Off Topic Matalan

Only if you're an idiot, that part of France was once part of the Principality of Catalonia before it became the Pyrenees-Orientales. They still speak Catalan and is referred to by most as northern Catalonia.

 

We're you entertained when we beat Charlton 6-0? That was utterly one sided but I'm sure many people enjoyed it.

 

Erm, the difference is we won the one sided game.

 

The 7/10 in the paper is not a rating on how much the home fans enjoyed the game, it's a rating on how entertaining the game was.

He made the point it wasn't an entertaining game because it's one sided, you've just proved my point that one sided games can be entertaining.

 

I don't think you have to be an idiot not to know that mate

 

I totally agree, god do I hate that bloke (and all the other money grabbing ambulance chasers)

 

Haha they should, maybe there are no Matalans in Cataland and that puts them off, shouldn't really as there are plenty of Matalans in the M62 Eggchaser corridor

 

Don't like it, don't read it mate! This is what puts people putting off from commenting on here.

 

I think you're dreaming.

 

Spot on Carmine. I would like to give 100 likes for your post but it doesn't let me.

 

I'm pretty sure the HKR reporter is looking to represent the views of HKR fans. When Phil Buckingham writes about a terrible result on Tuesday do you think he was writing as a neutral and Derby fans were up in arms cos it was a great result?

 

[QUOTE="tubbylard, post: 9113793, member: 1022928". A record score for a Cup Final which beat Wigan 38 Hull RLFC, as they were called in those days, 5 . Which beat Wakefield 30 something, Hull RLFC a lot less. Over to you 5hitty arse....[/QUOTE]

I was at both these Wembley games so remember the scores. Wigan 30 Hull 13 in 1959 and Wakefield 38 Hull 5 in 1960. So a correction there.

In 1999 Leeds beat London Broncos 52-16 so this remains the record number of points scored by the winning team in a CC final and a points winning margin of 36 which makes your assertion about Hull's record earlier in post No 11 factually incorrect.

Can't see our teams ever being able to compete with the likes of Cas and Wakey.

 

Don't chat ****.

 

No he's giving his opinion on how entertaining the game was. My point was that a game can be entertaining even if its one sided, which you've already agreed with.

 

I suppose it depends how well travelled you are, most people know either side of the Pyrenees is considered Catalan territory. You soon find out when you go there thinking a basic grasp of Spanish will get you through and they start speaking what sounds like a completely different language.

 

Is it true that RL took off there after Eddie Waring and Stuart Hall were there for 'Jeux sans frontieres'?

 

Unfortunately not, it took of in the early 1930's before it was banned by the government.
