I fear that what was happening by the end of the Harrison era (player power and lack of respect) has done an inordinate amount of damage to us as a club and, as you rightly say, may turn out to be similar to the famed semi defeat. FWIW I don't expect us to be World-beaters, I don't actually expect us to finish much higher than bottom this year but I'll be damned if I sit here dredging up crass excuses for poor play and, what looks to me like poor team spirit and lack of enthusiasm.
As I have said, somewhere else, I will still be there on Friday hoping that we can get into first gear. It is still, and always will be, the club I love and support but what is happening is not acceptable to me personally. I accept that we all see it differently but my opinion is as valid as anyone elses who pays to watch.

But thats just salford innit, i wouldnt be amazed if we blow Quins out of the water in the 1st 15 minutes race into 20-0 and spend the rest of the game "hanging on" like we did against Celtic instead of pounding them into the ground like the top clubs do.

when given a inch they take a mile, we get the tape measure out.

Yes there was a smoke bomb/flare whatever you want to call it thrown straight after richie owen scored his second try under the sticks.
This being the reason the goal kick was delayed, i was in the WRE and saw it land on the pitch.

I can assure you it did happen.

I think it's the fact that people seemingly don't know what a flare is that's the main issue in the 'argument'.

Items such as the one thrown on the pitch are commonly refered to as 'smoke flares' or 'smoke bombs', so i can see why the pedantry is needed to be honest, we all know the majority of salford fans would not have anything to do with such an act, its just a few mindless idiots, probably the same ones that have thrown coins at us in the past.

I would like clarify for anyone who is not getting the message. We know an 'item' was thrown on the pitch, however it was NOT a flare.

That's been my point all along!

Yeah I know

The item in question is of a type common referd to as a smoke flare.

I'm glad someone did
