I wish we had some sore losers.

Thats long been the trouble at Leigh the ability to accept defeat gracefully clap to the croud and swan round leigh like stars.

eh this has been a feel good board all day dont spoil it now

Priceless. Coming from the fans who have recently had a new thread about Widnes 'Rent-a-Vikings' almost daily recently.

Des Johnstone's attitude will not serve the Barrow club in the long term. He craves instant success and woe betide anyone who fails to deliver. We'll have to wait and see how this season transpires but the 'champions' are definitely not going to have things all their own way this year.

Had wrote longer but internet went off lol.

Basically Dez has no class and doesn't join in the spirit of the game... said to have give the Ref at our match 2 weeks back an ear bashing... changing what?

Yes he's helped Barrow get to where they are but would fans admit it was SOLEY him? I guess not. Dave Clark great coach yet leaving because of how Dez has treated him?

I think he thinks he much much more important than anyone in this Sport things he is tbh!

bless, we used to get 'bored' beating barrow, by how many was the question, before each game ?
1 excellent season, and silly Desmond is getting a little 'carried away'.
if i came in my changing room before each game, i'd give him a bloody shirt.

Spot on mate, would love to see that! It's as if Dezza disrepects the league... coming top last season was a FANTASTIC achievement in a tough, tough division yet he acted like it was al down to him and a given this year too?

Barrow are a very good team and will not be far off the top and the GF this year , however if I was to forecast , I think they'll fall just a bit short , I'd say a 3 rd place for them

Fax for top this time no problem , with 3/4 others chasing second , as for Des , cannot fault his investement both in money and passion , but sometimes you have to understand that sport is not like a normal business , you can only demand success so far , no amount of money can guarantee it

You know absolutely nothing of the reasons for Dave Clark taking the Wigan job, you are nothing but a spiteful little gossip who cannot stop himself from slagging DJ/Barrow off whenever they are mentioned. And I can't imagine there is anyone particularly interested in what you think about DJ's importance relative to others in the sport, the only thing that is known is that he is far more important than you!

Nobody is asking anyone to like DJ, you are not required to hang out with him, work for him, be his friend or even acknowledge him if you see him in the street. So why do some of you feel the need to criticise/gossip/bitch about the guy, do you behave like this every time you take a dislike to someone? I am note making any statements about his personality or defending any of his actions, real or as mostly appears on here imaginary. Lets not get into a slagging match about members of each others clubs off field staff and focus on the rugby.

and you know this how?
the people who have commented on his actions thursday night have no reason to "imagine" things.
passion should be applauded but theres no excuse for ignorance and foul language

I imagine lots of things, but they never include anything to do with the Barrow Chairman.

hey cocker the 'speech' by him was recorded on videotape so there is nothing imaginary about it, I haven't published it yet to save anyone else from Barrow being embarrased
