Hmmmm de ja vous. Do you know what the word means? As your implying we were behind away at Catalans in the past.....and it's happening again.
2010 Catalans 14 - 22 City Reds
2011 Catalans 10 - 22 City Reds
So with your pointless comments corrected it isn't a regular occurance is it? and there were no complaints. The lads got on with the game, kept there heads up and scored 2 quick trys near the end.
Your complete lack of faith and support still shocks me. You weren't there so how would you know how the lads were playing ?
A scoring doesn't tell the whole story. Look at Wigan. They played rubbish ( by there standards and only lost by 1 point...
To say the lads thru the towel in so early on again blows a hole in your alleged support.

totally wrong pal
as a neutral, you lot were outplayed by a good side with good back up players to replace the injured lads - Bosc was brilliant at FB and Robinson outcoached PV - don't blame the lack of wingers, the Josh Vievers wing try was brilliantly taken - he looks really nippy
Your big problems were left side with Nero unable to combine to keep out a brace of Blanche tries which set the pattern for the rest of the game - just bad organisation in defence - you looked ok going forward but Fakir,Ferriol & Simon & co stifled any forward movement. Ben Fisher did well as stand in for Hendo.
The Reds never gave up but were simply outplayed and outcoached IMO - a big loss but a lot of positives to take back to the Salford training ground
you can't blame the ref - he was so biased [iagainst[/i the Catalans it's not true ! a normal reffing performance would have seen the margin of victory even bigger !

| The game was played in a strong wind which didn't help the kicking game, but after we scored first we missed up from the kick off due to a wicked bounce and turm of the ball, which resulted in Boyle (i think, 10 hours on the booze before kick off didn't help) hitting the ball into the air only for the wind to take it behind him. We went backwards after that and didn't see the ball for another twenty mins.
Alibert was not his usual friendly self to us they had a run of 6 pens in the first half for stuff both teams were doing, in fact in the twenty min spell Catalan had their line cleared each time by a pen, poor Salford for being caught out.
In the second they kept us out when we had 3 pens on their line includinga real high shot that would normally see a Red, but Alibert didn't have a clue who did what and spoke to teh Catalan captain, with some strong defence and poor decision making keeping us at bay, we lost second half 14 - 12, the final Catalan try coming from our scrum which before it went down Alibert changed his decision to a pen to catalan. A better second 40 but we did have the wind and when we tried the long kick off the ball bounced but instead of carrying on forward the ball stood up and made for a nice easy catch.
The Girona 15 all made it to the game and the trip was a brilliant success, only problem I had was Alibert turned up where i was after the game, in the Restaurant after the match, the cafe bar the following morning and then later that day at Girona Airport and teh same flight.

fair comment - I thought the high tackle near the line was a yellow with another yellow (ossibly red)by Ferriol on the Reds 40m line after he retaliated to a crafty punch unseen by the ref or TJ - the ref only gave a pen in both cases
bad luck with Mr Alibert ! in the restaurant, did he shout MEOOOOVE to the waiter for quicker service ?

| Enjoyed the trip as always, first time we have stayed in Girona what a brilliant base lovely bars nice city plenty to see half the price from staying in Perpignan.
Not too disappointed with the result, very good Catalans team really exposed us out wide, most pleasing part was we never let our heads drop & kept making them work hard, two good try's in the second half especially Owen who seems to get better each game.
Most disappointing was the few fans who let the club down again, disrespectful to the Catalans song they sang prior to the game & the vile chants being made to a young group of cheer leaders & throughout the game, embarrassed held my head in shame!

| Very surprised the no marks havn't been back on now we've been beaten again, the chance to belittle the team is normally to much to resist.

well,I have been trying to put a positive spin on the game not wanting to get into a slanging match with the Reds fans so it's interesting you bring up this point - the vast majority of visiting fans respect the Catalan anthem with only the usual rabble from a certain east coast club offending.
It's a pity some people can't show due respect,just for a minute or so the anthem takes to sing but as you say, it was only a handful of your lads who otherwise were great to be around in the bars etc.

You'd hope the club find out who they were and ban them for life as definately not the type of people you want supporting the club.

Report them to the club, we can well do without this kind of behaviour!
