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.

Don't talk sh*t mate. Mashed ? That is what we did to you at your place. You lot couldn't even put 40 on a side that wasn't at full strength and were out on its feet. Lets wait until August when both sides are at full strength and see what happens eh ?

I will admit 1 thing though - Cullen and his staff completely out foxed our coaching team, I hope they learn from it.

Enough now - See you in August

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.......

All this talk over a nothing event, He grabbed Gannons Plumbs and got a slap for it. If someone grabbed my nuts ( wife excluded ) i would probably give them a slap too.

It was a good hard game and the only thing wrong with Barrows tactics was that they didnt work. Its a tough game played by tough men. Hopefully we will be more of the same next time we meet, and if we have a little luck we will get the same result.

I would like to see McDermott in our pack and am sure he would love to play for a big club.Think I will drop TOC an e-mail.

It is clear, within the context of my post, that I meant physically.

What happens in August happens in August. What happened in Blackpool was that your team came out to bully us and ended up bullied themselves. I cannot see why you are whinging about it.

Well if McDermott didn't do anything why was he sinbinned as he clearly didn't throw any punches (unless it was after Bracek had come charging in like the dumb bull he is).

not upsetting fans of other teams with you acerbicand childish post's are you tut tut tut
