Warrington RLFC: The Wire, NOT Warrington Wolves FORZA WIRE:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_46584.jpg



I knew the draw was taking place at 3.30 so I logged in here to see what it was. This thread came up without actually saying what the draw was so I went on the Virtual Terrace and it was posted on there. I then knew who was playing who in the next round of the Cup and was happy enough.

I can't for the life of me fathom why anyone would regard it as a bigger deal than that. It was a draw for the last 16 of a competition, not the live TV coverage of the final itself.

Care to explain again why you are doing a one man "boycott" of out away game at London this year?

Really? You can fathom out there is link between how a sport is portrayed and treated by the national media and it's ability to attract sponsorship and the like?

I guess some people just struggle understanding how the real world works.

This morning you had a great feature on the Chris Evans show, bigging up the World Cup and semi finals in particular. That show has 9.5 million listeners. Straight away they had a load of texts coming in from people asking if tickets were really just £20 for adults. As a result of the feature people will check it out, and hopefully buy some tickets. If not they will have learnt a little more about rugby league.

The day before on 5Live you had a shambolic cup draw which sounded like something off a dodgy radio four comedy. 5Live has around 6 million listeners at times, having heard that people will see RL in the TV schedule and dismiss it as some Mickey Mouse trophy for Northerners. That is why it matters.

Doesn't surprise me that the segment wasn't professionally done. Richard Bacon isn't exactly a professional employee, he was probably high at the time anyway, the dullard.

Boston should have done what Damon Albarn did all those years ago and chucked a beer at him.

Solidarity, as you may know i attend London games from time to time, even friends with a youth coach at the club. Big Gus thinks it's a great idea, the fans don't. I'm not offended that they're playing there just think it's wrong so i withhold my money, i didn't write a big long email. Plus would you like a 'home' game played in Leeds because that's the distance we're talking Stoop to Gillingham.
Is the club amateur, yes
Are they taking the pee out the fans, yes
Making a mockery of the sport, yes
All those points relevant to the thread topic.
The difference is i just don't go, i don't go on about it, just accept it and listen on the radio, i'm not a London fan just have a little empathy.

If you're trying to make a point i'd like to hear it, if you want to bring up a past post of me going off on one, do it, my views on life change with time.
As i get older, my tolerance decreases, more so a couple of months ago, i'm less inclined to give a crap about trivial issues and i'm fed up of whiny crap, and people writing complaints to the beeb over this (really)?
Was it unprofessional, probably but i listen to Bacon a lot, it's his style, people that listen to him do it because he has that style. People going on about 'but it's the bbc they should be professional blah blah' probably just bitter because of the 'bbc tax'.
I DON'T care, like i don't care about how good or bad Radio Merseyside/Manchester/Warrington/Wire/Humber/Leeds are.
I don't care how Williams is a lovely bloke and trains hard but is turd on the field and Walter has a go at me for it. I don't care if 15 people turn up or 15 thousand at the HJ to watch us. I don't care about all my posts that Builith wells (yeah spelt it wrong deal with it) always reports because of my phonetic swearing.
Im past caring, it's a forum and i'm past decorum and being polite and coming across as arrogant (i'm not but on here my tone comes across that way, so be it). I'm past saying 'oh good luck' to other teams. I'm turning into dropkick murphy but without the silly football fan worshipping and the IRA fan club badge. I'm past giving the faintest whiff of dog turd about what you think of me PY just because of your connections and superiority complex because you also attend the other age games. I'm not liked on here but i've never cared about that seeing as i know 10 people of the thousands that post, i get on well enough and they get me.

That answer your post, i'm sure you have a nice smart booty reply waiting for me as per.

People, worry that life is short, worry about the future of your children or family, worry about starving africans or banks robbing you dry, god even worry if we'll ever win a GF if you want.

Don't worry that someone doesn't know Billy f'kin Boston (some younger rl fans don't know him) and someone misread a poxy town in Cumbria.

It's hard looking in the mirror and thinking 'i'm the f'kin mad one in this world'.

To be fair to Yed, Williams is rubbish.

[b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag. [b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg



I saw Grix and Williams in the club shop last pre season picking up tickets for a pre-season game. Grix jibbed the queue, Williams didn't. I appreciated that. I also appreciated this Williams' nickname is "Dragon". You lot remember both of those facts when you're getting on his case.

As for the draw, I didn't hear it but it sounds pretty bad. I'm not going to go upset about it, I assume that the RFL will be having a chat with their "broadcast partner" in due course.

Right, we have established you don't care, but I don't quite get why you have written the two longest posts on this thread if that is the case? If you don't care don't read it, and your world will be a happier place.
