It really is bewildering where all this vitriol have come from. I've never particularly wanted any club to do badly (with the exception of w!g@n but that's compulsory as a Leyther), when Fev were on top I said it was a shame SL was closed to them & supported them when they beat Cas in the Challenge Cup, many Fev fans seem to have taken the entirely opposite attitude to our success with constant slander and conspiracy theories about our players. One of the best things about RL was that fans of all clubs had a comradery, got on well with each other and could have a laugh and a chat in good nature. Now some fans seem to be getting worse than football fans for petty vindictiveness, it'd be a shame if this small group of vocal idiots spoil one of the best features of our sport.

You're right LS. It used to be called banter. None of what I read today on twitter this morning could be classed as banter towards DB for example. It was vicious and downright nasty and these are becoming a little less of a minority.

I wish I had the time or inclination to keep all the comments just on the off chance we got promoted and I could force them back down their throats.

Well said D.

And now I await Mick Jagger's reply.

Derek I've never been on Twitter ,so I haven't seen or read about what has been said about Derek B,how can I see what has been said about him?

Mr Who? Anyway I never mentioned who was saying what. That's immaterial to my general observation that we might now be approaching Wigan on the hatred scale

Ian, I realize that. I just think his post are pointless and meaningless & little irritating sometimes. That's what he strives to do with his post. I just let them go over my head really and have a little fun with him.

Ian, have you found out who bertie is yet?

Derek I don't think many posters on the Forums are vicious or nasty, most have a bit of banter or a wind up,its all very lighthearted,as for Bertie?Well it's week end and nothing been said,I don't know anything,maybe he isn't coming.

The forum is gentle next to what else is out there. I was thinking of contacting them stating they had won a prize and saying they had to come to a certain place to collect it and celebrate. Their real prize will be to say to Gaz H and DB exactly what they have said about them and give Gaz and Derek a right of reply

Hopefully today's result will bring the fans who predicted world domination back down to earth!

WHAT! are you for real. I know, let's have a go at those who think their club will do well . FFS

There's a difference between thinking we will do well and shoving down the throats of opposition fans at every opportunity.
