Seeing as this was in the "de-railed" thread, I thought I'd keep this one ticking over on here:
Gingdong "Chequerfield were never kicked out of the league, The biting bit was on the head of a physio when they were playing Stanningley Crown in Leeds, Crown were the scummiest team iv ever played against, the physio was not an innocent bystander, it was a ball bearing gun not an air pistol it never hit the ref was just fired into the air. Throwing punches and trying to bully goes on in a lot of games, we played them in Ponte 1st game of the season beat them no problems. the lads told me themselves they had a tougher dirtier game in Greetland last Sat. Chequerfield had a few games running were they got some bad press and gave them a bad reputation, undeserved in my view i could name you many teams and clubs much, much worse than them and not all were from the old Yorks league"
Gingdong, did you not make the trip over to Greetland last saturday ? 'cos I watched the game with HalifaxJohn & it was far from that description in all honesty, Greetland are in the main a bunch of kids who have lost several lads recently who've gone on to Uni & it's weakened their side somewhat in terms of rugby. There was only one Greetland player who at any time was over-aggressive for a couple of minutes but other than that the visiting side were indisciplined in most ways giving away far too many penalties, although the high shots appeared to be lazy rather than malicious hits & it was Greetland's far superior energy & enthusiasm which got them their win rather than any other reason. It seems a far more competetive division 3 this season than what i saw last season.
Yes i managed to make the game, You miss my point, the game wasnt dirty at all but was still dirtier than when we played Ponte social away, so what does that say about them? Im just trying to point out that round these parts and with people that have played in the old Yorkshire league Chequerfield were never known as a bad team, not even in the top 20 worse teams. The guy on the other thread names some one that got racially abused there, but he must realise that was very common a few years back i played with a West Indian half back and he was abused everywhere including in Halifax but it never bothered him, made him laugh, i myself have been racialy abused at Queens. As for Saturday We were terrible our body language from the off was bad, we were lethargic and seemed uninterested, we had an half decent team on paper but didnt perform, they have been beasted with tackle bags tonight because of that performance, think the return might be a bit closer
Everytime i''ve played against you lot i've faced a completely different team over at your place.
