| Quote ThePrinter="ThePrinter"Are you serious? If there's anybody not allowed an opinion on here it's the likes of me and lioner81.
Starting with William and then others clinging onto him people are regularly dragging up old posts of mine or incorrectly claiming I said different to what I actually wrote in attempt to point score against me. And why? Because it has actually gotten to a point on this board where it's become a crime to back the club. My biggest fault seemingly is that I back the club.....for some on here that is unacceptable and punishable by constant attacks on what I write.
People go on about lack of other people posting on here....maybe it's because some actually enjoy following the club whether through good or bad times and don't want to constantly be called sheep, gullible etc. and told how stupid they are for backing the club they support,'"
I think that is a little over reaction - you do put your views out on every thread so you must except if you dominate a board in such a way you will get more than your fair share of critic on your views.
Backing the club is OK but to turn a blind eye to the obvious failings will leave you exposed to what is obvious to everyone else. The Cas performance was a disgrace even the CEO had to admit it - compare and contrast your postings on that to your posting on the 2015 win in the last play at Huddersfield. Both were polarised events your postings were all over one and noticeably absent in the other.
You cannot complain if other posters suggest your views are supportive of the club if the evidence is there for all to see. I can't complain when you, Loiner and others point out I criticise the club because its true

Regarding the rest of your post, [usee my sig[/u. I really don't know where you get this "no one's allowed an opinion" rubbish, not that it's got anything to do with this thread, hence the confusion over William's cringey post / dummy spit. I'm not sure what the rest of your post's about either or why you have this opinion that i'm some kind of weird Hetherington devotee but it sounds like you've been smoking some of those cuttings yourself.
Anyway, moving on from this ridiculous and childish discussion and back onto what I originally asked you, before the cut-price Alex Jones got involved........
He may well be gone in 4 weeks. If not then we'll see what happens.
Be interesting to read your comments should Leeds somehow turn a corner, play some scintillating stuff but get knocked out of all comps in the semis.
Mac out, no doubt.'"
I wont be holding my breath - and I suspect neither will you
The best game I ever saw in SL was the 2017 loss in the semi to St Helens at KR, how Webb didn't score is still a mystery to me  - winning isn't what gives me the most pleasure - unlike you where trophies are how you measure success/enjoyment.

Making stuff up Sal and presuming to know what people think? that's not like you, at all.
It wasn't a semi but yes it that was a great game and as a contest was one of the best, but let's not pretend you didn't enjoy the subsequent battering at OT all the more.

No problem that I'm considered supporting the club.....issue is that being such a sore point for others on here.
You can go on about "turning a blind eye" because I don't criticise and complain on here...,.but what would happen if I did? Would the result against Cas have different? Would we have a different coach? New players? Some Posters have very been critical of the club for the best part of a decade and where's it got them? Hasn't gotten them a new coach or a team they're happy with...,,,just meant they've been left with a bit of egg on their face on numerous occasions when we went on to win silverware just for that one time they could eventually say "see I was right all along"

What do think prompted GH to issue his e-mail apologising for what was a pathetic display last Thursday? It was sheer weight of complaints he received plus the noise on boards like this and comments in the press. Things will either improve or changes will be made - that's the democratic process. Do you think he would have issued his note if everyone had taken your approach?
You reap what you sew - if as customers we are prepared to accept substandard product what is the incentive for GH to take corrective action? If you are happy with the standard of players, the quality of coaching and the entertainment on the field great but I would say you are in the minority.
On the silverware front Leeds have reached one GF in the last 4 years - 2015 should be seen as blip in a gradual demise that has led to what happened at Cas, I would suggest recent history shows you have been more wrong than right. What happened in 2016 has far more relevance than what happened in 2015, 2012,2011 etc

The way the team played last week suggests the players have all become vegan.

Well it wasn't on the same level as leaving the forum and vowing never to return, telling other fans to "enjoy their dying game" just because you mistook actual living people for empty seats at a major final....
..but it was still a good one.

| let's get this amazing thread back on topic anyway......
[size=200Mac out!! yeah I'm sure GH is checking SouthStander regularly to see the mood of the supporters. If he caved into fan pressure then McDermott would've been gone halfway through 2011.....and then 2012, then at the end of 2013 & 2014.....then throughout 2016. He'd have also gotten rid of the old guard at the end of 2014 and thus we'd probably never have won the treble.
And people are jumping to conclusions regarding his statement. They've taken it as McDermott needs to win X amount of the 4 games or he's sacked.......that might happen but it might not be the case at all.
Like I said people have been complaining A LOT about McDermott and the squad since he took over in 2011, yet he's still coach and the squad people are even less impressed so all that 7 years worth of complaining and criticising has achieved naff all really.
