Iain Morrison is not a prop forward. Hope that helps.

Gary. It's a pity your sensible question and early excellent replies has been railroaded by Fax fans.

Surely, as a Barrow fan you know that there's not much point worrying about the coach, as he'll only be in the job for a few months anyway?

As for McCormack, everyone knows he has coached teams to 4 grand finals in this league and lost each one, but to be fair to him, he was coaching the clear underdog in each one of those games. I don't think you can really conclude that he is in some way lacking in big game preparation from that.

i know where every where arnt we

Strange isn't that when Rovers were in the National leagues, we were never bothered with the Halifax trolls like you lot are. Perhaps it's because we usually thrashed them.

Props that we have got are 1.pickersgill 2.haggerty 3.gannon 4.kavanagh 5.houghton 6.mullaley. I think that is sufficient to be honest.Season has not started and what i am saying is if sign 3 or 4 players we will have a good team.We have second rowers but i think a centre,winger/fullback and a secondrower is only a few signings.Why you trolling here you knob?Halifax will have a good side again and not doubting it.But all i am saying we will be competitive again and be their or abouts at the end of the season.So jog on prick.

really, is there any need?

You scousers are like bottles of fizzy pop...

I really hope you sign someone soon as the tension is clear for all to see.

I suppose not. I mean you're quite right that we don't need soldierboy to point out that you are a prick and a knob as you so often make that so clear yourself!!

Still a facts a fact I suppose.

yeh suppose so..

MUTANT

That's a first someone from west yorkshire questioning another persons origins, they all look the same in the foothills of the pennines around Halifax and Elland. Must be the years of inbreeding.

My missus is from Widnes and she is certainly no mutant, inbred.

you misunderstand Franz. it's a compliment. To mutate is to evolve and since there has been little in the way of evolution that has taken place in Yorkshire they lovingly refer to us highly evolved folk as Mutants.

Bless them and their acorn sized minds and lack of personal hygene.

According to you, she mustn't be very bright either:

Mcormack

Dreadful 1 dimentional coach.5 drives and a kick.

Thats easy to understand isnt it

I know, I keep winding her up with that one, after all we only met at Uni, you know the type of place people from Halifax can only dream about.

It's well known over here that West Yorkshire is the abode of the unwashed.
Whereas in the East of the county we are highly developed and refined individuals.

Steve Mac is a lovely bloke but, as a coach, he's totally gash!

He has one method of play - 5 drives and a kick - and if that doesn't work, he's clueless. He'll just stand there with his arms crossed looking all stern and serious. At the end of the game he tell you how he knows what went wrong and will put it right in training. He won't say what he thought the problem was, or what he's going to do in training, so you'll be non the wiser.

Before the next game you'll hear how hard they've been working in training and how they won't make the same mistakes as last time - which of course they do. Before you know it there'll be pictures in your local rag of the players training. This will include tying each other up with socks and wizzing along on water slides WEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

You will not be surprised to see a completely disorganised mess of a defensive line, with most of the team stood under the posts looking frightened and the inevitable try that will be scored by any team with even a rudimentary ability to pass and kick and run. The attack won't be much better organised either. So 5 drives and a kick it is then. He is totally incapable of building a proper squad and just picks who played well against his team the previous season, no matter what position they play. He'll just play them out of position if he has to. So you'll end up with 8 back rowers and just one prop forward. He'll realise the error he's made, and try to recruit loan players to put it all right. It won't make much difference though. They'll still be totally disorganised and playing 5 drives and a kick.

Because the players know that Steve is a soft touch, most of them wouldn't have bothered turning up for training, so what little game plan he has will not be instilled in them. So they'll have no idea what they are doing or how they figure in the great 5 drives and a kick masterplan. So they just lumber about the pitch in a pathetic attempt to please. Occasionally they will succeed. But mostly they won't.

As a fan you'll be bored, and as it goes on, angry. That anger will simmer into outrage, with lot's of ant-Mac abuse from surrounding supporters - with less and less of then turning up - it will curdle into a sullen, silent discontent.

Fortunately for Barrow You have:

(a) Already ticked the box

(b) Already have a good squad recruited

(c) At least have a great kicker - Jamie Rooney - who might actually make 5 drives and a kick work

(d) Have a chairman who, for once, will do the right thing early and sack the useless c*nt.





HTH

I've got a 2i in History thanks - Leeds Uni, but i don't find cause to talk about it. It's the norm for Halifax youngsters. Was it a big achievement for you going to Uni? First one in the family - that kind of thing? Well done you.

Hey, and when Sarah Ferguson has to come to Halifax to patronise our troggs, then i'll disown the place. In the meantime, have a read of this

You must be the one with a brain cell then,

did i mention we also have 2 super league clubs and premiership football club in one city??

Thanks. I think there's also couple of people on the Fax forum who've been to Uni. Wow. Great stuff.

No, i didn't realize about the two SL clubs and a Premier League side. That's great. Well done Hull. I take it from your bullish statements you are in some way responsible for this fantastic achievement? I doff my cap Franz.

Don't worry lad, you'll still be in the CC when we are playing widnes at Craven Park.

The Challenge Cup? So? Or do you mean Championship and can't quite work out which letters to use to shorten it? I think it's you who may have gone to school in Widnes.

My son goes to a school in Widnes, and it's one of the top 30 schools in the country.

My bad.

Take no notice of the Halifax fan, school is a novelty for them.
