noone is saying that you didnt play well on the day

i think that there was a build up to the game that would have made which ever team lost it would have been difficult for the fnas.

i think we just were so hoping for a final after all the years we are finding it difficult to get over.

its not that you were not worhty opponents i think all this started cause after the game some of your fans tossed a line into the fax board and went fishing for an argument by gloating and some of our fans took the bate, most notably me for a while.

i was so looking forward to the game it really did take me a few days to get over it as i had already planned a day trip to blackpool if we had got there.

Two huge matches. Still, both of those pale into insignificance when David Campbell gave THAT decision at St Helens in 1994(check with boffins?). That was a disgrace - a decision based on solely getting out of Knowlsley Road alive. It still angers me today.

I'm almost certain Dave Campbell played on the wing for Stains before taking up the whistle.

Stop being melodramatic. No one is saying 'Widnes were just superior in every single way on Sunday'.

We were the better side on the day, even if you refuse to see it. Clearly none of you saw this coming and you're finding it hard to come to terms with this defeat, so you're blaming the ref, the Widnes fans, the Widnes players and everyone's against you.

Halifax had a very good 15 - 20 minutes in the 2nd half, that's it. You certainly competed for the rest and neither side out-played the other. Widnes came back twice to take that game and edged a thriller. It's a real pity that most, if not all, Halifax fans cannot acknowledge this and give credit where it is most certainly due.

Halifax fans are just making themselves look ridiculous and very small-time indeed. The Haven fans have been very similiar over the years, and I hope we're not going to get this every-time we beat you, like it did with them.

Calland is also not doing Halifax any favours either, because he's vexed off most of the other clubs in this league by saying Halifax are a country mile better than everyone else. By not also acknowledging Widnes as being worthy winners, it will just fire up Widnes' dressing room up even more whenever we play you this season.


That's good advice to be fair.

We all gave credit to Sheffield when thy beat us, they were better on the day. You weren't.

i dont know about anyone else but am getting bored of talking about this game now we lost the result isnt going to change.

i was a little bit over the top till yesterday about this game and people noticed i was posting on this board excessively.

i thought about it last night and i realised that yes we might have lost the match but the rugby we are serving up these days compafred to some of the stuff we have produced for many a season since we were relegated up until last season we didnt have a top squad and we were not producing rugby that we can be proud of every week.

we lost but i for one had a good time at the game we played some exceleent stuff at times and i just think instead of going on about this game yes we would all love to be in the final but asitting on here complaining about it nearly 4 days after it is not going to change anything.

we should forget it and be proud that we cant turn up on a sunday afternoon and usually watch a game of rugby that we can be proud to watch and be proud to be fax fans.

up the fax. the season is only just begining.
