they're conspiring to cock it up, barrow have been pants really. and going for all the 2's smacks of bp syndrome and dessies ambition to win it on tv.


as i speak the take a drop........why? still 2 scores down.

WTF all that celebrating

coming on the back of 2 defeats.

Dave Allen also looked like a tool dancing at the end.

Barrow looked poor and their attitude stunk. Playing the soft game and celebrating a defeat like they've won a grand final. Terrible mind set. A true Championship winning side would have gone into that game all guns blazing to win. They didn't even make an effort to win.

What a strange club. You get nothing for coming top of the league. Hopefully this soft attitude will carry them into defeat in the play offs.

Looks like were all on away day specials in the play offs!!!!!!


Ah well at least we have the Northern Rail Cup for now.

its not really 2 defeats. they wont be down about losing they will think they have won they have won the league.

now Halifax have blown it really with 5 defeats in a row, not only that but we have to go to there place on a thursday night and then if we lose most probably have a home game against wither you or sheffield and if its you you will fill the north stand be really up for it and then end up beating us and sending us out of the play offs.

we need to beat Barrow up there because you turn up in big games and if we meet you then i can see us getting turned over again.

That's the spirit Faxtastic

.

The way all of the teams are palying at the mo' I couldn't care less who we meet or where we meet them.

I don't want o appear too cocksure but comparing our current form (long break notwithstanding) we should be feeling pretty confident going on rivals performances of late.

Anyone else finding it easy to hate Barrow above anyone else in this league?

Thick as pig chairman.
Probably around 30 first team players on the books...buying anybody with a repuation.
As skillful as their wide players are, they're rubbish to watch.
Now tonight, where their approach was an absolute disgrace and for the first time since its inception, the bonus point has been abused.

The worst champions this league has ever seen.

....................... i would like to counter this if i may.

Everything you've put is agreeable BUT - they've finished at the top of the pile at the first attempt. Surely you have to doff your cap slightly at that achievement.

well said.

so i take it you would have rather Halifax have won the league then.

Finishing top of the pile don't tick no boxes!

I can just imagine a toothless, bruised and battered Gary Broadbent on the 4th October after a hard fought victory.

"Y'now i'm reet proud. We've ticked a box. Best day of me life like y'now..."

What a complete bunch of narrow minded, jealous ********* on this board !!

You rave about Kevin Penny the Turncoat and then have the audacity to slag Dave Allen off ?? Did you all see him singing on Warringtons open top bus - glory hunter and a complete turncoat, who's ar*e you all hang out of for some reason !

Put it into context here -Barrow are Minor Premiers at the 1st attempt from being newly promoted, NRC Finalists and Bookies favourites to win the GF....................................Not to long ago we were struggling in Division 2 !!

Regardless of what you think of our Chairman you need to recognise what he has helped build up at Barrow and please change the record about the Salary cap as it is terribly boring. If Barrow have breached it then the club will be punished.

I find it very easy to dislike Widnes supporters having read this thread - At least fans from other clubs have the decency to say "well done".

The Playoffs are cup final football from now on for all involved. The winner will get all the plaudits BUT a League Table tells no lies and we are top of the pile on merit. Where are Widnes sat in the League tonight ?

Barrow RLFC have upset the applecart and according to you lot are easy to hate. Maybe success breeds this into other supporters which is a shame.

Doesn't change the fact the game against Sheffield was a joke. There appeared to be no attempt to win the game at one point. We'll never know, but all of that pressure by Barrow in the 2nd half could have took the game away from Sheffield (if they had gone for tries instead of kicks)and who know what the score would have been. You know full well had that have been a team like Halifax, they wouldn't have played in that way. It would have served Barrow right if they had have f'cked that up and lost by more than 12.

And Barrow have beaten Widnes how many times this season???

Many, but not the one that mattered!!!

but not when it matters

Dave Clark kept talking like they'd won the lot



'championship this & that!'

That semi final is going to be dire

the two most off form sides in the league in the top 2!

You got that one wrong owd cock!!!!

The most "off form" side in the league ain't in the top two!!!

Firstly, we've been more successful than you in terms of silverware this season so why on earth would we be jealous at you finishing top which in reality means very littleother than a chance to go straight to the final?


Secondly how can you associate the opinion of one person hating Barrow with all of us?

Thirdly, you looked very poor last night. Certainly a world away from grand final contenders, this is fact.

Finally stop crying like a big baby, it's not like your team earned it's plaudits last night. Your record in the big finals this season is hardly a glorious one.

If you're looking for a big pat on the back you're hardly going to get one from us on the back of last night's display.

Putting your 'achievements' into context, you've still won all so far.

Do you read before you right? Or you still learning literacy in Cumbria?

How does 'looked like a tool dancing'

equate to slagging him off? PRAT!

Yes well done on winning the minor premiership (sorry couldn't resist) but coming on arguing the toss about every little post after 1 good season aint enderaing yourself as 'champions' is it?

You misread my point. I'm NOT a bitter WIDNES fan. I just find the whole Barrow club easy to dislike, because the whole club reaks. That's not taking away from the fantastic job Dave Clark has done.

And hell, who cares. We'll be in Super League before you.



So you disgruntled Cumbrian morons, READ that first post again.

How can you disagree with any of it?

You've been signing anyone and everyone. FACT
You played to lose on Thursday. FACT
Your chairman is a tool. OPINIONATED FACT
Your team is rubbish to watch. OPINION THAT MANY WILL AGREE WITH.

Bless your cotton socks.

Yes, I must admit I found myself changing allegiance half way through the match last night from wanting the Barrow win to hoping Sheffield smashed them so Fax could win the league!

The only other thing I would point out about people saying we are an inform side. At home maybe, but we've lost our last two away games to Gateshead (who have come into a bit of form I guess) and a very poor Fev side. We have been garbage away from home all season, except when we've played Fax for some reason (couple of narrow defeats and a win). Even then, we should have lost that semi had Ben Black not slapped on the butter.

Cullen needs to find an answer to our away form and fast. Otherwise, our playoff journey ain't gonna last that long!

thanks i had nearlly forgotten that and pretended it was a dream.

they havent beaten fax this seaon at all.

i know that doesnt mean much going to the play offs but surely that gives fax some sort of advantage knowing that we can beat them.
