You are correct.......he was playing park footie for Thirroul Butchers in the Illawarra Carlton League. I remember the days when we signed players from NRL clubs

nothing wrong with the first fc try from our view, the second try was cleared up by the commentry team after the game, apparently the ball wasnt moving in the in goal area and the broncos' fullback grounded with his foot in touch, if the ball was still moving it would've been a tap on the 20, but was over-ruled to a drop out by halibert, even the commentator admitted he,(not halibert), got the rule wrong.

as for the first half, i thought london played well, but second half fc upped a gear or two and steam rollered them

Another 30 odd point second half capitulation. What the hell went on?

Re: Hull Game : Sat May 04, 2013 8:24 am  

We should have been in the lead at half time we were the better side, but then they go in the sheds with Tony and immediately the second half starts we collapse, what goes on at half time? I thought it was a time to re-group Not turn off, to motivate not switch off

Again and again we talk about marketing but it is simply not worth it until you have a good product to sell on the pitch!

Don't know but as you say, it's a common pattern. Opposing coach spots our defensive weak points in the first half, not a difficult thing to do, and then they play on them after half time.

Perhaps their heads were spinning after listening to another MBA dissertation

Been to your place quite a few times (even made a long weekend of it once to take in York races) and had the pleasure of being sat in the worst corner of the ground allocated to away fans, not being able to enjoy a pint in your seat and having abuse hurled at us from the nearest home fans........oh, and about £20+ to get in. So strangely enough your reduced
ticket price is not enough to tempt me this time around. Perhaps there are a few issues that need to be sorted out before worrying about ticket prices.

Your going back a few years. Been able to take a beer to your seat for the last 3 seasons and the Chavs in the north east corner are virtually none existent these days. In fact the London fans who made it last night were put in the west (double tiered) stand along with the home fans.

Completely understand your issues in the past, but that's we're this issues now remain.
