...Diagnosing SBD (Sporting Bipolar Disorder) since 2003...
Negs bringing down the tone of your forum? Keyboard Bell-endery tiresome? Embarrassed by some of your own fans?

| Quote: Marshy1 "This next statement may surprise a few of you but quite frankly now that Koukash is on board and your club is beginning to show signs of stability it can only be to the good of this region that Salford are indeed successful.
I think where your chairman lets himself down is brash statements which often sound ridiculous to other fans, don't get me wrong ambition is a good attribute to have in any business but better to wait and then sit back admiring your achievements.
It may all come to fruition and at that point you will all be able to stick two fingers up to the rugby league world.'"
I don't think you'd get many Salford fans disagreeing with you.
That's the way he does things and, ok it's not the ideal way in some peoples eyes, but it's the way he does it because he says that's his nature. A lot of other fans don't see what else he brings to the table, which is a shame. He has the ability to comfortably socialise with big nobs and the lowliest fan. How many of his detractors know what he did after winning the signed shirt at Warrington? He's approachable and probably a little too honest and trusting. He saved our Club when extinction loomed and the fact that he's a real character in a game that seems determined to stamp out characters has only endeared him more to us.
There may not be a fairytale ending at the end of all this, but he's guaranteed our team a longer lease of life with a great ride along the way. I can't ask for more than that. |

Sophocles was famed for writing tragedies, some might argue that it is very apt that a Cas fan is quoting him. He was also born and died before Christ, so pretty modern stuff from that neck of the woods.

Just to throw my lot in, as a Wakefield supporter (for a looooong time) I'm more than happy that Salford are on the up.
Koukash is certainly rocking the boat but good for him, and Salford. I'd prefer you not to sign any Wakeefield players and you have to play by same rules as everyone else but so far I haven't seen anything to the contrary.
Salford being stronger helps everybody.
Hope your crowds start rolling in when you have the team of all talents. I'll be more than happy if you turn up at Belle Vue with a team of all talents.
I just go back far enough to remember the Salford team of the early 70s. Would be geat to see the likes again.

I think my favourite Sophocles quote is "to him who is in fear, everything rustles". Quite apt for a lot of our relatives in the 'rugby league family'.

Sad preacher nailed upon the coloured door of time;
Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme.
There'll be no mutant enemy we shall certify;
Political ends, as sad remains, will die.:1602.jpg |

And our new owner could add another Sophocles quote:
"Fortune is not on the side of the faint-hearted."

Shouldn't Tony Smith be commenting on the attitude of the player ? |
