Glad this season is over !

Bored fartless by today's game......that fooking ref made me want to commit homicide....the fooking dick.
How the hell could he send two players to the bin?
For chickenfeed offences.
Not complaining that in any way that had a bearing on the good Gateshead performance.....but for christ sake?
It makes you wonder about conspiracy theories.

I'm surprised it took you so long to think that there is conspiracy in Rugby League

No complaints today, we looked an amateur outfit, the ref was on our back because of the lack of knowledge in our side. It was like the sixth form aaginst the first year. Not sure which ten Miller is keeping on that showing.

Some Gateshead fans need to remember where they where a few years ago and show a little humility. But I suppose when you consume that amount of ale all reasoning goes out the window.

Glad the crappy season is over and we get chance to start a fresh. No big ideas, no big promises and hopefully the finances are not
squandered/ wasted like previous years. My one real hope for next year is for us to live within our means and that hopefully includes everyone connected with the club.

There may well be.....but I doubt that refs are involved.
To call a ref a cheat is an absolute insult......and I hear it at games regularly.
IF refs are truly cheats and can pass down conspiracy from the RFL down to pitch level then we may as well all pack in.
I don't believe it happens.
Refs don't give a fook who wins.
But a lot of them are incompetent.
Not cheats....... just crap guessers who take the easy option.

The referee was actually Neil Turley's brother, not sure why he was appointed for this game considering what was at stake elsewhere. He did absolutely hammer the Dons though. I thought you did quite well considering most of those boys were playing amateur a year ago while certain Gateshead players were playing with the likes of Inglis, Folau and Scott Prince.

Glad season over.

Gateshead looked good at times to be fair, but penalty count really did knock us back.

I do not believe for one second we were any less disiciplined than Thunder...

The fact that the ref spent half the time laughing with the Gateshead players was duly noted by a few around me.

Still we turned up and tried, i would hate to be seen to be harsh on those that have stuck it out - but as long as we signed a new 6 and 7 i could live with the rest of the team as a starting point...

Here's to another few months DIY on a Sunday.
