Barrow come out at Blackpool the intention of bullying Widnes and intimidating them out of the game. This is fair enough and it worked on our previous two meetings.

This time they were handed their ar5es back on a plate and now have players facing the rod of the RFL.

If you are going to use these tactics, you need to be clever and , more importantly, tougher than the opposition. They were neither.

Tough 5hit. Barra fans need to deal with it, instead of crying on here at Widnes fans about how unfair it all is.

Personally I couldn't give a shiny 5hite.

I was meaning within the laws of the game. Cheap shots don't count.

Give it a rest for gods sake, your like a broken record.

like mcdermott taking smith out late in the first set of 6 of the game you mean?

you live by the sword you die by it.

Exactly. That's what he just doesn't get. They got what they deserved.

Even now they are talking about taking out their revenge in the game up at Barrow... will they never learn!!

It's fine.. they tried to outmuscle us one too many times.. it reminds me of playing Cas in 2007.. We won the first couple but Cas soon learned what we were about as we have done with Barrow. Rooney will make a difference but they look like they are continuing to build in their forwards..

It's real double whammy that one.

Their coach ballsed up big time.They never wanted the ball from the KO in the first half when they returned it but from the KO in the second half they suddenly wanted possesion.

I must admit to being slightly disappointed that we didn't put the game to bed much earlier than the 78th minute but Barrow were a stubborn opponent second half.

Think we have got to give Barrow some credit. They had a gameplan which has worked on previous occassions so decided to stick to it. After conceding 3 tries in the space of ten minutes lesser sides would have capitculated but they didnt.

I've just watched the incedent again for the first time since sunday - and McDermotts arm is inbetween Gannons legs, you can just see it at the corner of the screen on the replay. (It is very quick, and I only saw it cos I was specifically looking for it)

Why would his arm be there if he wasn't doing anything??

I don't see what you see ? unless your TV is bigger than mine and you can see more of the picture.

All I do notice is when Gannon is shown the Yellow card he says "But he nipped me" No mention of a nut grab !

Is it very quick.

When it goes back to the replay you can see McDermott's arm inbetween Gannon's legs. You can only see one leg untill he stands up and punches him, then you can tell his arm was there. I don't know if it was a pinch on his legs or a nut grab - but his arm was there and I don't believe it would have been if he was just setting a scrum and behaving himself.......
