Once again we haven't shown up, this is totally embarrassing just about half time and it's 42-0. All our confidence has disappeared, a few poor decisions but I'm afraid this game was lost before we come out of the tunnel.

Feel gutted, yes only NRC but we should be playing to win. Fev look great can't take it away from them.

Sorry as I know how it feels to be on the end of a drubbing so you won't be feeling great now, but I honestly don't think the ref has had a bad game, it has been down to really strong fev defence and some shoving failings and missed tackles inthe keighly line. I think our ball speed has forced mistakes from your lads but fair play for how you started the second half. Our defence wrapped up some of your huge forwards by working as a team. I think blaming the ref is a cheap shot, although I understand your frustration.

Total disgrace, Tackling non existent first half, and only slightly better in the second, i heard one shout basic rugby one-up' one-down and i totally agree, featherstone did it constantly and moved up to tackle where as we were standing off and waiting, no good iam afraid against a team like featherstone, a couple of their tries scored were ridiculous we just didnt TACKLE, after seeing that performace i'm hoping that is the bad egg, and we can get back on track in the league.

The first good thing about tonight's game is that MICKY wasn't permitted to video it!

Did we turn up? It didn't look like it!

I fail to understand why we play 'one-man rugby' straight 'down the middle' when everyone knows that fast delivery to the wings is the way to play. The second 'good thing' that might come out of tonight is that JD can learn a lesson from the way that a TOP TEAM plays - hard and fast. No 'floated' passes and few missed tackles! Let's face it our first half tackling was abysmal and the last try that Featherstone scored should never have been! How many missed tackles were there by Cougar players? There must have been at least 5!

No-one looked to be interested in playing for us in the first half!

With both teams having played on Sunday, fatigue can't be the explanation.

Who really wanted to win? Not us and that's for certain!

It's a good job this wasn't in the League.

Let's hope that JD can get things sorted for the Batley game!

We were as appalling as Featherstone were brilliant.

I feel for jd at the minute and it's easy to say I know especially when your mates with someone you are talking about but it is obvious that jd is giving his all on and off the pitch at the minute. It must be very frustrating for him as by the look of his reaction at some points of the game certain players were not sticking to his game plan.

No team especially in this league is going to go all season without losing a game or 2 and if I'm correct in saying this even fev and Halifax have been on the end of a couple of hidings this season so I aren't worrying just yet. I am sure we will be kicking down the changing room door for the batley game after our games against Halifax and fev as our boys will be eager to use this to spur them on now to get back to winning ways.

As we always do let's stand shoulder to shoulder and give jd and the lads our continued support, come on jd you can do it. Coouuugaaarrss!

Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. -Albert Camus:46524.jpg



For the first time in ages I sat in the stand.

To be honest I only saw 2 forward passes that weren't called.

I'm going to pay tribute to Fev first, they were outstanding. Liam Finn took us apart...... again, and landing 41 consecutive kicks at goal is a fantastic achievement. How Stuart Dickens isn't playing in Super League is beyond me, he is by far and away the best Prop Forward in the Championship.

With the wonderful benefit of hindsight could we have seen this result coming? Woeful first 20 minutes against York? Woeful 2nd half against Halifax? If you can't tackle you won't win games it's really that simple, we were just bouncing off them. Fev were playing in Pink but it was us who looked like the big girl's blouses. Our attack looked so basic and predictable. We look a little naïve tactically. In the Second Half whenever Korki got the ball there were 3 defenders looking to smash him. There was also 2 big gaps in their line either side of those defenders. Why is there nobody backing the ball carrier up? If Korki gets the ball away it creates a line break, if he doesn't the backing up runner creates enough of a threat to distract the 2nd and 3rd men in the tackle and it makes Korki's runs more effective.

It's brought us back down to earth with a bump. Perhaps we aren't quite as good as we all thought we were.

On the night, it was obvious that Featherstone were a class above, and there s no way you could have won.

Having said that, it could have been a lot closer, but what really did for you was the lack of respect for possession in the first half. A fired up, fast and skilful opposition on the top of their game is really not who you want to be giving continual free marches up the field to, but that's what you did for 40 minutes.

Leahy was pretty even for both sides, so wasn't a factor, he did let a lot of messing about in the tackle go, but Fev were far better than you at delaying the PTB which frustrated you. Going to the VR for a simple try when 50 behind in the 80th minute was bizarre though, but at least it provided a laugh.

Overall though Keighley weren't anywhere near as bad as the scoreline suggests, a lot of teams a lot better than Keighley would've found it hard to cope with Fev's first half performance. Stop slitting your throats.

There's a line in a song that goes"pick yourself up,dust yourself down and start all over again" This is what the Cougars have to do now after last nights game.
We have Batley a week Sunday and this will not be a push over.

I have only been wrong once and thats because I thought I was wrong but I was wrong I was right! Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.

Pretty much sums it up. I'll put the cut-throat down now........ or do you want it curtain.gif

As Stealth has said, perhaps we should have seen this coming, especially against a side like Featherstone.

We played well against most sides in wetter conditions but I do think we need a change in tactics as the grounds dry out.

We are from Keighley. We are NOT Bradfordians.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_60894.jpg



The KN has the attendance at 828, a sizeable number of whom came from Featherstone so how many Cougars fans were there? 400? 500? Fax outnumbered us quite easily too. Where is everyone? Blimey we had more turning up last season in Championship One. Despite the two most recent set-backs we are not a bad team. We are doing OK in the league - why are our attendances so poor? It does my head in.

It is frustrating, obviously we have a better team than we did last season and are in a higher division so you'd expect more to be coming.

However times are hard, and the turn up ticket price is 27% more expensive than last season.

It's a quandary for the club. They've a business model based on sustainability and yet still want to provide a quality squad.
