"He's the best coach I've had... His mix of man-management and his game plan is second to none. Since Brian Mac has been in charge, we've been in every final so far. I love playing for him. I can't praise him enough, I've so much respect for him and I hope he's here for a very long time." Kevin Sinfield 29/9/12:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_68506.jpg



The OP is very unfair.

Fair weather supporters support their team wholeheartedly when they are doing well.

"The Golden Generation finally has its Golden Fleece! They have Wembley Cup Final winners medals to add to their collection." 23/08/2014:



Quote: RHINO-MARK "Not sure how early previous departures were decided prior to their oublic announcements tbh but its a fair point
Rumours and they are only rumours are that Mc.D will be moving on at the end of the season by his own choice.
Time will tell i just hope we can salvage some good performances & possibly a CC run.'"


I know if McDermott goes it most likely will be announced as a "mutual decision" and people will inevitably be dubious.....but you never know, he might genuinely think himself that he's gone as far as he can here.

Quote: xparksider "IMO. True supporters offer support for the team through good and bad times. The team have given us all 10years of great times, not just good, and now times are not good. This is when [itrue[/i supporters stand by the team.

If a builders' house starts to fall to pieces because he looses 3 or 4 parts of it. Say, the supporting beams or props (let's call them Peacock and Leuluai), and the main power supply and power distribution system, (let's call them Sinfield and Aiton).
He starts to rebuild the house and installs a new power supply (McGuire) and uses second hand props and distribution system all imported from Australia.

He's looking forward to success in his re- build but knows it will take a long time before he has anything like the dream house he had a short while ago.

Then he hits another big problem, the new power supply breaks down after a very short time and then he looses most of his tools to do the job plus the remaining tools don't work as well as they used to.

This house will take a lot longer to re-build than anybody thought, even when all his best tools are found again.'"


Can't you just be self-satisfied with you super fandom? Is it really necessary start a smug, self-congratulatory thread on an internet forum? It makes you look like a sad b*****d. Pat yourself on the back fella if it means that much to you, but don't go fishing around the internet looking for others to do it for you

"Brian McDermott, with a wry smile, nods when asked if he remembers a specific incident which made him realise he was a prick. 'I do', he murmurs.":22575.gif

Out of interest, does the name "xparksider" have any particular relevance that we should know about if/when we engage in a discussion of fan loyalty?

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg



Quote: ThePrinter "No it couldn't unless you were one of the people saying both those things and trying to backtrack your way out how contradictory they are.

The suggestion that Leeds weren't really any better in 2015 than in 2014, perhaps even went backwards is not only a prime example of this, but quite ridiculous.'"


I have said on here before i was very surprised how well leeds did in 2015 - but i would question whether the standard of play Leeds offered in 2015 was of better standard than in 2014. Most people would agree standards are falling season on season why is unrealistic to suggest that Leeds stagnated yet moved forward as their competitors regressed quicker?

I wondered how long it would take for someone to spot that. Give that man a coconut!!!!!!
