I can't help wonder why the player himself, who must have known that he was cup-tied, seems to have escaped punishment.

Ostick's only a young lad isn't he? He probably just wanted to play and was a bit naïve.

Credit to the Director of Football for falling on his sword, as the guy who signed him he should have known if he was eligible to play and told the coach not to play him. It was the honourable thing to do.

It'll be one hell of a job to motivate the players after the club has effectively shafted them out of they cup and, looking at the draw, a not too unrealistic shot at a semi-final.

Will they round on young Ostick? Will they want out? Will they have a coach?

If I was Barry Eaton I'd get the players unbelievably fired up for this one because if we got 2 or 3 early tries I reckon they'd capitulate.

This game can't come soon enough IMO.

Apparently not! Fax 46 - 24 Barrow

Ouch! That's a belting result.

Let's hope they've taken it all out on Barrow.

Either that or can we play Gateshead instead!

We can always hope they'll get over-confident.

Re: Will we feel the backlash? : Mon May 17, 2010 7:44 pm  

theres always a chance we can be over confident at times.

Brannighan plays though and we have a lot more direction and control about our play, it could be a long long afternoon for your boys on sunday if we click again

Well hopefully you'll bring an army of fans down to watch it now you're playing better.

£14 adults, kids in for a quid and a more than decent indie band playing for entertainment.

Add to that good quality ale in a proper bar and no rip off caterers it'll be a cheap game for you fax fans.

And Cross Bar Challenge being £500 !!!!

Re: Will we feel the backlash? : Tue May 18, 2010 8:03 pm  

Looking forward to this game, as always! Hopefully we'll still be able to make ourselves heard over the Fax fans - the band afterwards is a nice touch too, although I'm up early next morning so I'll have to watch mesen...
