I want to live in a fantasy world believing we have a faultless club setup.

That's better.
Nothing personal, it's just that my eyes hurt and i'm a sensitive little soul. Anyway - all our problems will be solved in approximately two hours. The £37m Euro lottery is as good as in my pocket and i'm going to splash the cash down at The Shay.

This thread is depressing -it's getting pathetic!

The club's going places - just look at the display against Cas a few weeks ago. We've got a great squad and a top class coaching team. Matt Calland's just committed to the club - which is fantastic news. The players are a great set of lads and I just wanted to give an example of what they do in the community.

Last Saturday I was asked by Illingworth RLFC if I could help out with their junior presentation night. They wanted a Halifax player to present the trophies and big Frank Watene gave up his Saturday evening at just a few hours notice and travelled over from his Castleford home to present the awards. The youngsters were thrilled to bits and all think Halifax are great. This is just an example of some of the positive things they do in the community.

Ben Black is kindly giving up his Saturday evening to present the trophies at Halifax Irish's presentation night tomorrow. He was only asked yesterday as well.

We've got two massive games coming up and if we win those then things really will be looking up.

There are faults in ANY system but its coming across that you and Mal have a big problem with each other. Sometimes its better to say things face to face or let things go rather than have a rant on a Public Forum where all can see.

I do not think many of us are interested in the problems you and Mal have with each other and I am sure that these could be discussed properly. I respect you and the work you have done with the club. I respect Mal and the work he does and know the club would be a lot poorer if you two have not got involved in the past. However to criticize the work of somebody here is in my opinion wrong. I also feel the way you criticized was not the right way neither. Thats not saying you are wrong with your opinions same as Mal and others are not wrong with their views. Its just the way its been done. I want to see this thread become more positive and looking at ways the club can move forward-not criticizing the work of people or the way they have done things. I am sure the club and many volunteers know they have made mistakes and lessons need to be learned. However we also need to look at areas that have not really been covered and how we can push the club forward. Any problems with the way things are/have been done should be reserved for Trust Meetings etc rather than on here.

You should have read the whole thread before making some of those comments. The slagging match was not started by me, I just joined in and rather childishly, retaliated!

I totally accept that people's loyalties on here would lay with the club, and don't hold that against anybody in any way, but to have all these comments directed at me makes me thinks some of you need to take your blinkers off!
