Well I am a Leyther till I die literally.

I have not been impressed with our last two games and our defence has been crap. I would also drop players who lose their rags in 2 games running.

Quote: charlie caroli "Derek good evening, hope you are well?Some Faxers can't see the Wood for the trees they have a holier than though attitude, which most Leythers can see through, Leigh gave us a below par performance today with only a few players putting in good displays however we still won ,sign of a good team 24 on the bounce, Fax were crowing after the first 2 games of the season they were top of the League then,it will be interesting to listen to RM the Fax Coach next week on his verdict , this guy would make a Philadelphia Lawyer envious.

Bottom line is Fax LOST ,Leigh won ,Fax have now lost 50% of their games and will lose at least another 5 maybe 6 before the season is over ,giving the 7th place in the League, my message to GFB?Don't ya wish you had a team as good ours?Don't ya.'"



You drinking with your chairman tonight charlie? I do wonder what they put in the water at Leigh, Fax top of the table after 2 games despite losing their 2nd game? Only Saltonstall would get in your team but Ambler would get in your pack? More faces than a town hall clock you Charlie.

I don't think the Leigh Town Hall has a clock icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif I've only ever met Mike Norris twice so I don't really know him icon_wink.gif I was wrong though Fax were top after 1 game away at Haven,again I repeat only Ambler would get into our pack ,I stand by that,and I said Saltonstall must be sick of losing, no exaggeration there .Greg it was you saying Fax had NO equals in the Pack icon_eek.gif and Fax players threw the first punches in the Brawl.
Fax will lose another 5 or 6 games before the season is over and finish 6 or 7 in the League I stand by that to.I will be cheering Fax on at Blackpool though,UP THE FAX. icon_wink.gif

Quote: HXSparky "Sorry, but that is exactly what Leigh did as well in terms of 2nd goes, flops and generally trying to slow things down. I'm saying Fax didn't do the same, but please don't claim that we "got away with it" when your tactics were exactly the same.'"


Disagree. Fax's game plan was clear & they did everything to slow it down right from the start, once the ref made it clear he wasn't going to do anything about it it just got worse and worse. Almost every other Fax tackle could have been a penalty by the end.

Both teams were at it to be fair, Fax had to slow the game down to try and bring Leigh down to their pace and Leigh were bad for 3rd man in and a lot of cheap shots. We were laying on yes but the 3rd man in also does a great job of slowing the game down and is another area the RFL should look at because its a very clever tactic which does not get picked up on a lot.

When does the video normally go online?

Video of the match is usually up pretty soon.

And, yep, that 3rd man in "tackle", for me, can be ridiculous. Barlow was our man for that mainly. ****! Give me some boots! Because even I can do that!

For the first time, I have to say that even Paul Rowley talked some rubbish in his post match interview. OK, maybe he was still high on emotion after such a game, but even if Halifax claim to be a "footballing" side, but then change to a more "boring" style, so be it. It nearly worked. It's called tactics.

I really want to swear sometimes on these boards...

Im half way through the Rowley interview and I do not have too much of a clue what he is on about , he seems genuinely rattled but maybe it was just heat of the moment stuff.

Edit: He really just didnt take a cheap dig at Fax fans when talking about Danny Jones did he? He kind of back tracks saying they are paying their respects at keighley so maybe just out of context and a slip of the tongue.

Edit 2: That lass in the picture next to the video on the website is a bit of ok, might give my best mate a work out. icon_wink.gif

Edit

I'd say he was rattled in that interview, yes, but I said as much before.

And, no, he wasn't taking any kind of cheap shot. You've definitely misread that.

Quote: charlie caroli "[qupoteCharlie, that pop that you were supping in't George & Dragon must have had summat in it. Leigh were so, so lucky to beat us today. Pete great to see you today , but Lucky Leigh?Have a word with yourself,we gave an under par performance but still won, Fax couldn't beat us, Fax using slowing don tactics and trying to upset guys like Sam Barlow is not good no wonder your gates are dwindling, you will be agreeing with GFB next, and he is on a stronger Medication than me. Charlie mate. You were lucky we missed a couple of conversions. Lucky that you weren't nilled at half time, remember that forward pass? Lucky that the ref chose to send three Fax players from the pitch as opposed to two Gobblers following the brawl. How he cane up with that one is a mystery to me! Other than that no luck at all! icon_rolleyes.gif But a great day out and good to meet some good lads from Leigh, I don't include the bald headed moron in the car park driving a mini bus who thought it was o.k. to eff and blind at Fax fans after the game. What a dummy! I will say though, I thought it was the best game I gave seen this season, it gad everything. See you soon. Up The Fax! Yorkshire, Yorkshire! icon_biggrin.gif

Watching the game back I didn't realise how strong Hopkins was in defence yesterday. Massive effort by him.

Any fax fans complaining about us slowing the play the ball down need to watch it back. They could've been penalised a couple of times every set. Moore put high shots on loads and bracek was his usual tosspot self.

We're the dirty ones tho??

Don't see what anyone could object to in Rowley's interview either. Glad that they do listen to coaches' comments on referees. Just watched the game back, the Fax players who held Acton back while others hit him shouldn't play again this season; we don't really want to see fighting but it happens in RL but that was disgraceful.
