a forum and I was commenting on something sombody else had written.

Correct some of our tries probably did come off the back of some of your mistakes, but not directly like yours we also made plenty of mistakes and yet you failed to capitalise in the manner we did! I will grant you one try came directly from Penky trying to take Matty dales head off instead of tackling him which I guess was a mistake!

But (he says trying to flog this dead horse).

There were many other incidents that fail to be reported by yourself. And if the bounce of the ball on a few occasions had gone our way then it could have been different..... I think that is the point that someone else was alluding to.

The point being made was this was a pretty good showing by the team after the poor performances of late, you tried to make it into something else....

Looking at it that way a couple of our tries came because your players arnt very fast. I class missed tackles as scoring directly off mistakes as well.

Nash had the ball, he was tackled, touch judge on , and he was penalised? possibly leading with the elbow?
That's when Penky got 10 minutes, I think.

That's exactly how it was John! Penky's 10 mins didn't cost fax in the long run! But effin and jeffin at the Touchie is barmy! It's only ever going to put your team under pressure.
The officials collective opinion on Sunday was that the Fax discipline left a fair bit to be desired.
Fax were better than I expected.
Fev are still not as good as last year and for some reason just can't kill a game off this term. Missing Zac's finishing!

Were are in the market for some players and some of yours will be on the market soon.

Equally, with a few more bounces you could have got absolutely melted!

End of the day - the score reflected the game [sizeI THINK![/size

THATS IT, WAS A GOOD GAME....AN THE MORE 'CONTROLED' TEAM WON, JUST...THE SCORELINE FLATTERED YOU, YOU CANT ARGUE WITH THAT.

WITH FOUR MINS WE WERE LOOKING LIKELY TO GET THE DRAW....WHITE DOESNT STEP ON LINE, AND WE WOULD HAVE, [sizeI THINK[/size

ITS ALL 'IFS AND BUTS' IN SPORT...WHICH IS WHY WE ATTEND, NO?

SEE YOU IN THE SEMI
