• A one off posting for the insider. Message a little bit too long to post directly. Have a read insider and post your reply, I will genuinely be interested in your thoughts. -- Graham, 00:53:38 02/17/05 Thu
• I`m sure Mr Tony Brown would call you petty.As for bt go ahead i back everything i`ve said on here..................your call grahame *s* (NT) -- INSIDER, 21:47:50 02/19/05 Sat
  • So what has Brown got to do with EVRFC and this board exactly? Mmmmmmmm? Come on, this one I've got to hear. As for your go ahead, admin is away until Monday, but as you insist, I'm sure he'll sort that out for you. I'm sure bt don't care what you "stand by", it's been personal insults and abuse, there is no getting away from that. (NT) -- Graham, 22:47:01 02/19/05 Sat

• I don't know about that, but this Sale connection seems a bit one-sided to me. They borrow or buy our players. What exactly does Ebbw get out of this association? (NT) -- SaD, 16:00:08 02/17/05 Thu
  • A reduction in our wage bill now we look safe??? (NT) -- Glyn, 16:58:10 02/17/05 Thu
• Re: Ben Coutts -- ITK, 22:34:14 02/17/05 Thu
  • Tidy stuff fella. It'll be interesting to see if he can cut the mustard with Sale, Perhaps we can gauge the situation better when we see if he is still training with us next week on Cae Canol. If he's off to Sale for definate, he should be training with Sale and not us. (NT) -- Graham, 22:58:20 02/17/05 Thu
• Re: Ben Coutts -- Milo Senior, 23:35:32 02/17/05 Thu
  • Nice one and thanks for that Senior. Ah well, it's bye bye to Ben. We owe him a great deal of thanks for the effort he put in. From the time he arrived (Bridgend away), he put ina massive effort and made a real impact on opposing players. Granted, he made a few errors of judgemen on the field, but who hasn't? We must be greatful that we had his services. This man HAS made a difference. (NT) -- Graham, 23:47:15 02/17/05 Thu
• Well. it's sad to see him leave, but then again that's what this league is all about! Ben has been a quality young player for a while now, making his way into the full Brumbies squad a couple of seasons ago, and playing in a tough semi pro aussie league too. I hope that playing in this premiership has given him some sort of rugby education and I wish him all the luck in the world up at Sale, I'm sure he'll be a big hit! Future international?? Who knows!

        • Hi Rob, shame we didn't start until about 8:20. We would have had a better chance if we'd started at the same time as Bridgend. (NT) -- Graham, 22:29:12 02/17/05 Thu

• Personally I think we've had a brilliant seaon, way above anything we could have imagined. Good signings ( Cleaver, G.Jones, Coutts, Williams etc.)I don't worry when we have a bit of a bad run as I know our semi-pro team does its best more times than not. If you want perfection and blood when you don't get it you should watch a regional team who get paid extremely well to deliver the goods. C'mon Ebbw! (NT) -- :-), 16:36:04 02/17/05 Thu
• Oh yes, and just to say I'm not just having a dig at Graham before this gets removed from the board. (NT) -- :-), 16:42:38 02/17/05 Thu
  • Nice one. I like a sense of humour fella. Your first post explained it nicely enough mate. :-) (NT) -- Graham, 17:29:38 02/17/05 Thu

• Hi Pooler. Thankfully, this board is watched by our admin who is very good. The days of trolls and wums are very much numbered on here, as we seem to be very close to moving over to a secure board with better security very soon. (NT) -- Graham, 17:28:14 02/16/05 Wed
• the petty little git called Grahame is censoring this board.Anyone who doesnt agree with him gets banned.........the silly little child (NT) -- INSIDER, 23:13:53 02/16/05 Wed
  • I wish I did have the power to ban and censor, fortunately that power/responsibility belongs to the invisible guy we know as "Admin" (doing a cracking job Tony, keep it up mate). Do you now see why he removes your posts? Re-read your post and it will become obvious to you. Seriously though, have a look at the reply above to you and it will explain a few things.

• If the captain doesn't look like he wants to tackle or do anything else then how can he command his troops? Something must have been said at half time but why does it take that long? A bit more conviction in the 2nd half but how much of that was down to Bridge thinking it was already in the bag? And how many times did we get in their 22 only to turn the ball over to over thrown line outs or dropped passes? But I thought with 15 to go we could have still won.....weird! (NT) -- Glyn, 21:22:52 02/16/05 Wed
  • We certainly turned over a lot of good attacking ball (NT) -- -, 23:03:07 02/16/05 Wed
• The game was lost half time by some awful disinterested tackling. Again one on ones we didnt look like we could be bothered and on a wider scale lacked any form of defensive organisation. A few plus points, Williams' goal kicking was superb, the forward competed a bit better. We won some of our lineouts. Referee very lax with the offside law but we lost that game ourselves purely through very poor defence. By the time we decided to wake up we were chasing a big lead (NT) -- -, 22:58:45 02/16/05 Wed
  • Yep, the ref was not great, but he was consistant with both teams getting away with quite a bit. By no stretch of the imagination did he cost us this one. (NT) -- Graham, 00:56:19 02/17/05 Thu

• Just filled a form in, but the questionaire is geared to followers of regional (there's a laugh right there) teams, so most of it was unanswered. Still, I filled in what was important to me as a rugby supporter. (NT) -- Graham, 22:00:54 02/15/05 Tue
  • I noticed that so didn't bother to fill it in. Seemed at one point that the researchers were only interested in how followers of the Warriors were feeling left out!!! (NT) -- EIA, 23:30:06 02/15/05 Tue
• I thought the same thing but filled it in anyway, having first been asked whether you support a "regional team" or not it then goes on to ask you questions about your regional team. Looks like the survey has been designed to conclude people support these things- a loaded question (NT) -- -, 23:35:37 02/15/05 Tue

• hopefully you guys can soften bridgend up for us as wel play them in the cup on saturday. good luck with it guys and great win for u over llanharen, thats never a easy place to play (NT) -- pooler supporter (barney), 18:04:04 02/13/05 Sun
  • Hi Barney. Ah yes, the cup . Yes, it's all coming back to me now. Where's me prozac? Bridgend are the form team at the moment, but the cup is a "one off" and no matter what their league form, I fancy they'll come a cropper at Pooler park. If we haven't arranged a game, I may pop over for a look (depending on health and wife of course). (NT) -- Graham, 18:11:16 02/13/05 Sun

• Forgot to add to my post that the Llanharan fans I spoke to before, during and after the game were a really good bunch. Their fans shouted their team on while they were struggling and looked like losing. Such an improvement on the mentality of those clubs whose fans only shout when they are running in tries or have already won. There was a lot of Llanharan shouts going around. Well done to them.
