Good game yesterday, thought we went really well considering half our team and the coach were down under 3 weeks ago.

Should really have a been a Rovers win, absolute howler from the officials on the kick and chase try. Watching the video it's as clear a knock on as you'll ever see and the ref was a maximum of 3 feet away, staring straight at it. But I'm sure we'll get one in our favour at some point to even things out.

Didn't see what kicked the trouble off, but there was an atmosphere from both sets of fans. I suspect that the truth of it lies somewhere between the accounts of both sets of fans.

I agree that it's creeping in a little too much, I can only speak for the Rovers fans I see. But some of them need to either calm down the boozing, or learn how to take their ale better. One of the coaches came from one of the local boozers, which was open for drinking way before the bus left, which I find ridiculous.

Good luck for the rest of the season, except when you come to Fev.

The wife bumped into Swearing Johnny recently.

Was he having a pee? He did used to collect it.

I dunno, apparently the air was blue with expletives.

And Johnny, did he say anything?

Agree with everything here. To be honest I thought he was going to go in and out and beat the FB for pace! Alas he didn’t. Just impressed by his attacking play especially in those conditions. Could be in for a shout with top try scorer come season’s end!

In fairness to him, I've often looked at the sinks in the bogs at Odsal and thought if I didn't already know, I could easily mistake them for pee troughs if I wasn't paying attention. Add into that a less than average IQ and a large amount of beer, and I can see how the mistake would be easily made. I doubt he's the first and unless the sinks get replaced, I can't see him being the last.

I really object to this comment. I attended the game with a pal of mine. We had a pint in the Top House and a pint in the club bar. We watched the game and cheered for Fev. We did not get involved in any fighting, goading, or any other activity likely to cause a breach of the peace. And yet we are all classed as scum!

All clubs have a minority of fans hell bent in causing trouble. As you said , numerous fans from BOTH clubs could or should have been thrown out. Does that make Bulls fans scum as well? Clearly the vast majority of Bulls fans are well behaved and a credit to their club just as the vast majority of Fev fans are!

Yes whilst I personally have experienced some extreme Featherstone behaviour over the years, you are of course not all scum at all and those like you that came for a beer and to cheer their team on have my respect.

Let's not turn this into a slanging match. After all we can all agree about Wakey instead surely.

Oh come on TT don't be coy we wont think less of you!

Anyone know if Magrin was injured or not selected?

Fair point Roversspud. Although I too have witnessed a few unsavoury incidents involving Rovers fans over the years (beginning at Wembley 1973!) I certainly wouldn't label you all "scum" as the vast majority of you are fine. However there were a group of young blokes at Odsal on Sunday who were chanting the "f" word throughout the game, and who on leaving the ground were chanting "town full of P***s" which is completely unacceptable. Rovers needs to do something about these supporters behaviour as they are a stain on a well respected club.

Good, solid game and fantastic to come out on the right side of the result. Game could have gone either way but we showed the mental strength to get the win. Pleasing that considering we were missing a few especially in the forwards. Both teams will improve as the season goes on, and fev won’t be panicking, but for us it was a great start.

Off the pitch, I was disappointed with (a minority) of both sets of fans if I’m honest. I was stood very close to the fev fans and yes a lot of the young ish lads were pretty drunk and abusive, including shouting abuse if any bulls fans shouted encouragement to our team. However they didn’t cause any trouble until the scuffle in the middle to which they ran over to get a closer look / join in.

What caused the scuffle I didn’t see.

That being said, we have a few of our own ‘fans’ that like to congregate and generally goad the opposition fans, usually more than watching the game. The amount of V signs, songs etc. It sparked a reaction, not excusable but only helped to fan the flames really especially with the ones that can’t handle an ale.

Not selected I would assume as he was named in the 19 man squad last week.

Oh the stewards were all keeping warm in the Touchdown. Not their job to be out there in the cold keeping an eye on the fans
