| I'll always appreciate what success we've had since Darryl Powell over-hauled the mess Dean Lance left us and what a "special" crop of players we've witnessed in the Blue 'n' Amber during that period.
However IF at any time i think player A ,B or Coach hasn't performed at any given time i'll say as such and also continue to post whatever opinions i have on the squad retention ,recruitment ,selection etc etc.

Couple of tongue in cheek comments.
If that constitutes a witch hunt then it really is PC gone mad.....
But, without being unduly modest, I am so wonderful that for many people they can only aspire to comparisons with my effluence.

86.jpg Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.
We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg |

| Quote: rhinoms "I'll always appreciate what success we've had since Darryl Powell over-hauled the mess Dean Lance left '" If people are claiming that the team we have now are in decline, they should consider the team of 2000. Lance inherited a bunch of has-beens who the previous coach sorted into an unbelievable team capable of epic moments - but which was never going to be a long-term proposition, especially when the one player at the heart of everything already had begun to want out.
Although not great, Lance was in a more difficult position than he ever gets credit for.

I don't think they would constitute a witch-hunt in 2012 but there used to be a weekly Opta thread and you would often be found commenting on Kirke's underwhelming (in your opinion) contributions and it wasn't always a pre-requisite that he had to have played in the featured game. Here viewtopic.php?f=17&t=488219&tsmp=1344273926 and here viewtopic.php?f=17&t=507147 for example are what appear to be thinly veiled negative references to said player in games he wasn't a part of.
Although I'm sure you'll say you cannot control how your comments are interpreted by others and it says more about them than it does about your goodself.

icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg 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: G1 "Something you've been saying since 2006 yet the titles keep rolling in.
You, in particular, could do with spending three or our years watching someone like Castleford then you would be appreciate, and deserving, of what we have here at the moment.'"
Deserving - your arrogance knows no bounds.
This team has been in decline since 2004 - the fact it keeps winning titles is as much a reflection in the competition as it is on the team, something I did mention on the previous post.
You are the only person who is suggesting the quality on the field should be ignored because the standards at Leeds aren't dropping as fast as the rest of the league!!
2011 in the main was garbage and 2012 isn't any better the fact that some are prepared to comment doesn't make them any less deserving
On player witch hunts - your constant digs at McGuire, one this week, your intransigence on Buderus, your constant tirade about Kirke says much about your very blinkered views on all matters Leeds and how you have favourites who you seem incapable of seeing fault in.

| Completely agree with G in everything he's said. Started watching Leeds in 84. I'll never forget the day we we're getting beat til one of Paul Medleys supersub appearances, the old bloke who'd sat behind us for 4 yrs tapped me dad on the shoulder and said "Your young un will be 50 by the time this lot win owt". I'm 34 now and seen us win the lot with interest! Should appreciate this team now. Spent an hell of a lot before on players with no commitment, to be more inconsistent and win nowt .

| I tend to think of Gareth as the Capt Manwaring of these boards.
Full of self importance, and a tad grumpy when the rest of us don't agree with his flights of fancy. It doesn't make him a bad person.....just a little bit odd.

Like I say, you deserve to be a supporter of a club like Swinton.

I've read some pretty stupid stuff on this forum over the years, but this is certainly up there with the best.
