That result is a right kick in the b0ll0x.

Great effort boys

what a fightback from 28 -0.hard luck lads.a least we got a bonus point.did you see the widnes score,theyre getting battered

Gutted, I missed a classic by the sounds of it If the flaming M1 didnt shut a lane i would have been there. But well done boys

Another good rally away from home if only we could get out of the starting blocks and defend early on.WELL DONE with a patched up side

17-42 from then on.
Bloody silly.....it won't impress Geoff Roebuck....87 points being scored.

I am listening the match on BBC Cumbria, Widnes are completely overwhelmed, they never sounded close to score while Barrow got many more opportunities including several tries disallowed.

0-27 Zeb scored for them....it shows that Widnes aren't that good and Barrow are very good.

Indeed, the win over Toulouse at the beginning of the season may have given a false impression about their strength. Barrow seems like the real contender for the second spot.

Had your player not been sin-binned early in the first half allowing Thunder the opportunity to put a few on the scoreboard you would have got an even better result.

Big well done to your fans who made the trip.

Yes it must have been mega exciting watching us score try after try and looking like we might win.
It would have been an epic win.
I suppose it gives us a lot of encouragement for the Batley game.....we mustn't feck up in that one.
If we could only get some bodies back we could motor.

Due to the traffic, got there 3 mins into the game - Gateshead had just scored and Mark Castle was already in the sin-bin.

We twice got back within one score.

I hate singling out players, but after we battled back to within one score the first time, Wayne Riettie collected a ball inside his own 20-metres and for some inexplicable reason he turned into Bolu Fagborun (Batley last season) and threw a pass to no-one (I say no-one, there was another Dons player back but the pass was 5 yards in front and therefore past him) which Gateshead picked up on our try-line to score.

Handforth was withdrawn in the first half having failed to find touch with a penalty and was not used again until Speake got a bang early in the second half. The difference when he returned at 34-6 down ... well work it out for yourselves. I wonder what might have happened had he have played for longer???

Carbutt played despite the injury concerns and Mark Castle was withdrawn before half-time with another injury.

Have we ever scored 42 pts away from home and finished up getting beat?. (1 for Geoff)

Pity the Batley game has been postponed. If we played them next week how we played in the second half last night you'd have to fancy us.

Sorry but I seem to come from the same mould as Geoff Roebuck.

If I wanted basketball scores, I'd watch basketball.

How the hell can a team score 42 points and lose?

Something is radically wrong & it looks like a major mistake in failing to appoint a fresh coach with the calibre of Karl Harrison, especially with him going to the only side that looks likely to challenge us for bottom spot.

I despair.

I wanted Karl Harrison before EH was appointed mainly because of my fears of being left in the lurch.
