Yesterday I was stood behind the sticks close to the bulk of the Donny fans and I was really surprised at the abuse our Ollie was getting from your fans, some of the comments were abhorrent. Not sure what he did to deserve it and pretty sure nothing he did on the feild justified it. Such a shame as he really enjoyed his time at Donny, gave 100% in every game and if you'd gone up I'm pretty sure he would have signed for you.

I thought Dewsbury were deserved winners yesterday.
With ball in hand they showed more shape in attack and targeted Tom with the tall back rower jumping for the cross field kicks.

I thought our defence was good, however conceding three tries from open play kicks will be a concern,

Misi was outstanding , carrying the ball hard out of yardage all afternoon , I thought Veacock looked sharp and went hunting when we were defending., James gave us impact from the bench, we just seemed to lack creativity in the halves.

We have the capability to beat them at the Eco Power ,we just need to throw more at them in attack.

Disappointing to read this. It would be interesting to read the thoughts of any Dons supporters who were there.

I was sat in the main stand as a recent knee operation prevents me from standing for a long period of time.
The banter between the fans was lighthearted and non offensive as far as I could hear, however banter is one thing, abuse is another and totally unacceptable.
I didn't hear anyone being abusive in the stands and you could see the fans laughing and joking behind the posts with good friendly banter.
I did notice Jez being escorted from the ground , don't know if this had an anything to do with him.

He was escorted out after the RFL observing official pointed him out to the stewards to get him removed for what he was shouting at the referee. I Asked the steward what was said, it rhymed with James hunt and some other expletives thrown in for good measure

He needs to keep off the ale , his mouth is gonna get him in trouble one day, which is a shame as he is a nice guy.

I was stood behind the posts but can't remember anything abusive shouted at him (I shouted remember when you never used to play in the right position for us?, but I wouldn't say that's abusive and if it was it was criticising team selection rather than him), but there was a whole lot of overlapping shouts at time so wouldn't have heard it all. Most of the shouting at the Dewsbury players was aimed at thingy Graham who was giving it the biggun, and one that needed irony explaining after he was doing the whole scoreboard pointy thing.

Sad to hear about any poor comments, but the irony of any Dewbury player giving it large after last season when they couldn't win a bloody argument. Stupid is as stupid does.
