Huckleberry – you are also wrong, our hockey didn’t “cost us Roses last year” because if it was down to hockey then we would have won hands down, especially since we won every single game on the women’s side and most of the mens. There are other sports involved in Roses you know, or maybe you don’t know.

That is all.

Wasn’t it your hockey club that cost you Roses last year. Shame, real shame.

And then you could of come to York this year with a little bit of competition, but yep you lost before we had even got half way through.

O well, to the competition next year Lancaster..

Finny, is that you?

Come home and I will give you some oats!

Thank you for the intelligent observation that “Finny” isn’t a real name, but my mum told me not to give my real name out to strangers. Let’s bring this back to the point I initially made, which was th umpires were a disgrace and the reports from Nouse are biased, putting a negative aspect on what was a great weekend. Fair enough LUHC went to town on the saturday night, but we wanted to see the bright lights of York. Next year we will accept your challenge to a boat race, with pleasure, we’ve ran out of Lancaster sports teams to challenge anyway.

I wish York would stop trying to hide the fact that the umpires were not biased. They clearly were, and that is what rattled our cages. If it would have been a fair game we would have been more sporting and not have felt that York cheated, and from what I’ve heard it’s not just in the hockey that had biased refs.

To the pompus idiot who wrote about tax and such, pipe down! What have you got to do with this discussion at all? Nothing, and if you’re as ignorant as you seem then you realise that us students pay an astounding amount compared to the older generation who got grant after grant to attend university, as our parents did. I believe we deserve to have sporting weekends like Roses, which was fantastic despite the horrendous umpiring, York’s bad attitude towards some banter and coverage that was a disgrace!

Key board bashing? I tap away gently at my key board thank you very much, I have lost my voice since the weekend, although I’m sure all of your’s are still intact because I didn’t hear a peep from the York sideline, bring some competition to Lancaster next year please.

Yours Truly
Finny

I feel it unnecessary to state the academic differences between our universities and the mistakes in grammar and spellings as we dont care about any of that, the issue here was the hockey which yes we won, but it was a well fought battle.

I hope you can agree with some of the reasons why we got so frustrated during the games, and i admit that some bad tackles (in the mens 3′s) were worthy of yellow cards, but a red. . . .in a 3′s games at roses i feel was somewhat unnecessary!

I boat race may be a good ice-breaker next year but you do realise that we are undefeated so you best get practicing!

p.s. we could’ve quite easily got tickets for sat we just choose not to, like the majority of our university!

Both teams had bad chat, but that’s part of Roses. I personally thoroughly enjoyed the stuff I was getting from Lancaster; it made me laugh and spurred me on.

I think your criticisms of the umpires are harsh. The cards given may look biased, but I feel that reflects the fact that Lancaster tackled worse (men’s 3s, for evidence) and gave the Umpires less respect, more than it reflects any bias. That said, each entitled to their own opinion and every Umpire is human.

Well done to Lancaster for winning roses hockey. Hard luck in the mens’ 2s though guys (sorry couldn’t resist).

Also, someone spelt genes “jeans”… TERRIBLE.

And “Best wishes and all the luck in the world at getting a decent degree from that mickey mouse university that is York” is extremely funny. We’ve had #2 teaching and #7 research and we’re consistently ranked higher than Lancaster. Lancs is higher in Physics and Maths, York is higher in Chemistry and Biology. York takes Psychology, computer science, English and history Lancaster takes economics and law… Though we both do badly at English and law. Anywho, we’re both solid universities and York is on average better. 85% satisfied at York, 89% at Lancaster. Also Finny is a failure of a name.

There were several times when we had decisions given against us and i myself have given banter to umpires. However they cannot see everything and they did a cracking job all weekend and despite the bribe UYHC gave them i thought they stayed fair and if another umpire had been present then many of the decisions would be given the same way.

We may have nothing, however what we are proud not to have is a slightly overweight thirds player with facial fungus and the sidelines with a ega phone and very bad chat. He summed up your club this weekend… dissapointing.

Nice try matey

We love 21!!!!

Couple of things:

To start, I find it disappointing to see the products of British university education being so pointlessly splashed across the website of a well-meaning publication. Afterall, good luck naming a totally non-biased media publication.

As for the University of York being a ‘Mickey Mouse’ university, I am bemused to find this forum dominated by Lancaster University students. I know the North-West is grim, bleak and frankly dull, but I do believe they have libraries and – if you must insist on calling your institution a university – you must have something more productive to pretend to be doing rather than posting on another university’s website.
(Please see the Guardian league tables, which illustrate the result of a more insightful ‘Roses’)

Lastly, since we are all supposed to be the intellectual elite of our nation, could we PLEASE remember our primary education. ‘You’re’ means ‘you are’ while ‘your’ is possessive. Please also remember and make use of the distinctions between ‘their’, ‘there’ and ‘they’re’.

Now back to work you university and polytechnic students! You know who you are.

Signed,

The taxpayers who fund your jollies.

P.S. I refuse to accept Finny as a name. Try again.

Wouldn’t it have been cheaper for your parents to pay to put you back in a toddler group?

And that’s not a very nice thing to say about your own dad. Hope he stops your pocket money for that.

Private joke ……..PIPE DOWN!!!
