It's a distinction that Sheens drew ahead of last season. As he defines it...

You lose by conceding more points than you score. It happens.

Getting beat is where the opposition show more desire, energy, enthusiasm, spirit etc.
It shouldn't happen.

So if the former happened to you in every round before the split could Sheens justifiably claim that you've gone unbeaten all season?

Is there an imaginary League Table ?
Rovers are actually on 2 points as they
Didn’t lose
It’s almost George Orwellian

Have you read much of Orwell’s work?

You guys are great
Of little importance but as you brought it up I am catching up with 2 players I coached from a young age
Hadley and Shaul
I’m meeting them after the St George game invited by AP
I only brought this up as you mentioned my coaching

That’d be little or none then would it, TF?

If you’d genuinely like to engage on the appropriateness of your comparison, or any other subject of relevance, feel free to pm me. But as this narrow vein of humour now seems to have been exhausted...
