Re: praise the lord.

Back in that period of time it was a perfectly reasonable response. Back in the 60's there was no "brand". We drank tea and watched football on muddy pitches. You are trying to compare two eras over 50 years apart. You conflated the two eras, not me. What "tea and muddy pitches"...

Re: praise the lord.

There are a lot of bad opinions on here. It will be intersting to read the comments when Barrow are on the recieving end of such bad practices. we've been on the end of this stuff for years and its about time we did it ourselves. and how did it make you feel knowing you had been cheated out of a ga...

Re: praise the lord.

Clearly has to be a non-footballing person or still living in the stone ages. Lets assume its the Champions League final, I’m sure you would see Messi or Ronaldo shepharding the ball in the corner flag to waste time if 1 up on 90 mins. Are you going to argue they get a bad rep and bring a bad name ...

Re: praise the lord.

I'd like us to win with dignity. Teaching the children that watch behind the goal to be a bad winner isn't positive. It's not part of the Barrow brand. So Colin Appleton 'smacking [Firth] one' would have been acting with dignity? Would that be part of the "brand"? A good example for child...

Re: praise the lord.

I was appauled to see Firths time wasting and play acting against Leyton Orient. That wouldn't have happened in the days of Colin Appleton. He would have smacked him one! Its called closing out the game to get the right result. So if he bounced up and hoof it down the field and the opposition score...

Re: praise the lord.

Very strange to assume I haven't been to any games. I sponsor a lot of things Barrow AFC related and attend corporate every home game. So don't be telling me what I have seen and haven't seen Paul. Thats just not right. If you do corporate you must have had a good view of Nathan getting cleaned out...

Re: praise the lord.

Again, this is irrelevant if the word around the internet is that Barrow bend the rules to win games. Once the word is out its hard to change. There's no "rule bending" going on - you'd see that if you'd been to any games. We have a hard working/battling team that can actually play a bit ...

Re: praise the lord.

If you have a look at any football forum including this one, Dave, they all have a large number of people who are "one-eyed" and see nothing wrong with anything done by their own team and everything wrong if it's done by the opposition. Again, this is irrelevant if the word around the int...

Re: praise the lord.

I just don't want our team getting tarred with the same critisisms as those Barrow lads who cause trouble at games. Thats not what this club should be about

Re: praise the lord.

Admittedly things are looking great on the pitch. We are getting a reputation for a nasty, cheating side however at the moment. Plus we are only 4 games in, still plenty of games left yet. Lets take it one step at a time. I've been to three of our first 4 games not seen any of this nasty or cheatin...

Re: praise the lord.

Social media can be the devils tool though! Word will get round that we hold the ball up to waste time /feign injury/ and get players sent off. So what? Well its not the kind of thing the owner wants is it? He wants a family friendly team that the community can get behind. Thats all I'm thinking

Re: praise the lord.

You seem angry about this. It's just clear to see that many fans of teams we have played are voicing their displeasure at the blatent tactics of [SwearFilter] Barrow AFC are using at the moment. Hardly angry, more amused that you're worrying what the social media trolls are saying about our club. I...
