Quote: JLM23 "We were hammered because you were the better team on the day, you outfought and out enthused us all over the pitch. The Kicking game was spot on, and the way you got amongst our attack was excellent. It was a well deserved win. Yes, I believe your players attitude was much better, your players got on with it instead of crying and whinging about the game attacked it with vigour. As for our key players being too old well, time will tell, what I will say is they didn't look too old when beating Leeds at Leeds in the cup, as I have said you were the better team on this day and were clear and convincing winners. However, it was 1 game in a long season, and if we go on to win the Grand Final it will be forgotten about. Infact for that matter, if you come to Knowsley Road and we hammer you, I have no doubt that you will be calling for Nobles head and blaming the salary cap for everything once again. As for the little scouse "insult" Jukesays and 21-12 will tell you it really doesn't bother me, but if it makes you happy go on with it.'"
Some of us it does bother. I'm St Helens born and bred but have lived in Liverpool for 20 years. My children are scousers and all of my friends are scousers - and none of them are bad. Like most reasonable and well adjusted people the world over. Wherever you go there will be a perception of badness - Parr and Beth Avenue, Worsley Mesnes - the list is endless.
