Quote: Jim Bergerac "Some of these comments on 'spoiling tactics' and 'dirty play' are reminiscent of remarks made by Cougars fans in the mid-90's when our team of free transfers used to beat your expensive big names at both Cougar Park and Mount Pleasant. Come on, at least wait until your side are at the top end of the league before starting with this tripe. As for the 'turned from a free flowing side into a bunch of spoilers' rubbish, did you ever watch us under Harrison???!!! We played some of the most negative, unattractive rugby I've ever seen at Batley during that period. Although it was successful, and is what makes Harrison a good coach, we were massively boring to watch at times.
Oh, and finally, thanks for the heavily-edited match highlights on Youtube - a real 'video nasty'. Some of your fans seem to have what I like to call 'St.Helens syndrome', screaming vehemently for an offence every other second. At one stage I heard cries for 'offside', 'high tackle' and 'holding down' all within a single play.'"
Oh that's so precious!
You should come on here more often and give us all a good laugh
I could understand your attitude if i had come on your site trolling, but really, if you don't want to hear opinions you don't like then maybe you should just sit in a corner staring at the wall.
For what its worth, I have every respect for the slow but steady progress that Batley have made over recent years, they have set a good example to many. I am more than happy to applaud good play from the opposition and I did applaud your final tries, however much they hurt. Having said that, I still maintain that your SPOILING tactics were a poor example of rugby.
If you want to have a hissy fit over other peoples opinions, that's your problem. Have a nice day now
