Ulverstonian Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Well. to say I wasnt expecting that result and performance is an understatement. Regardless of the game changing injuries to Smith and Burke and the sin binnings and sending off it was a very poor effort. We were on the back foot most of the game and never really created pressure. The end decisions never cost us the match but obviously did influence the final score. Very very disappointed . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider83 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Yeah not a great start to the season at all. We're gonna need to improve massively if we are gonna have a decent season. Forget this result now and concentrate on the next game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red square Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Haven't seen any footage of the game but once again (as seems to be the case every season) lack of discipline appears to be a factor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutralfan7 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Hope your lads injuries are ok! Let's hope the sending off/sin bins for both Barrow & Haven doesn't affect anyone's availability for the good Friday derby! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this ,as much as I was surprised it was brad this weekend their are certain players who just can't keep their mouths shut during a game , particularly stacky and johnno,fab players and servants to the club but their always in the officials ears and tbh I think that kind of behaviour can spread within the players , unfortunately it's a highly physical game that plays on the emotions especially if you think your getting a bum deal from officials ,live and learn I suppose and hope cresta reads the riot act because all it does is affect their team mates 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) I wonder if this is anything to do with the applications of the new tackling rules? The inconsistent interpretation of these is causing a lot of frustration with players and supporters. Edited March 19 by Dave W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raider91 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I don't think we could have got off to a worse start. 3 key players sent off/in the bin. 2 key players burke and Smith injured likely long term. So a minimum of 5 key players potentially out for a period of time is an absolute disaster. The players need to take accountability for this quick without being too dramatic this could have a huge effect on our season and with the recent changes in structure it could be detrimental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Cents Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 No idea what's going on with Tee Ritson and Saints. He hasn't been selected this season and now with Tommy Makinson injured and centre Percival banned, Paul Wellens said he'll likely stick with the same team v Leeds on Friday - ie: centre Blake on the wing and forward Whitley in the centre. For whatever reason flying winger Tee is totally out of favour and can't get a game in the 1st team. Wonder if he regrets leaving Barrow - maybe we could get him loaned back? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering where he was the other day. Sky used him as one of the pictures on a advert. If he's not getting a game at Saints then surely he can play SL with London, Cas, Hull FC etc and show his worth? It seems a total waste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivans82 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Totally understand how you Barrow fans feel . We at Town are crippled with injuries compounded by Refs who are inconsistent at best , it seems like you are getting pinged for things the other side get away with , and this frustrates the crowd and players alike .......As for Tee Ritson we are down to the same old argument , do you pick a class lightning quick winger , or a big lump to fill a gap , it`s all down to size these days unfortunately . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where you get your facts figures from to come to that conclusion,however we do have some vocal players just like any other team. Dissent towards the referee is not acceptable and will only cost the team on the pitch and in their pockets. Players need to control their emotions a little better and take some decisions on the chin,I believe the standard of officiating has decreased which can become very frustrating for players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RawlinsonRaider Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 It's not Soccer and is creeping into the game more and more. More respect for the officials and team mates and they'll be ok. But Officials will have their card marked now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grade E is 3 - 5 match ban plus a fine from the very 1st game of the Season. Shooting ourselves in the foot from the get-go. Let this be a lesson for everyone else (Stack & Johnson particularly) for the rest of the season. Fortunately Adam Jackson is a competent replacement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
