Cullen?...His team had a poor record of playing Saints when the Knowsley Roaders were rubbish

Thought he gave a fair assessment, remove your red and white glasses and don't scream when someone looks at the game from a neutral point of view without proclaiming that you are going to win the GF, he gave the plus and minus points to every side especially his beloved Wire,

I never mentioned the GF
Just pointing out that in our 3rd season in superleague we still only win
due to the opposition having an off day

(even when we win by 36 points away from home)

Didn't think he came across too bad actually. In any case, we won, so who cares?

Hope every pundit and opposition coach carries on proclaiming that their team played bad when Rovers play them.....it would mean a very succesful season for us.

We just take the game for what it was, 2 points gained away from home against a team that should be challenging for silverware at the back end of the season.

We can only beat what's in front of us on the pitch, Saints didn't play poorly & nearly all the Saints fans agree we deserved our win, I'll take that & move on.

Yup indeed.

Another over reaction by the bobbins. Cullen made some very valid points and indeed gave Rovers plenty of praise. I went last Friday and was disappointed at the overall quality of the game. It was a fantastic result for Rovers don't get me wrong and it was exciting because it was a close contest, but i reckon Rovers have played better there in the past and been soundly beaten.

Just my opinion mind

Thanks for the plural!! As you can see from some of the above posts not all of us over react. Not sure why but some seem to take things far too personally, Cullen was just giving the point of view of a neutral. He didn't exactly say anything surprising, at the end of the day if you win at Saints these days, it's generally because they've played poorly. If they play well you're not likely to win, pretty obvious IMO.
