Ah now, that one looked farcical from the West Stand. However, Roby and TJ were in a good position and the ref spent time patiently explaining to your lads, why he had given it.

As a matter of interest, I get a lot of match photos, to use in the programme, and I find it truly impressive, just how near to the play the ref always seems to be. I know that's where they are supposed to be, but it's still interesting to see, although they tend to ruin many a good action photo, by being there!

Can't grumble at that mate, enough to create an atmosphere then.

Must admit Alan it was a good photo ,i try to keep my shirts on though ,to much flesh as for Frank ive never seen without his Baseball hat still much appreciated for the mentions each week , we are getting more entries ,though Frank is winning enough at the moment,the Programme is still the best by far ,never miss a copy ,thanks ,Ian.

As your name suggests, you are indeed a clown.

Your lot are nearly as bad as Saints fans for the constant 'offside', 'forward pass' shouts.
Your passes from acting half are almost always 'flat' and some are very suspicious, but no shouts there. Your line move up 5 yards before the ball is even played, but no shouts there.
I'm all for a bit of partisan support, but then to come out with a statement like that is very arrogant.
Remember where you came from and have a bit of respect and humility for the teams you are now beating with ease. Its only just over a year since you were miraculously saved from relegation on a technicality.

Ilove being a CLOWN mate the rest is my oppinion ,Batley are a Spoiling team ,we do play rugby ,our mistakes and the refs interpretation of the rules kept the score down ,you guys might make the play-offs but thats it ,and NO BLACKPOOL for you lot.

On my visits to MP all I ever hear from the home fans is "that was a good call referee", "surely that was n`t a knock on from the opposition" ........The most unbiased fans on the planet even your own version of "Uncle Albert" is such a reserved chap...

Actually we were 'relegated' on a technicality then rightly 'saved' all of which is ancient history, if your going to troll then please do so with facts.

All we can do is beat whoever we play each week,who knows the town maybe slowly stiring from its slumber as the crowd keeps growing.

Really enjoying this season seeing the young players coming on week after week,young nicholson is growing in confidance week after week and is a credit to the people who did the sponsored walk to raise funds which in the end went towards is funding a real credit to the club he is.

Thought the big turning point if you like was when ellias stepped forward with a couple of clever plays to set up tries after our power rampage up the middle was floundering in the second half,great defensive performance today from leigh

Roll on friday

Ellias ???? hope he's not coming back

you know who I mean

Who were the ones in the West Stand who were shouting 'Get them onside' when Batley were in possession? And who were the ones who were shouting 'Forward' virtually every time we passed the ball? Surely, they weren't Leigh fans too?


Were they forward passes by Leigh? Well, I would say yes, but very few of the refs seem to think so - I don't know why. Were we offside at the p.t.b's? Well, again I would say yes, but watch the recording, and then tell me where your lads stood in defence. Absolutely no difference there, I'm afraid.

There was one incident in particular in the second half when Buttery couldn't decide if he was at marker or in the line (on the tryline) and ended up five yards offside and then made the tackle, all of which took place no more than ten yards away from Roby! You get some decisions and not others, as we've been finding out with our 'flat' passes.

We sit in the stand with the Batley fans at MP and believe me you are just as bad as other fans for shouting forward and offside ,so don't come on here pretending to accept all the refs decisions ,I have seen forward passes from both teams at matches and knock ons that haven't been seen and stripping of the ball ,the refs get things wrong sometimes ,when Ellis kicked through for our last try he was blatantly taken out ,should have also got a penalty but we didn't

And what about feeding, is this no longer in the rules?

these yorky fans need to read the rules, it's not where the ref stands it's 10m, yesterday the ref was walking back 12 m at virtually every tackle, then again as every pitch in yorky doesn't appear to be full length how would they know what 10m is.
