Watched the highlights (twice!) and cannot for the life of me see where a fax player was offside as the hooter sounded ..... Pele threw the ball back inside and we patted it out. Then the penalty at the end ...... Bradford knocked it on so (surely?) that should be the "first" decision before any penalty for fisty cuffs which went on after, unless I don't know the rules. I'm loathe to criticise referees because it's a hard job, but yesterday's ref was bloody awful!

Well, last night's wander around town was very pleasant, Lol! A great ending to our Shay season and gives us hope for the future. MotM for me was Salty with special praise also for Tangata, Keyes, Gee and Larroyer who I thought had his best game ever in a Fax shirt! To say the difference in position and spend between the two teams the only player i would have taken from the bulls on yesterday's performance would be Evan Scurr who had a stormer as sub. Well done lads. Elland Craft & Tap, North Riding US Session 3.8% Mmm! Up The Fax!

Mick hears half a story, puts 2 and 2 together and gets 5

He said Crooks was leaving us for Cas, a few weeks later its announced he is doing some voluntary coaching there to gain experience.

Said Murrell was coming as head coach, few days later League Express report Murrell has turned down an assistants role.

He has form for being wrong, a lot.

And these are not even the two best Halifax-related gaffes of recent years. Remember when he said Fax were looking to sign Sam Luckley from Salford and Ollie Roberts from Huddersfield, and both players replied on Twitter basically saying "news to me"? And then after his "season-long loan" story on Roberts turned out to be false, he claimed it as true when Roberts played on DR 6 months after he wrote his initial tweet.

I’m sure half of his statements are taken from the rumours off the forums and he just adds his own bit of shall we say “inventiveness.

Whilst he does it with every club he loves to sh*t stir it with Fax at every opportunity followed by whoever Bradford’s nearest rivals are such as your own club Fev regularly in the past.

We all speculate with varying degrees of accuracy the difference is we’re not journalists and you would expect something a bit better when it’s your profession.

I think he is a hobbyist, he masquerades as a journalist hiding behind various accounts to try and look more credible.

After some of his previous antics it makes you wonder how he gets a press pass. Unless there is a scheme where you collect 5 crisp packets and get one.

Mick seems to have some kind of inside information regarding halifax but not sure who the source is , he also used to do the full 80 mins with a couple of agents so they probably back feed him information- noticed one of them was doing the co -comms with him on bulls TV forgot is name now but he has lots of dealings with Sheffield eagles .

I once saw MG in a pub in Fax, he was a decent enough chap albeit a tad eccentric with a passion for his team. I did let him know my feelings for the bulls so perhaps i'm partly to blame for his rantings regarding Fax. Lol!

Yep, that was his mate Jimmy but between him and Mick, Jimmy comes across as being the more balanced by far of the two.

I think it was the SMTM guy, Craig Harrison?, so presuming a lot of the info is leaked from him and when it comes to agents is usually to try and drive up prices to clubs.

It does seem to be true that Muzza has been offered the job but if he takes or not wll be another matter. Some idle gossip on Sunday was that all new singings for next season have been given the option of getting out of their contracts. I have no idea how true it is but it would make sense as any new coach is going to want to bring their own players in rather than have a full pre season/season with someone elses signings.

The first time the I heard the rumour of players being given the option to look elsewhere to secure a safer deal was when the chance of us going bust hit the news so whether what you heard Sunday is connected with that and or Muzza coming in?

Should Finn go then any coach coming in now at this late stage will be stuck with a large part of the present squad and any signings already on the dotted line as most players will have been signed up to clubs months ago.

Trying to find available players of quality at this late stage will be nigh on impossible. There may be a few young SL players that are being offloaded free but any of those that have the ability to improve our squad will have gone.

TThat is my opinion , but hope it is wrong.
