At bloody last. You are a credit to your club mate and obviously an honest guy. I take great enjoyment out of congratulating supporters like your goodself.

See you in August mate.............its going to be very messy

Well that is nice from a Moderator on these forums isn't it.

It's not my fault you are a fairweather fan.

Why do you insist on bagging every team we play and making ridiculous, over the top, statements that drip childish arrogance?

Wherever you post on these boards you spread bad feeling towards our club like some vile disease. I think it's time you went back to supporting your hometown club and let their fans deal with the aftermath of your constant bullsh*t on these boards.



Barrow play the game tough and we met fire with fire last Sunday. That's RL at it's best. It gets the blood up and adds to the atmosphere. If you don't like it, may I suggest that you go and watch those multimillionaire gay boys at Anfield instead of following RL.

fact: did mcdermott have a go at gannon from the off and kept it going until he was binned?
fact: did holt run in a punch gannon on the side of the head and then run away just as quickly?
fact: was smithy given a facial by a barrow players forearm when fletch ran in to help him?
fact: was bracek trying to act like rambo all afternoon, with his go at gannon and his confrontation with varkulis?

and for you i have played the game at a good level when it was a lot tougher than it is now, and i certainly don't bag every team we play, just the dogs!!!!!

i suggest you watch the game again sunshine, it will be as plain as daylight..

From what you have stated in this topic it sounds like you have been watching a completely different final. Ok, i am not going to defend the actions of bracek and brett. But to suggest barrow were the dirtier and only dirty team in that game is nonsense. How gannon got set off i will never know. He was the stimulus for the majority of events in that game- all viewers of the game, barrow fans or none-barrow fans can clearly see this. Im not making excuses for barrow's lost, but your attempt to rub salt in the wound of barrow is completely unessessary and to be quite honest wrong.

Gannon shouldn't have struck out like he did but when the touch judge doesn't even do anything about someone interfearing with your privates (allegadly) any player would react the same way.

Barrow did seem to start the match with the intention of getting Widnes to react and lose composure and start/get involved in punch ups and Widnes fell for it but they got there composure back and went on to win the game.

Oh and as i've said on another thread i cannot believe that Bracek isn't getting brough before the RFL for running in at the Gannon/McDermott 'punch up'.

Anyway the match is over and done with lets all move on and think about the re-match in August.

fingerposts it wasn't Holt that came running in but Bracek.

oh dear, as well as reading the AUP i suggest that you read the laws of the land regarding equality and diversity and libel.....................making libellous homophobic allegations are an indication of a distinct lack of intellectual and moral standards.

on the replay of the game it clearly shows number 27 which i believe is holt landing a punch on gannon and then retreating, bracek came runing in after that incident.

read the widnes forum lads and lasses to see what he really thinks about barrow..........

There's nothing that would be inconstant with what I've said here.

In a nutshell, Barrow came out with the intention of bullying us got they got as good as they gave. That's RL and why I love it.



There have been incidents in the past where a team could be called dirty, but this wasn't one of them.

short term memory loss is a terrible thing.

OK, would you like to refresh it for me?

you know what you posted, hypocrisy at it's worst.

You've got nothing, have you

Holt never got near Gannon.

haven't i................................................

Obviously not, or you would've posted it on here.


Aren't you a bit old to be using the words 'Dude'?

You my friend are an insult to every true widnes fan, you prostitute yourself to curry favour with the opposition, at the expense of a fellow viking.

Translation:

Holt never retreated once !! He gave Gannon what for and infact persued him for another go !

To settle it..........
Barrow came with the intention of bullying Widnes and battering their way to victory, however Widnes didn't take a backward step and their class shone through to the end.

I have no problem with any player wanting to be rough and hitting hard but fair and if that causes a biff then that's the game we know and love.
But...... Bracek and Mcdermott were just a pain in the ! grabbing testes, elbowing, late tackles etc, that aint hard fair hard play!
Widnes players were certainly no saints and a few shots were a tad high but thats the nature of the beast, none appeared deliberate, however elbowing of smith etc was! No one ever grabs an opponent testes "accidentally" unless you're playing in the Navy team that is!

Oh How much of a gib e is Gary Broadbent, same two years ago!

Next they will be saying that Toa Koa-Love is an angel and never once tried to inflict damage by dubious methods on an opposition player!!!!! It's a tough game - get over it.
