Those bloody officials.....FFS!
Why can't we complain ....they were terrible?
This game is a joke.
What's the point in having rules?
They are killing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right..... we have rested players for the York game.......fair play.
But this had better not backfire.
Blackpool IMHO will be the top side in the division so tonight was not too bad.....but the clock is ticking!!!!!!
I will be there against York and I expect a win......seemples.

Where do they get these officials from?
The standard so far this season has been dire in this league. I know a Cas fan who is always moaning about the refs but he should think himself lucky not to be saddled with these jokers we get stung with.

On a different note i suggest Andy Hobson consults an anger management specialist or retires if he can't hack it!

Some of our tackling late on in the middle of the pitch was just brilliant to behold.
''Get down"......there were some beauties....the lads were really fired up. Much longer and someone would have had to walk....it was brutal.....but it sure as hell galvanised the tiny crowd.
Worth the entrance money alone it was.
I bet there were some bruises this morning.
Liam Brown kept clattering in DESPITE already having an injured leg.

On a slight downer .....our left side defence (particularly centre and winger) were made to look silly last night. They were waltzing by them...it must have happened for about four tries.
Although to be fair Blackpool were just blatantly throwing forward passes and the ref and his useless linesmen did nothing to prevent repetitions.
I seriously considered walking out at one point because of the appalling standard of this referee.....but the effort from the lads kept me in my seat.

The left side defence needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency before the York game.....if anyone of influence is reading this.....please!
That aside it was a cracking display by the lads.....in relative terms.

It was the first time this season there'd been any "handbags" and I was happy with the response. Backed each other up and came out the other side responding with bigs hits. We need to start Sunday the way we finished yesterday.

After every game I just thinking back to the odd key moment or two that seemed to go against us and take the game out of our hands, surely that has got to change soon!

I still feel a win is not far off, and the key to that win will be creating tries when we start within their 20, rather than scoring all long distant efforts

You're right there......we are scoring some spectacular (individualistic) tries and not scoring the short yardage (team) tries. in fact we are poor in that area.


PS I don't know if has been mentioned ......for those that didn't go.... the crowd was 192



PPS The referee has let it be known that there was a mistake on the team sheet.....it said Referee T Roby.....it should have said Ropey.

Thought the best try of the evening was Ellerys, given that there was no way that Danny Stanley should have been allowed to offload that close to the tryline.

In my opinion, there are far more positives to take from the game than negatives, our defensive effort at times was truly outstanding, and we only let tries in in the last 10 minutes because that effort had taken so much out of us.
If we can manage to keep that sort of effort up for a full game, and couple it with the likes of Bovill, Leaf and Steen returning to the team, then we will win more games than we will lose.

I felt a lot better after watching last nights performance, than I did after the South Wales game, there appears to be some light at the end of the tunnel now.

He's not alone there ... Carl Hall told us last night to bring our 'winning voices' with us on Sunday.

I thought some of the replacements were better than some of those that didn't play.......and that it should be on a merit basis who plays against York.

I had the York coach and stats man in front of me last night and I did nt think they looked too concerned.

Once again we played as individuals (with some notable exeeptions) for most of the game with little idea in the opposition 20 and on too many occasions weak in our own as they were faster, stronger and better organised.

Of course Miller is going to say the Dons are going to win and I hope he s right.

Hopefully York, aided by their spies, will fall into the trap of attacking us down our left wing.

At Swinton, we definately seemed a better side during the periods Paul Shaw was on

There is not a chance that we can beat york- all pie in the sky.......

The left side defence needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency before the York game.....if anyone of influence is reading this.....please!

Totally agree the left side defence was woeful most of the game, it didn't take Blackpool long to work it out either as the majority of their tries came down that side. Other than that plenty of positives to take from the game.

There's always some chance......however small.
And in this case if we get stuck in....we have a real chance.
We have got better and better despite losing......so it's only a matter of time before we win.
I may be wrong but I don't think York are as good as Blackpool.
We will see.......I would hate to miss our first win.
<Max Boyce mode>
To say...."I was there".

I can't remember the last time I saw us win..

23/01/10 for me.

I was at work that day...
