The jammydodger i have to say i agree with you totally about the spring view defence,
However if irlam didnt give as many silly penaltys away, which gave spring view a hell of a lot of yards it would of been a total different game.
6 points for an interception try and 2 points on a penalty goal that you missed at first but the ref gave you another chance, irlam had a try disallowed for offside, which i thought was a fine try but never mind its done now .

And lastly just to add i thought spring view were the better team on the day and deserved the win.
I thought both teams werent at their best either so the return fixture will be a better game, when you get your players back that didnt play and we get ours as well.
all the best for the season apart from when you play at ours, spring view are a very well disciplined good team and play the game very well .

A fair summary mr red. Now for Ulverston on Saturday....couldn't play at there place last year coz of an injury so I'm looking forward to this one....hope the pitch is in better nick this year! Ended up full of s@!t and I was water boy!!

guess what Bobby Bouche

wudda-cudda-shudda
think ill discipline was 1 of your biggest worries,as for the re-taken penalty give your lad a pat on the back for his gobbing off and trying disrupt the kick(dont think thats in the rule book) but like you said thought it was a close contest and no doubt we will have to improve on our performance aswell

Abit quiet on here today! I am new to this so not sure if all this banter is good natured! Having been around this great game for many years I would expect it is.

A few interesting fixtures in terms of the top of the table with spingview takin the long trip to ulverston...not seen ulverston so can't comment on them...I think if the same springview team go there as I've seen of late especially there pack....then only one result for me, a springs win.

Langworthy and irlam should be interesting....the team who can keep there heads and 13 on the field should win that local derby.

Leyland are looking strong and consider them the dark horses in this division!

Strange u would ask mr dodger....neil cowie...prop, much like myself, that bit derives from my rather average attempts at emulating the man himself, hope that clears that one up for you!

played both spring veiw and irlam in the last two season there defo the front runners for the league both play great rugby in both defence and attack.

just one thing about both teams that we at are club noticed they seamed very very arrogant attitudes and dont show so called lesser teams any respect!!!!! they seamed to think they were gonna turn and we would give them the game. we got stuck in to them and that attitude soon change they beat us at rugby with some good stuff once there bully boy stuff went away.

maybe they have change from when i last played them hope so as there both class sides just hope they have found that bit of extra class.

to win gracefully!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

chenko. who do u play for? we at irlam dont think we r just gonna turn up u win, we know we ave to play rugby

Chenko....that is the biggest load of sh!! I have ever heard, I don't know who you played for but you couldn't be further from the truth...I have played the best part of 40 games for SV and I have never ever turned up to a game expecting to win...and that attitude has never come from any of our lads of coaches....we had langworthy at our place 2 weeks ago, a side we put over 100 points on last year....we went into that game expecting a battle. We went to Ulverston last year and got beat....they turned up at our place a week later and we showed them respect and turned them over. Be curious to hear the thoughts of any west bank, woolston or mossbank players, even Irlam with regards to us being arrogant. As a club an excellent spread is put on after the game for EVERY club and everyone gets involved for a good drink. I think the fact that we have 30 lads every tuesday and thursday night which include most of the under 18s from the last 2 years doesn't allow anyone to be arrogant.

THERES A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ARROGANCE AND CONFIDENCE!

I can assure you of one thing my friend....every lad at SV minute is battling for a shirt and nobody turns up expecting sides to roll over....if we had done that this year we'd have been sat bottom of the league instead of top!

So wind your neck in!

wind it in get screwed !!!!!!!!!!!!

you beat us higginshaw at your place 40-0 in season 08/09 and give us a harsh lesson in rugby fair play but what got our back up was on the return fixture one of your players walking up to the pitch said to us and i quote

' dont be embarresed when we put 70 on you after last time '

that has not sat well with us even till now. we showed the up most respect to you fellas even after a smashing like we got.
again you say teams like moss bank woolston got tyour respsct was that because they were up there with you by any chance on down at the bottom were we were.

so wind your own neck in as this a forum and opinions can be expressed .

i play for Higginshaw

it just seemed after are wooping at your place last year 40-0 if i remember when you came to our place it felt like you thought you had already won before we got on the pitch i stand corrected if am wrong and am looking forward to our matches this year just hope we dont get a savaging at yours again.
