As usual the players didn't want it enough, as has been shown by other results throughout the season.
Anyway the difference this result will make to the indifference shown by the people of Keighley will be negligible.
Shame that all the work done by the volunteers has not been rewarded.

Will your club just throw in the towel and accept relegation or will they challenge the RFL decision?

Re: Not surprised. : Sun Sep 07, 2014 4:11 pm  

The RFL have not responded to any of my queries about their inept administration. They believe that they are above that.

However, had we performed against teams that we should have beaten (Leigh 2 points and North wales 2 points) plus others, today's result wpould not have mattered.

It will be interesting to see which players decide to stay next season.

Sadly IMO our Chairman is not one that will go toe to toe with someone so I don't expect him to do very much to be honest.

How anyone can say the players did not want it enough after that performance today is being a bit harsh IMO. They fought today I was proud of the performance they put in. Sadly it didn't go our way in the end and I feel for Shick. Yes, we can look at certain areas of the game that maybe cost us, but that's sport. Club officials now need to take time to reflect and build for next season. There needs to be some changes in a few areas but I'm not sure we have the money or commitment to do that.

Over the season we weren't good enough and how we can play well one week and then abysmal for other games is the real reason. On that performance we showed we're a top 6 side, but sadly too many times we've played like a C1 team. Rule breakers have survived and it leaves a very bitter taste.

What to say at a time like this, having just recently gone through it with Bradford I guess all I can say is a quote from your very own CountyDurhamCougar
Well, that's that then, the Cougars are down

Great! We won't be playing the Dulls! Or cheats!

There is one advantage after all. At least I won't have to go to your dump of a ground and surround myself with your people.

Surprised they let you go down. Life's difficult when The RFL don't pull out all the stops for you isn't it?

So are bulls?

Re: Not surprised. : Sun Sep 07, 2014 6:08 pm  

Haha yes fair enough. We all laugh at each other's demise.

So close today. Think I've had enough!

You've obviously been saving that one up for a while. I make no apology for enjoying the demise of the Dulls and look forward to doing it again soon. I have a long memory! We've had so many kicks in the teeth and been handed the s h i t t y end of the stick so many times that we just take it in our stride now. You on the other hand, favourites of the clowns at the RFL for so long, must find it much harder to take. Suck it up, Dulls.
