It's been a while since I've seen odds like that in favour of the Dons!

It makes me feel uneasy

Twitter has a scheduled update today, it is expected to be complete by the time the game starts so score updates should be in the usual place

However, if it is having problems I will put them here

It is somewhat unusual.

Scott Watson did well seeing he was ruled out for the season by the Free Press , I think it should have been Scott Wilson .

Good effort to keep the Gateshead score to nil. Some great tries well done Aaron Henry & Rob Lunt !

Re: Dons V Gateshead : Sun Aug 01, 2010 4:22 pm  

66-0 !! What a result. Well done to everybody involved.

Great thing about that score though was the NIL. Very satisfying

Still thought we could've scored more though

I felt a bit sorry for Gateshead. They are obviously struggling. They didn't really
show up today but they didn't give up and were still trying to score right up to the hooter.
I like Gateshead. I hope they can keep going this season and re-group under Pelly for next
season and come back competitive.

But we've been there, we know how that feels and today was our turn to run 60+ past
somebody and it felt GREAT !!

COME ON YOU DONS !!!!

Went on a whim today and it was a very good result, but in fairness I've seen better amateur sides than Gateshead. I hope they survive because they were one of the clubs who were cast aside by the great merger swindle but results like today against a very ordinary side like ours cant bode well.
Good luck to 'em anyway.

It's a shame that South Wales won at Oldham (easily) for us.
I wonder sometimes. What is that all about?
Which sort of scuppers our play-off chances.

However , we were treated to some great tries in the second half.
There were some good performances by Dons players, notably Henry, Dobek, Lunt and Kesik.
Wouldn't it be nice to keep these players for next season???

Re: Dons V Gateshead : Sun Aug 01, 2010 7:10 pm  

Good team performance, happy to see us keep Gateshead scoreless.
Lunt, Henry and Butterfield stands outs in a alround team performance.
With the South Wales result, we now seem a long shot for the play off, would be nice to finish of a steady season with a couple of wins tho.

Great haka 2, well done to the club for getting the kids involved
