This isn't a sleeping giant, it's a giant! Denis Betts Nov 2010 Twitter: @JoeyViking:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_45011.jpg



Someone needs to tell the likes of Barrow we live in 2010! That is embarrassing!

Mud sticks... be careful where you throw it!:disney/00049.gif



An absolute insult to Fax fans who, as I only watched on tv were more than amicable when moved on to the pitch, when asked to do so and later moved back across the pitch and changed ends for the rest of the match, I saw no STORMING, I bet he could make a ham sandwich sound appealing, "this isnt just bread.... this is ......(no advertising) this isn't just any old ham.. this is...." you get my drift. Sorry the lad has to make a living but tell it how it is, it may not sell as many papers but it earns more respect!

I think it's rather more interesting that the article was written at all since the whole of Barrow share just the one old quill pen which is primarily used to tickle the devils out of the mad folk.

This is the most telling quote from his article and rather shoots down the rest of the drivel he's written.

"Speaking after the game, Calland said they were still a few years away from a place in the game’s top division"

Ditto for every other team bar Widnes.



The RFL set the rules, not Widnes. I have ranted like a mad spoon about the "on-field" achievements of Widnes but that rant has ALWAYS been levelled at the RFL. They have an opportunity to put that right after the next round of licenses and if they've half a brain they won't be giving any guarantees out.

Are we really that surprised? It's bad enough listening to the local radio up there with their completely biased commentary. It's surely a small step for the local rag to join in.

I know it gets quite a bit of stick but could you imagine the Weekly news posting an article aimed at bashing a rivals application with inaccuracies and lies.

It just seems easier to knock our club when the authors of such diatribe struggle to come up with points in favour of their own clubs.

Shameful and embarrasing.

What a load of spangles, they're all the same in Barra.

I think the suggesion of a 'why we deserve a license sticky' should be added to the board to simply direct any trolls onto the page.

Saves all hassle then.

This article though is patchetic, im sure Angela Powers would love to change her baby in the back of a hot dog stand and also urinate on her shoes while taking a wee wee.

[i"....the Northern Rail Cup final last year was possibly the worst thing that could have happened to the game below the top-flight.

Why? Because they put the one necessary tick in the box at the earliest possible opportunity and guaranteed no-one else stood a chance of usurping them"[/i

Well......yes because no one else is really close on the criteria. Well done Paul for ranting on about a subject that we've been discussing and drawn a conclusion on 2 seasons ago. I might nominate him for a Pulitzer. Or a Darwin, I've not decided yet.

Oh, and this one's for any Leyther reading this"...and for Halifax, Featherstone and Barrow – the three best teams outside Super League..."[/i

Didn't Barrow finish 4th? icon_lol.gif

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg

And how does this support your claim to be the best? You finished 5th haha

I am guessing the article was aimed at the franchising system but I agree that you take the brunt of it. It shouldn't be a surprise guys, get over it. This subject has, can and no doubt will be debated for years to no avail.

Vikingmans generalisation that we are all the same in Barrow is a worse crime than this shoddy articale. You get a couple of our fans turning up here for a wind up and one lazy article and we are all tarred with the same brush. Get over yersel fat lad.

Dors is not a Widnes fan. IIRC, he supports the current champions...

I will say having a go at the guys looks is a bit out of order, stupid though the article is. But having a pop at Barrow fans is largely a reaction to similar twaddle by some visiting fans to this site.
