| Quote On the terraces="On the terraces"Well what do we say about that one, not the referees fault, not the conditions fault as it was the same for both teams apart from one had a long journey to get to their game and it definately wasn't the fans fault. All I can say about that performance is what a load of RUBBISH, what has happened to us. Look at the last 2 seasons we have just had, ok not every game was pretty and we still had the odd thing to moan about but for me the last 2 seasons as seen us make huge strides forwards on the pitch and I have a feeling we are going to be well out of the playoffs and could possibly end up in dog fight at the bottom of the table.
Yes we have 4-6 first team players out injured but at the minute with what I am seeing I don't think they would make a bit of difference, our defence is not up to what it was and where is this expansive play that Marchy has talked about so much and how we were going to see a different style of rugby been played this year because I don't know if its just me but the rugby I'm watching including the freindlies is the kind of rugby we were watching 4 -5 seasons ago. The feeling myself and a few fans had today when I got into the ground was very negative and yes this is only my opinion and maybe a big statement to make but for me the whole heart and everything Keighley Cougars has stood for over the years is now but all gone, the place is becoming an amateur club. I spend a lot of time which a lot of people may find sad scrolling through clubs websites to see whats going on in the world of rugby league and I am repeating myself but we are a million years behind most of our championship rivals. I don't have all the answers and I'm no mastermind but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work it out that the club is doing nearly everything wrong and I will be suprised if there is a fan base left at the end of the season.
Todays attendance of over 700 well I'm sorry but I didn't think there was anymore than 500.
Todays game shows that if we can't compete with the likes of Whitehaven on our home soil then we are in for a very bad season, if we were ar Whitehaven then I probably would have taken that result and been happy but we were very lucky to come away with that result. Ritchie Barnet well I have never been a fan even when JD brought him to the club but he should not wear a cougar shirt again for a very long time, he has no confidence at all, our plays were so predictable with the same kicks in the same direction and why wasn't Whitehaven dropping the ball as much as us.
Very very angry and worried after only 2 games of the season, I don't think I'll be waisting my money next week at Halifax to watch us lose by 30-40pts.
Gonna have a strong drink

Well you must have been standing with only one fan then, that be"Burleycougar"same comments as such too, I dont even see many negative comments on yesterdays game only between you two, (wonders how much licking is going on  )
I didnt hear or feel much negative comments down at the club.
Only what you thought between yourselves!
As for Marchy, dont judge book by its cover, you have to give it time. unless you think you can do BETTER!!

| Couldn't make the match yesterday but sounds like a poor game, we went to Batley and our defence was a disgrace - it sounds like we were the same against Whitehaven. I don't think you can blame Paul March and also the link with Castleford think he will only be trying his best although would this be his decision or would the directors decide this??
Yes the result wasn't what was expected but we all must stick together and get behind the team for next week as that will be tough
I also don't always agree with Robs post but he as a point I think and people I've spoke to that were at the match were saying the feeling was a bit grim

| SHOCK HORROR !
Burleycougar and ontheterraces have the same opinion on the coach !!!!
Yes I slated Marchy ,and ?
It's called an opinion , posted on a forum ,a place for people to air thier views and
opinions.... which is what I did,not rocket science is it ?
My opinion being that Marchy is not ready to coach at this level. I hope he proves
me wrong,if he does I will be the first to apologise to him face to face. I wasn't nasty about him
and even praised his work at other clubs in ch1 in another thread.
So , mr mystery please respect other peoples OPINIONS and leave the petty childish
'booty kissing' remarks to yourself please

| Hi all, first post on here but been a cougars fan for around 20years.
I think there were a lot of positives to come from yesterday’s game of which in my opinion could have gone either way. Given the conditions it was always going to be a tight scrappy affair for both sides with very little possibility of flowing rugby.
Keighley did not take real advantage of playing down hill first half, but did pressure the opposition on quite a few occasions only to lack the cutting edge of a little grubber kick through. The only real break I recall Whitehaven having for the full game was that where they scored there second try. Compared to the performance at Batley this must be encouraging that breaks of our defensive line were few and far between.
I do agree Richie Barnett had a dismal first half but luckily for us, most of his handling errors were down in there half so didn’t come to much despite the loss of possession. Very poor ability for a winger at championship level. He just seems to lack any motivation & appears to just make the numbers up.
Second half I felt we worked well to get back into the game & if not for a little more patience rather than kicking the ball away, then we could have snuck a win. At first glance & I haven’t seen a replay yet but I felt that Whitehaven’s 3rd try was kicked out by a cougars player before there was any form of grounding but someone may know different.
Duffy had a good break on the left of which was well intercepted by a Whitehaven player, and I thought we were going to sneak a try down the left in the dying minutes if not for a little greediness but all in all I felt there were many positives to take from the performance.
Only things I felt we lacked were a playmaker/positional kicker & a winger to replace Barnett but encouraged compared to the Batley game. Once the dryer periods come then we may see some of the flowing rugby that March has mentioned.

| Quote On the terracesQuote On the terraces="On the terraces"icon_lol.gif Here we go again with these comments of hidden agenda, true fan, loyal fan oh and an axe to grind. These are all the comments that seem to crop up when ever i post something. I love, care and support the club just as much as the next person and like everyone else on here enjoy coming on here to state my opinion or just to have a bit of banter, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that what this site is for. Sometimes I do make mountains out of mole hills but doesn't everybody at some point and yes I also get wound up with some stuff but just because I worked for the club and left doesn't mean that I am plotting anything or have a secret agenda. It is no secret that the directors wouldn't be my first choice of people to sit and have a drink with but I totally respect their decisions that they make with their club and the path they choose to go down with the club. Now this doesn't mean that I agree with everything they do in fact I don't agree with most things but they are the guys putting in their hard earned cash. One thing I will say is a lot of people comment on what they see from the club/directors but I have actually worked closely with these guys and know what type of people they are and seen the way they work and handle things. I will always support and back the club but at the same time I will always have an opinion because that is who I am, if I have something to say I have to say it if it's right or wrong.
What I saw yesterday is what I put in my post and I will stand by that and hopefully in another 5-6 weeks I can openly say sorry that I got it all wrong and Paul March is the best thing since sliced bread but unfortunately I think the Championship could be a step too far for him, I also think that in JD, Korky and Obst we are missing 3 big players and it is showing on the field. This maybe isn't just through them playing but the presence they had on the pitch and how some of the other lads played around them. In my opinion JD was the best coach our club has had since the likes of Phil Larder but at the same time no matter what I think I really hope Marchy can prove me wrong and turn things around.
Hopefully this might make the small handful of people that think I am up to something stop with the petty comments and let me have an opinion just like everyone else, I am not on here to win brownie points or cause trouble.'" '"
God there is so much personal bitching going on on this forum, everyone is entitled to there opinion, but when people directly attack another individual who has just started in a new position (Marchy) it absolutely stinks!
He lost 6 First team players before he had even started in the job!
Then with the injury list at present with Mossy, Killer and Rawlins and a couple more, ad those to the 6 players at the end of last season an you have nearly all first team regulars out!
I know we have had the odd new signing but no one with a vast amount of experience, but i do know given the situation with the club and how much effort they have done to boost season tickets, you can't say they aren't trying to get people through the turnstyle.
Its only the second game of the season with a limited first team squad to pick from, its early days and if not anything Marchy deserves a chance to prove himself with a full fit squad and when we have i think then the results will speak for themselves.

You're spot on about 'havens 3rd try , not far from where I was stood
and it was NOT grounded properly.
