You just proved my point Vasty. People have a different opinion to yours and you take it as a personal attack - you're going at your own fellow fans for not hanging onto your every word and it's very ironic given that you seem to think Cas fans live in their own 'bubble'

To an extent he's right FWIW I don't think you do, nor some others but a fair few do. The years of being on this forum have
shown to some extent he's correct, to a point.

I wish I lived in a bubble. That would be great.

That is the case for a lot of fans, however for someone to think they are immune from criticism is ridiculous.

No it's not.... there's not enough room and it smells like soap

Getting back on topic .... it was a decent run out for both teams, first half lacking our two main props the cas pack and an excellent kicking game from gale saw us pinned in our own half for about twenty-thirty minutes. They tired and our substitutes were better than theirs - but at the end of the day its always good to beat our local rivals even at fiddly winks

There were some real positives from me - thought grix was safe and great under high ball, caton brown showed some nice touches and is pushing for bjb wing slot, tiny arona was pick of forwards, but danny kirmond looks really fit and hungry, miller and williams got a first opportunity to play and get rid of some ring rust. Wood looked decent. When alls said and done its still preseason

Bit disappointed with first half, very happy with result

I don't need to get over mysellf thanks.

I suppose it a difference in the interpretation of being a fan.

I don't like reasonable because that's not what it's all about to me. I wouldn't pat Cas on the back if they had just won the CCup, Wimbledon and the FIFA World Cup and I prefer the Cas fans who feel the same way.

I don't hate people from Cas except when the issue is RL then I do and I think it's great and has saved the club.

When I started watching us in 1988 we had no special games as nobody really gave a stuff about us we had lost that much ground against our once great rivals. Even on the occasions we won it was always just a fluke and even our own fans barely got excited. However in the last 30 year it's changed. We annoy Leeds and we are getting more annoying by the year.

However Cas is now a real rivalry especially since 2006 and even if they try to pretend otherwise being ahead of us is their number one aim and ditto us.

If this were not the case we wouldn't of had the attendance for a friendly that Salford will struggle to get as an average. This doesn't happen out of mutual back slapping it happens through passion.

I'm happy to justify my stance - I'm Trinity all the way and have no interest in other teams or fans. When we win it's because we are great and when we lose we are still great.

I have no time for appeasers, defeatists, turncoats, moaners, bleeding hearts or liberals of any sort. I detest Cas they are the enemy and always will be. Long live the rivalry i say.

Finally I know what your thinking, what happens if it goes to far and someone gets hurt - go on you were thinking that. I really hope it doesn't and I don't think it will but you can't sanitise life totally and it's these kind of fierce rivalries that really give an otherwise dull competition some meaning.

So there you are I'm just an old fashioned fan - a bit like that Ripping Yarns guy but without the furniture smashing fetish.

Sorry but you are wrong!

Any Trinity fan of any reasonable standing knows that Cas are an inconvenience... but the true enemy... who shal be detested beyond all other... is Leeds!


No more.... no less!

Bang on Spook I am 100% with you its Leeds

I don't give a flyer about Leeds, not in our league anymore.

Yeah but, Leeds are rubbish

Now this is a sweeping statement if I've heard one. Might be yours but pretty sure most clubs would rather try and win something than just be ahead of their cousins on the table.

I'd happily lose every game to Cas and win every game against everyone else. Beating them isn't the number 1 thing.

Not for me - I started watching in 2000 and Leeds are down in 3rd after Cas & Huddersfield.

I enjoy beating Leeds mainly due to the smug, arrogant mindset of their fans - always good to see them taken down a peg or 2.

But Cas are the main one for me, same area, similar ground/crowds - always incidents at the games between us - usually unpredictable results, the team I love to hate. Although oddly I want them to do ok, as long as it's worse than us!

Hudds I just straight up don't like. Maybe it's what they did to Sheffield, maybe it's the fact they are the first to come picking the bones of other clubs who get into difficulty. They are sugar daddy run, with poor support, historically have charged the earth to get into their giant, empty stadium.. Ugh I just don't like them at all.
