Barlow, surprised nobody has mentioned the bottle that was thrown at him that started the whole incident! Not an excuse but we still must have some context.

But lets move on. If this is the worst that happened all day then I will happily accept it because nobody actually got hurt. An amazing game with one small and insignificant unsavoury moment. I can understand DP's frustrations at the end; to be out played and out coached in a final must be very embarrassing and frustrating! However, as a coach (and player) there is a way to conduct yourself and he hasn't done well on that front.

Spitting at women and kids if you think that's awesome then your an idiot.

At what minute of the game did this allegedly happen? Looking at the photos the Fev fans could be even further away from him than I first thought. It will be on camera though and if it did happen something will come of it. If nothing does then you can be pretty sure that it didnt. The beauty of it been held at a footy ground and been Fev fans in attendance means that CCTV is on at all times, hence a Fax fan getting led out for underage drinking.

Just as we did last year when we lost to Leigh. Some seem to take losing better than others.

There's no doubting DPs qualities as a coach.

But after their victory at shay and seeing KH going off on one (looking a bit daft) on Prem Sports you would have thought DP would have learn't something.

His comments yesterday were childish and not of the quality you would expect from a coach of his abilities.

Only positive is that us Fans love it

How will Fev react from this? Have the wheels fallen off or will they take the GF with ease? who knows can't wait to see!

Re: Daryl Powell : Mon Jul 30, 2012 10:31 am  

I often wonder who gets these penalties that coaches complain go against them. Somebody must be winning the penalty count somewhere.

Last week we had Jason Demetriou complaining about the heavy penalty count. Penalty count ? 11-11 - FACT.

Re: Daryl Powell : Mon Jul 30, 2012 10:36 am  

Would just like to say congratulations, you were the better team on the day and deserved the win. Can understand powell being dissappointed after losing same as kh was earlier in the season, emotions run high sometimes.

I thought it was a great match, a real old battle with both teams giving it there all. Also i thought both sets of fans were good and i had good craic with a few fax fans before match. Good look for rest of season and hopefully we'll meet again in final but with us winning lol.
I think the more teams that tick the box for sl the better, the rfl cant ignore as all.

Re: Daryl Powell : Mon Jul 30, 2012 10:50 am  

I really hope this accusation against Sam didn't happen, or the bottle throwing incident. It must have happened ( if at all ) before the last try 'cos there weren't too many Fev fans left after that score. Disappointing not wanting to applaud either your own team or the winners off at the end of an epic tussle.
Powell really has let himself down in my opinion,him approaching 'Fax players in that manner after the game was unprofessional to say the least & his comments were shallow.

Re: Daryl Powell : Mon Jul 30, 2012 11:33 am  

Can I firstly say well done Fax on your win your defence was great yesterday and your coach got his tactics spot on you never know we might get a chance to play you again this season

Regarding the Barlow incidents firstly giving us fans the V sign and telling us to F off is very unprofessional but i could live with that then later spitting towards the crowd is disgusting and should not be allowed as for the alleged throwing of a bottle I didn't see that but Barlow did pick a programme up so that may of been thrown and if true that should also be delt with

Regarding the fans I had a great weekend with our own and the Halifax fans and hope to have some great time in the future with you

I haven't seen the Powell interview so cannot comment but I wouldn't worry to much. Karl accused us of cheating a couple of week ago but they know what they are doing and I have reason to believe they will still be good friends

As I said well done you were the best team and deserved your win in the final

Re: Daryl Powell : Mon Jul 30, 2012 3:15 pm  

Coaches should send there 2nd in command out after the game to do an interview if there hyped up, because there going to come out with some shiiiiite they will later regret. As for the game i half expected the result and i left straight after the game because couldnt be arsed to clap anyone afterwards. As for Barlow you can let him off for a bit of showboating he obviously is a decent lad for what he did for Tangi Roparti, but if he has spit into the crowd thats out of line and he could get arrested for that and would deserve it
