Firstly, i would like to say that Leeds were very unlucky on saturday and the game could of gone either way. We got lucky a couple of times but thought we very marginally shaved the game tbh. you should all be proud of the massive effort your lads put in.
This however is not the reason for my post. I have read all the accounts of fans having problems with other fans and i wanted to address the issue. I was sat in the wigan end block 130. Behind me was a family of 4 or 5 leeds fans. Amongst them there was a bloke and his wife and their 18 yr old son. What an absolute credit to the leeds club they were. we chatted during the game, and shared the ups and downs of an enthralling match. They stayed until the cup presentation and shook our hands as they left.
This is the memory i will have of the cup final. Well done to them whoever you are, and well done leeds!

A poor kick? have you mistyped there, interested to know.
It was a poor decision in hindsight, as I think he would have beaten the cover to the corner. But the kick was spot on, it was a combination of superb recovery from Tomkins and the bounce of the ball not going to the left that stopped a certain try.

... and an unfit McGuire who otherwise could have got their a clear first.
Quote: Wilbred T Pricklepop "I am very proud of the team today, we put in a great effort and although we didn't get the result we should all be pleased with the performance.
We gave wigan one heck of a game in the 2nd half. To fightback from such a deficit on this occasion, against the best team in super league shows the immense determination and character of this team. For that, we should all be thankful.
I hope none of our players or officials mention a word about any 50/50's. Wigan scored more points, and for that, deserved to win.
One thing I'm proud of is when we win, players like sinfield show a tremendous amount of dignity and class. The same in defeat.
I think a certain individual could learn from that today.'"
Ryan hall mentioned winning with dignity in one of his post match interviews, I've nt doubt he logged on after the CC and read my inspirational words.
Quote: Omar Little "On this subject - hat's off to Tony Smith who (as ever) was gracious in defeat on Friday.
I particularly liked his first comment to the BBC [i"You know they're tenacious and they deserved to win on the night"[/i
That one word sums up this team pretty well if you ask me.'"
LEEDS
Goes down as Leeds post war legendary coaches /managers /etc Ken Dalby/Dai Prosser/Joe Warham/Roy Francis//turner and the geat Syd hynes carried on the legacy of Roy Francis/then came the Tony Smith era we are still seeing that now.I still think of his comments after the 2010 cc final he reffered to us as our opponents,not Leeds.He's LEEDS ,he's leeds and he knows he is he's leeds
