Unfortunately, there was only 1 idiot coach or us Fax fans would have enjoyed today but he does seem intent on stopping us enjoying anything rugby related until we compete against Illingworth, Elland and Siddall A in the Halifax Supplementary Cup

Total bollox, fat toothless moron in south stand jumping about goading elderly fans who were there for the rugby. Utter scratter of the worst order. I thought it was about rugby, clearly not for some, it's dicks like him who end up causing massive kickoffs in stands. He was that hammered he could hardly keep his eyes open. There were young kids there, mine included, he was in the wrong pure and simple but then you get others backing him up. I like most Leigh fans but this upper unfortunately tarnishes you all.

| Umm I agree with most of what you say but an elderly lady was shoved around and swore at by a small group of Leigh fans on the steps who had clearly had a few too many. Banter I don't mind but there fronting up was beyond that....

| Quote: halifaxjohn "Not sure whether I am feeling disappointed or devastated.
At half time even though Leigh had scored in the last minute I remarked how poor they were, how wrong, however we still should have won.
No sour grapes,
First point
Two very poor refereeing/line and decisions, as regular readers will know I have never every said a bad word about referees, often defending them (and that is not a joke) but today, my goodness, one of their tries in the corner, left hand side, they knocked on, we knocked on, they picked it up and we scored. Another try, why didn't the linesman see it was easily forward?
Second point, as regular readers will know I have never criticised our coaching staff, so much so that I have been accused of having my head in the sand, and I won't start now, I just ask, forgetting bad calls from the officials, which coach did a better job at half time?
Third and final point, I could go on, Leigh came to fight, we were well up at half time so why get drawn into it? I know it's difficult for players to stand back and ignore the provocation, and it's also up to the officials to spot what's going on, but we fell into their trap.
As I say no sour grapes but I hope we never turn into a team of thugs simply to win.
On the whole as I said at the start of this post, I'm not sure whether I'm disappointed or devastated, but I'm still a FAXFAN.
See you all at Barra.
It seems the provocation started earlier in the week with some of his ex colleagues ringing him at home

| yes we played great in the first half, Leigh had a kick up the backside and came out a different team, but cast your minds back 12 months, Leigh came to the Shay after playing a SL side in the Cup, got hammered 60-6 if I remember. Some strange tries, poor play by us, but I did not welcome the beer shower from the Leigh "fans"Barrow next week chins up Lads.

| Harrison out coached by Rowley again. Who else would send a buffoon on like Barlow with the express intent of stopping Halifax play by engaging in thuggery and fighting? It totally derailed our attack. Also at half time I fully expected a massive Leigh fight back. If ever we are 24 points down I NEVER feel like any kind of comeback is on the cards. OK, I did witness such a fight back a couple of year ago (away at Leigh ironically) but we are currently so predictable. The first half was exquisite - totally thrilling. The second half was an unspeakable car crash.
I have never felt so down after a match as I did after today's and I saw must of 2003's matches. Effing annoying!!!

Missed that one, who rang who?
Not sure whoever it was would have rung whoever it was on a home phone!
If you had said on his mobile then we would have believed, how did they get his home number,
What point are you trying to make.

| Lovely story to add to today's shenanigans. Did Barlow's agent put that smelly one out?

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

So if you kept getting threatning/abusive calls, you would keep answering them Dereck?
Or was it just pre match ' posturing ' ?
Not an excuse , He's got away with it because his team mates bailed him out, 9 times out of 10 it would have killed any chance of a come back, he owes a few beers tonight

That sounds like Tommy he's no thug , like his drink but he doesn't fight, he lost his teeth at Fev a couple year back when they kicked off with us on their car park .

| Disappointed with the loss. Disappointed with the performance. Disappointed with Harrison yet again with his interviews etc. I dont think Harrison should be offered another contract as once again we throw away a game. A couple of things must be questioned.
FITNESS - Players should not be so tired that after a week since the last game they cant tackle and put much effort. I remeber in the 80s where we was playing somtimes 5 games in 2 weeks and yet still won games. Yes the players are part time but why do we alarmingly become so tired and poor in the second half of games? Leigh have had a tough cup game as well last week and yet even with 12 men apparently looked fitter than us.
ATTITUDE - Starts with the Coach and he just comes up with lame excuses and saying he doesnt do HT talks etc. That doesnt sound very professional to me and no doubt the players will make excuses just like the coach does. 24-0 up at one point. Harrison is on Radio Leeds and it comes across as he doesnt take the defeat and poor performance that seriously. Even allowing for the 2 dodgy tries, its a poor attitude that sees a team, for me, that is at 24-0 with 42 minutes to play lose 28-36. Wheres the leaders on the field? I just come away from listening to Harrison and reading and sometimes seeing games and think the attitude for me is wrong. Maybe I am wrong here but I am not impressed with how he does things
SQUAD . I fail to see why we loaned out Brown when we have Johnson out injured. Maybe Brown wanted more game time- Then he has to earn it!! We see quality finishers and match winners left kicking their heels while we stick fullbacks and centres on the wing. A fullback that is caught out of position and done for speed at centre. We have a SL Lock playing at Stand Off. Why are we playing players out of position so often. We have youngsters that are rarely given much chance to show what they can do- Holden last year, Brookes this year. The players that often are brought in are often good honest players, but not ones that are top quality.

It was Tommy, one of your lads told me when he was struggling trying ask for a pint in the bar before the game, then had no idea where he was supposed to be standing in the second half, bit like our defence.

Seems a fair comment to me and Casey gets a game week in, week out.

| I agree about Brookes but we werent beat in the forwards today. We were beat on the fringes, Heaton not good enough, if Cowling is fit and has been dropped then Harrison needs to go as he obviously has personal issues with players that get in the way of coaching. I cant begin to fathom the loaning of Brown, Harrison has some explaining to do!
