had a chuckle to myself after seeing this result,

just how many viking trolls were on here after we BEAT oldham, saying we would struggle this year, should be putting more points on a championship 1 side etc... etc...

Not many of them on here now is there!

Well he must of if GMR only mentioned him once.

Probably only Halliwell was better than him in all the centres last night. You're old boy Roberts played very well winding everyone up, wouldn't stop talking to the ref, but he did the job he set out to do. Taking nothing away from Oldham, they did well. Not too worried though at this stage of the season the result will be meaningless in a few weeks anyway.

Is this the only thread,on our MB that Widnes Viking isn`t on ?

Halliwell was the best centre on the park last night, TKL went ok in patches and certainly wasn't poor. Mind you, like Nanyn for Oldham last year, it's difficult to shine at centre if the ball is constantly turned back inside. As for 2Bobs, he was an immense leader for Oldham and it was only when he went off injured that Widnes began to break us down. Yes, he talks to the ref, but Webster, Smith and Doran where hardly quiet in this regard. Perhaps the fact that 2Bobs usually comes away from the ref smiling, whether the decision has gone for or against us gives you a clue how to handle referees. Widnes players approached with disrespect, shaking heads, pointing fingers, aggressive (particularly Doran and Smith) - it's hardly going to help.

Excellent report DParky, altho' I would make a couple of points. When OConnor bombed the try the score was 18-4, a try then and it was game over. Wildbore threw 3 or 4 punches at a grounded player before O'Connor came in to defend him, it was hardly an even scuffle. Wildbore was right to walk, but O'Connor should have been sin-binned. The "strange get together" was a team talk instigated by John Stankevitch, who ran onto the pitch with the kicking tee and then called all the players round presumably for a b*ll*cking - completely illegal and hopefully Widnes will get hauled over the coals for it, especially as it had a major impact on the game and the way Widnes played it.

It's not, it's just gamesmanship. Anyone can take the kicking tee on, Stanky could of, as others do, talk to every player he passed running to the centre spot however got everyone in instead. It's not technically illegal, it's just bending the rules. Other than that fair post.

And to 'The Watcher' a Leyther started the thread 'Widnes V Oldham', so don't have a go at us for posting!

So 'time wasting' isn't an offence?

Still worked well didn't it

AJ its Vikingman we are having a laugh at

I didn't take much in the way of notes as it wasn't a paid gig, you are of course right regarding the Paul O'Connor "no try"

Thanks for the correction

If I was one of your forwards I would be cacking myself. Our young guns will be eating raw meat by then and craving flesh.

ah well thats that then he had a stinker because he didn't get much mention on GMR

Yep. Thats about it. Can only go off what I hear. I'll give him three more games before he hands in a sick note.

Dear Steve. I'm sorry Toa cant play this week because he couldn't get motivated.
All the best. Toa.
Oh by the way dont forget to post my wage slip to me at the gym.

IM a die hard widnes fan, so if you want have a pop at me but what i will say is while we have a complete fool in charge the results of the above will become more frequent, you have a fantastic coach in kelly he did absoloute wonders for our club i just wish he would come back, no offence leythers lol. In all seriousness would you like to swap a coach who shows no EMOTION what so ever and who also plays constant pass and drive rugby for Neil Kelly?
