| Quote: Andy Gilder "It's an opinion expressed on a forum. If you don't agree with it, counter it.
Going back months after the event and dredging up old threads solely in order to thumb your nose at those who held that opinion at that time is the equivalent of rubbing a puppy's nose in a puddle of wee six months after it did it.
It serves no purpose, other than to give those doing it a warm glow of self satisfaction at how clever they are.
Someone had an opinion. It differed from someone elses. One of them turned out further down the road to be right. Let it go and move on FFS rather than dancing around like a street accordionists monkey in keyboard warrior mode.'"
Indeed. You wonder if the people who indulge in this sort of childish nonsense, realise, that in the end it is they who are left looking anally retentive.

| Go on Gilder lad!
FWIW I would usually agree that all the point scoring on this paticular forum is a childish pain in the backside, however in this case I feel it is almost warranted, as anyone calling for the Grand final winning coach's head midway through the season, or saying that we should get rid of members of our most successful side ever because of a couple of dodgy performances, need reminding that they could sometimes keep a little bit of faith in our best ever side.

Opinions and predictions are all well and good but when these opinions turn out ot be bat[ish[/iit looney tunes then rather than crying about it to eachother they should face their fekwittedness.
Quote: Andy Gilder "Much easier to park your backside on the fence and mock others when they turn out to be wrong than get shot at yourself.'"
I got off the fence, made predictions without knee jerking and was proved to be right again. I reserve the right to mock knee jerkers who dont deserve a team like Leeds.
Quote: Andy Gilder "
Get a life.'"
Got one thanks. It involves supporting my club with a level head rather than knee jerking over a dip in form.

Sorry but I disagree.
Is it uncomfortable for some? Probably. But this is a public forum and if you post an opinion you can expect to have it challenged. The validity of posts suggesting the chief exec has no idea, the coach is clueless and the players are not good enough is best examined at seasons end when we can see what the team has done.
Do you want a forum where posters can slate our players, coach and management and not be held accountable? It won't happen on my watch.
Well said.
The players and the management responded to the ill informed clap trap by doing what they do best.
It's very uncomfortable for those who said these things but I'm sure they'll be fine with Colonel Gilder leading the charge.
That's if they come out of the bushes where they've been hiding since Saturday.

| If people re-read the thread they'll find posts from more than a list of usual suspects and find some criticism of the coach who went on to make history at the season end.
Are they embarrassed by what they said mid season and should they be anyway?

Here you go then.

If McClennan can get us top of the pile and win the GF he'll already have done better than Smith in his first two years IMO (what does it really matter though, both have done very good jobs). If he doesnt win the GF then he will still be behind Smith and if we finish trophyless questions need to be asked.
However,I personally think we'll come out of this little slump and go on to win SL again and McClennan will turn out in the long term to be one of Leeds best ever coaches.
As Gareth says I never disliked Mcclenan, I simply wanted him to be judged the same as Smith was.'"

You evidently think people should be able ot post what ever crap they like against the players, coach, management etc. I differ.
Posters should have the courage of their convictions and be brought to task for their gross knee jerking stupidity.

I'm glad you said 'fans' because they certainly are NOT supporters.
Those people get true Leeds supporters a bad name with the players.

3 of who?
I've said on another thread that it is possible that we could win nothing next year, the thing is that the exact same group of players have just won it 3 times in a row so talk about individuals not being good enough or bringing other players in would just be silly, we know they are more than good enough to do it and we also know that we are more than good enough to get over a mid season slump.

Good Reading
That Smith lad never did make it did he. Wonder what'll happen to him?
Where is Mr Eccleshill Rhino, who contributed to the above thread?
