There's nothing like clutching at straws.
As long as it is mathematically possible we will continue this delusion.

Nothing for us at at York on this type of form. To be fair Haven and Barrow deserve to be in the playoff final, with the exception of York the rest are just not good enough and the season long results are a perfect indicator of that fact.

Had a quick look on Facebook and the fans who went say that we piggy backed them up the field with penalty after penalty
(the one thing we do seem to be consistent at)

See Carr played. Hes not putting it in, thinks he's ok coz he got next years contract tied up, no need to put any effort in and he isn't doing.
i'd tear his contract up now.
can't pass can't tackle and just runs round like a headless chicken.

Hope TC played because Miloudi was injured . He did pick up a knock last weekend & defended on the wing for a period !
I would have played LS at fb , but hey ho .

Seen on Total RL fans that Miloudi has signed a 2 year deal with Hull, (not official ).

I listened to the commentary of the Keighley game on BBC radio Cumbria. It seemed as though Keighley were a bit flat after the very hard games against Toronto and York. After a week off next weekend, they could bounce back to their best.

If we lose to York and Toronto (both of which seem favourites to happen), we might only end up with two more points. Keighley would need to win at Newcastle and beat Workington at home to claim fifth spot. Basically Keighley need to win one more game than the Dons to get ahead of us.

I wish the rest of the season had been as interesting as the play-offs. They've got to change the league structure for next season. Good luck to you KRLFC too. I suspect we'll be crossing swords again in this division again next season, but it's a funny old game, and strange things can happen. The Cumbrian sides do seem to have a little bit extra than both the Dons and Keighley at the moment though.

The turning point seems to have been when Louis Sheriff got sin-binned. I think we gave away 12 or 13 penalties as well.

In terms of the league positions, nothing much has changed with Keighley going down at Whitehaven.

Big game coming up at York next.


I wasn't clutching at any straws. I was making reference to the points made by the Radio Cumbria commentator and the Workington coach after the match.

We probably all know that we're not amongst the top two teams in the league and that we probably don't deserve to go up but the players, coach, and fans can't just throw the towel in because we're clearly not the best.

Unfortunately a lot of fans have thrown the towel in . That is why the crowds are top of the agenda at tomorrow nights forum !

If he has signed for us, I think he will spend quite a bit of time on loan at Donny, along with a couple of others.

I hope we use loans rather than DR as it's better for both clubs and players.

We started brightly today, but penalties was the killer again for us. We were in control of the game then LS got 10 mins for a high tackle. They made us pay for being down to 12 men. We cant seem to play when under pressure. Think there will be a few players leaving us at the end of the year.
This stupid Workington fan telling us that the PNG playing 13 needs to go back home, the look on his face when we told him that CM is a Yorkshireman soon shut him up.
NR was taken to hospital but got released about 8pm.

I am sure Radford has said he will loan players to Championship clubs only , so probably rules us out .

Thanks for the update Baz , was hoping the poor discipline was behind us . Any news on Miloudi was he injured . I agree about players leaving , think RH will want his own players next season .

I haven't read that anywhere, so maybe missed it.

Still think he will help out Horne, seeing that he is still working for Radford.

Not dual reg I hope !
