Obviously the sense of humour transplant was a total failure.

sorry mate - but I think it's you who needs a sensibility transplant - I was quite surprised to read what you put and, whilst I guessed you must be joking I wasn't too sure because of the lack of emoticons to flag it. Just goes to show, we've all started accepting the etiquete of the cyber-lingo without even realising it.

I will ensure I read 'The Forum Sense of Humour Rules and Appropriate Use Smileys'. Apologies if I've offended both Crusaders fans

benny the ball! There's a blast from the past

Panic over. Mrs Whinge was dispatched to Trinity walk this morning to pick up the aformentioned garment only to draw a blank look from the poor girl at the retail outlet, I've since rung the shop and been told they haven't managed to get them in as yet.

The Crusaders players have been payed today.

That's good news. So we're free to give them some stick now?

Oops, nearly forgot

I liked your mordant sarcasm, sans smileys.

Can you post everything twice maybe - once for the grown-ups, unadorned by smiley faces and such; then again in full tweenage Facebook mode, for those people who need to be told when to find something funny?

I am repulsed by franchising and regret that the only way we can maintain the status and future of the club is to press to be part of an organisation I consider to be operating a corrupt system of decidng who plays in it's top league. I take no great joy in the decision of Tuesday, only relief. I think these T shirts are a bad idea. I hope we survive and outlive Super League and this disgrace that is franchising. I don't really want to appear to gloat or be seen glorying in this farago.

well having been to all three grounds this year.... i'd say some of the gloating including the said 't-shirt' is a bit rich !!!! Crusaders unfortunately should 'never' have been in the league... however having been to both the Shay and Belle Vue this season a few bits of tin structure around the ground don't make it superleague standard.... Accept your 'luck' with grace.... You are in Halifax are out.... the matters closed unless the tin crumbles within a season.....

Grace is a word you fartowners forget, but for huge good fortune you would be either out of existence or scrabbling round the lower leagues.
I suggest gracefully, you but out of something that doesn't concern you.
