Last ever league match between Fax and Widnes. Glad it was a victory for my beloved Fax.

So long and thanks for all the three eyed fish.

Good luck in Super League.

good chance we'll play in playoffs but alot of matches between us have been close exciting affairs and will miss that.

Gutted we lost, as i felt we blew it with stupid ill discipline mate.We lacked a leader, and too many penalties from dumb players, and i am not blaming the ref. Hey maybe a last one in the playoffs, and if not all the best in the Championship.

As always Rich a pleasure.

Must admit I was fuming after the match but after a forced rewatch I think certain players of ours have a lot of explaining to do about their discipline when we've got the game all but won. Picks and Allen I'm looking at you.

Don't worry they'll be back in 3 years

One penalty I wouldn't mind looking at would be the one in the build up to the equalising try... The fax player clearly stands up and takes a good step to his side splitting the markers. They get the penalty when really we should have done for the player moving off his mark.

Other than that I'm willing to believe that the other penalties were justified. However...
I would love to have the opportunity to sit down with the referee and ask him about the thirty other times that players from both sides didn't get square at the play the ball and why he felt that the eight or so he gave against Widnes were more deserving than all the others.

If you're going to award penalties for markers not standing square then surely you should be consistent about it.

Finnigan and Haggerty were just as bad Chris. Someone should have a word with Finnigan as he is always at the ref and they will just get fedup with him. He was the same against us and he should have been marched another 10 captain or not. Young Hulmey is going to be a fanatastic player or should I say more fantastic than he is now. Great game in very bad conditions. Chins up Smellies.

Hulme looks an awsome talent for such a young age. you bring them through good at Widnes at the moment,

glad we got to beat you one last time before you left for the promised land. least we can say we havent lost to you at the shay for a good few seasons.

21st June 2009 is only 2 years you know.

Finnigan is the captain so he is allowed to talk to the ref and IMHO he doesn't speak to the ref as much as most captains.

Best team lost........silly stupid errors cost Widnes the game BUT overall Widnes were the best team.
