[iThe amount of times they were shouting at the ref. I would say at least 3 times in the first half he gave a penalty, because of the crowd shouting and the Fax players shaking there heads and throwing there hands in the air[/i

According to our local rag there was only 1 penalty awarded in the first half

Sheffield put 60 past Fev last night! 40 in reply. We have best defensive record easily. Early days though! Sharpen up attack and the NRL/world cup is ours..

I was walking away from the ground after the game and had to chuckle hearing the following from fax fans

"That was the most bias ref I have ever seen" Maybe they didn't see the second half.

"What a boring match" They must want to see a points fest each and every week. Boring it certainly was not.

All in all, I don't think I can add anything to the assessment of the other posts.

I agree with the comment about the Shay staff. My Dad and I went in the wrong entrance, i.e the stand and wanted to go in the terracing, however, when I tried to walk round from the stand the stewards said I couldn't go in the terracing as only season ticket holders could transfer. Strange?! I'm not sure of the logic here. If it was an all ticket, capacity crowd I could understand it, but bearing in mind only 2 sides were open I can't see the problem.

Onwards and upwards and let's see what happens next week.

Hate to be picky on what was a great night - but that blooming Cat mascot was a right royal pain as well - spent most of the time in the 1st half directly in front of the Cougar Fans on the terrace trying to antagonize them - never seemed to make any effort to move around the ground like the kid who does Freddie for us ,someone should tell him we paid 15 quid to watch a game not some overgrown feline !

That damn cat! Menace to society he is!
