I thought Bannister had a good game yesterday. Menacing with ball in hand and excellent defensively.

You jammy gits.



Wonderful to see so many travelling fans on a beautiful day,1600 my ar$e.

Rubbish

To the fax fan who reckons cougars did not deserve bonus point, please read rugby league express match report in which calland says keighley deserved a bonus point, clearly you must be suffering from sunstroke or watching a different game to the rest of us

I for one, have said on this thread that I believe Keighley deserved a bonus point and would not have been too fussed if Patterson had missed the last kick.

However whilst were on the subject of pointing fingers. To the elderley woman stood to the left hand side of the seats who was shouting at the Halifax players (as they came over to clap the fans) "A***HOLES" can I just say "get a life"

couldn't make the game, how did Gleeson play?

I think most Keighley fans will accept that on paper you have a much better side than us and on any given day you [ishould[/i win.

However games are not played on paper and if you make mistakes that the other side takes advantage of then thats how the game goes.

We gave you a game: we gave you a scare.

The ref made poor decisions for both side which led to either tries being scored or disallowed.

If you finish top of the league I'll be happy for you, cos i quite like Fax. But if you finish fourth and say that other sides only finished above you because of your mistakes (or the ref) then a few people may make wry smiles



You certainly brought good support and I actually think your fans behind the post raised your players for that extra effort at the end and made the difference. Incidently your last try was off a forward pass



Good luck for the rest of the season.

Lets face it, you find people like that everywhere (even in Halifax

)

If any fan starts getting abusive, it's up to those round about to tell them to shut up. Nothing creates bad feeling between supporters more quickly than someone dissing someone else's team. Also, we can do without swearing and stuff - it's supposed to be a family game; who wants their kids subjected to loads of idiots swearing?

You lot should have been at the Widnes-Batley game and heard the stuff being shouted at the Widnes players as they walked off and the stuff shouted at Paul Cullen (who I may add was extremely controlled and dignified in his response).. All that abuse and there were kids trying to get autographs by the tunnel!!

Yep, although I had to take my Red, White and Green tinted specs off first.




It's a great shot actually, in defence of the officials that one would have been quite hard to call at full speed in real time. Would have gone upstairs if it had been on Sky.

Talking of abuse my wife was telling me the story of a man in Keighley colours who told one of our players to "Love off back to the mosque". He was savaged by his family who were with him and bluntly told that he was out of order.

Fair play to them.

You should know by now that you should take anything Calland says in the media with a pinch of salt!!



FWIW, I thought Keighley were pretty good at times yesterday, and totally committed. For us to concede 32 to the bottom club has got to be a concern though.

But with a little more composure and better discipline in the second half yesterday, and you might not have seen us for dust!!!

Officials were very poor but we clearly need to sort out our dicipline. Thought Jones, Wray and Law played their socks off for Keighley.

I know this goes on everywhere, but I thought I would just keep the discussion going, as it was a bit of finger pointing. To be fair the elderly woman looked as if she would be a sweet old lady on any other given day.

Oh yeh, I was very pleased with how he played, absolute belting first half. I just didn't see him in the second half that was all. Man of the match in my eyes anyway.



He had a strong game, nothing fancy. He calmed us down in attack when things were getting tense.

If this is true then whoever said it, if caught, should be banned from every rugby league ground for life.

That kind of abuse should not be tolerated in society never mind in a rugby ground.

It undermines all the fantastic community work the likes of Rach and Johnny Presley do on behalf of Keighley Cougars.

What makes it worse is that we have an up and coming 2nd row of asian decent, Wasim Shabir, on our books.

I'm with you on this one Stealth. Good post.

Video of the game. If i'm allowed to post it. Am i allowed to post it? I'll find out soon i guess



[iSorry, mate. Read the AUP.

TS[/i

The troulbe is Stealth this, if true is not the first time its happened at keighley.
The club has been warned about this before.
You rememeber the signs outside the hall of fame bar about it?

stealth, think you should mention Deano,Tommy H ,Jeremy and Bainsey in there as well , just so they dont feel left out , plus Liz my boss in the Classroom !

You all do a great job there, keep it up!

I do, which is why I think if people are caught they should be dealt with swiftly and harshly. Otherwise we all get tarred with the same brush.

...and that's why it's important that other fans should also show that they won't tolerate it.
As some clever bugger once said,
"For evil to flourish, it is enough for good men to do nothing."
Or something like that.
