I wasn't watching a different game, I was merely saying what I saw after the match. It was commented on by a few people near me also. They didn't sm to come over to the fans, they never made it into the 20m area. If I'm wrong then fine, just having a discussion, not starting an argument.
Yes your players were gutted, and understandably, your fans must have been gutted too.
Personally I think the Widnes fans were a credit to their club last night, some good banter. Especially liked the "forward" shouts in first half. Very amusing. Think you might get to do that again at Leeds next year, their South Stand is worse than ours at calling "forward" for every pass.

True i do remember the majority coming over but a few may have not so i guess it comes down to what individual people saw. To say we played badly i think a few people, Widnes fans included are taking it a bit far. We were in the game all the way until the end. For 60% we were probably ahead. We played some very good attacking rugby last night but fair do's to Fax they came back at us strong and i couldn't sit here and say they didn't deserve the win.

We were 12 points ahead and we threw the game away with penalty after penalty. We can't afford to do that against any team in this division.

Best of luck for the future, great atmosphere last night behind the sticks.

To be fair to Widnes they were crap. I said they were the worst team i had seen this season when we played at yours and ive seen nothing to change my mind. A really poor team but whats it matter?

We had half a team missing and still won, i feel sorry for Widnes fans as in the last 3 years of the Championship they havnt really achieved anything.

So you think were the worst team even though we are 3rd in the table

The reason we lost the game was because of our bad discipline, the ref wasn't bad! If you noticed most of our tries were actually quite good, whereas your were just close to the line, same old tries.

"Same old tries".

Same old loss for Widnes. Do Leigh also win by running in "same old tries"?

Re: Halifax beat Widnes : Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:27 pm  

" Same old Tries " Should know how to stop us then

Re: Halifax beat Widnes : Fri Aug 12, 2011 7:38 pm  

Still third in the league, and i feel we can beat Fev at home.Widnes are not that crap, otherwise you would have smashed us.The ref did help Fax.

Doesn't matter who you play, it's hard to stop a team when they have repeat sets on your line.
So do you think that Halifax played attractive rugby? At times they looked clueless!
