[quote="headhunter":lnxdgxk2]Union people are idiots. They almost universally accept that league is a better, faster game played by better athletes, yet for some reason they continue to disregard and belittle it. That game is tedious as hell from start to finish. If he'd ever played or even bothered to give more than a fleeting chance to league he would realise that the game is far more 'technical' than Union ever could be. Booting the ball into touch, scrummaging and forming rucks and mauls aren't areas that involve any skill, technique or mental capacity whatsoever. These are clumsy, outdated facets of the game that are also extremely uninteresting to watch and thus have to be defended in some way by people who are too prejudiced to see the truth.[/quote:lnxdgxk2]: |

| the ultras or brigantes or whatever they're called are slowly gettin on my nerves! Bunch of bloody babies who think just because the can make a few flags and run around with flares they're some how bigger and better fans than every1 else. The majority are just chav'd up kids but then there are the odd few grown ups in there who are perhaps more pathetic than the kids and are in to the whole flag buildin thing to get some kudos and respect off a few 16 yr olds. Ffs grow up! I support my club with as much passion as anyone, yet dont have to pretend im in some european ultras band set off flares and make flags just to prove it. Its pre-school stuff! T055ers!

| Quote: hula89 "For example Wire's "Barmy Army?"
I know of someone from Warrington (who I believe is on this site and was in the thread that resulted in Wire Wonder's dismissal) who uses the "Barmy Army" as an excuse to be an apparent hooligan (he is a compulsive liar so I dont know if anything is true) however if you think that there has been any hooliganism then feel free to ask me his information etc and I will happily tell you who he is and they can investigate. Anyway it would seem that this "barmy army" is used as an excuse for hooligan behaviour can I ask if the group started in good will like Ultras or if its just non-existent and he's simply a compulsive liar?'"
Barmy army is the collective name for those that can be bothered to chant, the one you're looking for are 'the casuals' or nobheads as most sane fans call them.

I don't know why but "set of BÃ stards" made me chuckle, maybe if that'd been used rather than ultras all along we'd be better off ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

Ah ok he calls himself a member of "Wire's Barmy Army" he's a pillock basically though as I said glad I no longer work with him.
