Tonight was a different kettle of fish mate. A semi final against the rags defies the usual rules.
I think if you look at our squad, we have enough winners who have been through the process already and some of those who haven't, are experienced enough to know how to win.
I think there was a lot more than football going on on the pitch tonight and it was some of the extra stuff and not the football that defeated us.
I don't suggest that we become successful by punching our opponents, nor crippling them...and if we ever need to bottle opposing players at eastlands to gain victories...I'll give up.

Ronk, I agree that they are the actions of a team in decline. In fact I think that the way they behaved proved that fact. They couldn't trust their ability to win the day...They will know that.

We have had 34 years of practice!! We've served our time with regards to losing, it's time we started winning.
It comes from experience and it comes from being in that situation many times before. I've said on here previously, that we will lose a few semis and even finals before we finally work out what it takes, and how to win one.
