We've been here before. Listen mate, i don't know you from Adam - you may have a cheery disposition outside of this message board but a quick stroll through your previous posts suggest that you're one hell of a "glass is half empty" kinda troll. You're what's known as a "washer woman" and you wear the tag well. Maybe the demise of the Launderama is our gain on here - if indeed you can call it a gain.

You talk about the rollercoaster - but you only come on here when we're at the bottom of the track. I guess you're too busy holding your breath when we're at the brow of the top dip.

Doom merchant.

Whatever!!

Yet again a board "regular" tries to make someone feel inferior due to a difference of opinion or indeed the demeanor of a post. I would sincerely love to meet up with a few people on here (face to face) to talk rugby but like most posters they hide behind a computer.

If negativity is posting what players have openly talked about in a public bar then I'm guilty.

Doesn't make me any less of a supporter then you or anybody on here. So why do you and others on try to shoot others down? - Its a form of bullying in my opinion and some of the mods even get involved.

Disgraceful. - At the end of the day its a topic, a conversation and open to discussion and interpretation.

The same guy told me we are signing Sonny Bill Williams

IMO it is a toss up between Fisher, Penky, Black and Shad for our best player since SL but Branighan is certainly a class act at this level who I reckon is better than a few other SL half-backs.

I hope we do hold onto him though, remember how much we missed Holroyd last year after he went?

I do hope we can sign him up for next season and beyond. The partnership between Luke and Ben has been great this year.

As an ex member of HM forces telling me to "Man Up" now that I do find offensive. I suggest many on here should do the same and get from behind their computer screens.

My interpretation of the bullying on here is based around how "regular" posters (and I include you in that) basically utilise their presence on here to ridicule and ostricise any other posters on here whose opinions differ. You may not like what I put but I don't post pure make believe, I don't hide behind a username and I certainly say it as I see it. You see it has negative, I see it has another viewpoint and as a fan I am entitled to that. I do not ask for insults or personal attacks.

For the record I'm passionate about the club (like you wouldn't believe) as rightly you point out "you don't know me". I don't wear rose tinted glasses and I certainly won't ever stop loving my club. I will and have got a sick feeling that all that we have enjoyed in the last 3 seasons (highs and lows) and have come to expect will be taken away from us by some silly administrational errors and the RFL moving goal posts and I have been told numerous things that I certainly won't post on here. I will enjoy whats left of this season and then keep my fingers crossed that things don't happen in the off season that I have been told will. Another disaster will undo all the hard work of the last 5 years to improve the clubs profile.

Branigan is class and he gets stuck in too, not afraid of getting smashed.

Been away all weekend so i couldnt attend the game but for me Luke could step right into SL and not look out of his depth. Class act and i just hope we can keep him for next year!

certainly has kept us going forward more this year to score more points than let in. would love em both to be here next year also.

CHECK YOUR PM'S.

Yellow.

All i ever seem to do with TS is apologise for several indescretions. I feel like Terry Newton.

Chris Smith - i apologise unreservedly for my posts. I accept there's no need for it and I will refrain from purposely poking the stick into the bees nest. As you have alluded to - everyone is entitled to their opinions and styles of posting and it isn't for me to pick them apart with meaningless technicalities. We are both Halifax fans and ultimately want the same end.

Sorry.

I don't know about a yellow card Rich, that's more like a white hankerchief !

Makes me laugh this board, if you dare to criticise and question just ever so slightly anything to do with fax your not a "true" fan and get hoarded to death in a heard or sheep like mentality. I know Chris Smith and see him every game home and away wearing his Fax shirt, trust me he is a better or more worthy or true fan then a lot on here, so what he questions certain things at the club, its a fans right and the reason for doing so is simple, he like all of us wants to see the club do well or better and just cos we finished 2nd doesn't mean we are the finished article or we can rest on our laurels (spelling), the club has made some massive mistakes this year that have grabbed headlines and cost the club tens of thousands of pounds in lost income which I'd hazard a guess will have ripple affects into next season, I'd say fans have every right to question things as long as they go about it in an orderly fashion which Mr Smith does, I see him before and after in the south stand sweat box lounge, he mingles with the players etc, he's not your usual full of fan yet the old fax board heard mentality kicks in at his every post, as a person if your not asked questions of how will you improve, you won't, same goes for the club.

Its been a brilliant season that I enjoyed more then last season, I think we have done well, do I think we could have done better on and off the field, yes, of course, is that so wrong, no, but I guess it makes me a lesser fan then some on here for thinking that.
