I've nothing to hide, it's not half as bad as what else has been written and far less offensive than his reply...
Quote: Hullkr shell "My message was titled "So you want out of Widnes???"
Pack your bags and shut the door on your way out then. You're your discipline is pathetic and you and the rest of that amateur shower of poop have brought shame on my team.'"
And in response to him i also wrote..
Quote: Hullkr shell "
So when you're publicly posting on your facebook page you don't want to be at Widnes any more what do you expect the fans to say? Granted the atmosphere is utter e at the stadium and we have a fair share of idiot fans but you will find idiot fans anywhere you go. As it happens I've been very patient this season, the only reason why I messaged you was simply because you've publicly stated you want out!! What else is a fan supposed to think with an attitude like that?? What fan wants a player at their club who makes it clear they don't want to be here?
You have to learn to take the rough with the smooth when it comes to criticism, isn't that what being a professional is all about? For every criticism I've read about you I've also read a lot a positives. I've stuck up for the team unswervingly this season up until last night and what I saw on that field was heartbreaking to watch.
We may well be up in the stands but something looked very wrong out there last night. Barrow showed us exactly what a tight unit, operating as a team with enthusiasm can do. We look lost.
I'm far from being one of the ignorants you claim I am. You claim that fans views on message boards means ' all' yet at the same time claim that those very same comments are proving a huge distraction? Which is it to be? You'd be best off not even reading the tripe that people put on those boards (because 99% of it is tripe) at all and concentrating on your own game. Same goes for any other player who feels like this.
Cullen has my backing and deserves a hell of a lot longer than 2 months to prove himself, any fool with half a brain can see that. Unfortunately, as with every club we've got plenty of fools with less than half a brain.
You're clearly a passionate person when it comes to rugby so I'll let your threats towards me and insults towards the club go, though to tell me to carry on paying your wages like an idiot does not do you any favours. I'll happily come and say any of this to any ones face any time.
If you do decide to stay at Widnes then I'll happily lend my support as I have done for 20 years, but if you don't want to be here then only you can do something about it. But like you who gets angered when fans slate you, I get angered when players publicly slate the opportunity they've been given to play for us.
On that note I wish you all the best whatever you decide to do.'"
Funny how you've conveniently not mentioned that one..

| Isnt it weird that Loz is the only chap we can communicate with from the club he's honest and i like that and he does sound like he wears his heart on his sleeve so i to take my comment back. It would be better if we could get him on a full time contract as im sure it was mentioned earlier in the season that once his work commitments finished he could join us FT?

He's removed his comment and apologised, we were all hot headed the days after the game but he's been honest enough to respond and communicate with the fans.
Troll.

| To be honest, I still think Wildbore could end up being a fans favourite. He wouldn't have won the awards he did last year if he was no good. It appears he's took the brunt of the fans frustration because he was the one who decided to make his own frustrations public and disrespect the name of the club. One of the worst things a player can do is say they don't want to wear the shirt anymore - even though it appears he has now retracted that statement.
No player is in sparkling form and no doubt if things don't improve a few more negative things will be said about players. However, IMO Loz hasn't been that bad and the only things I can remember seeing about Loz was that a few weeks ago people said he was selfish with the ball - hardly abuse. Providing Widnes can turn it round then I'm sure Loz will be amongst our strongest performers.

I thought it was Widnes?

Wakefield turn over a big club every season and i see no reason why Widnes can't do the same.[/quote]:7294.jpg |

| Quote: bUsTiNyAbALLs "Let's get this in perspective here, the 'idiotic person' you refer to is me. So before you go round making assumptions as to the content you should get your facts straight. I simply told him in response to his public facebook statements about not wanting to be at the club, that he should pack his bags and leave. I shouldn't have said anything in hindsight but the whole weekend performance on top of those statements has angered me. I suggest you go back to your own board and stop commenting on stuff you know nothing about.
As it happens I had quite an interesting discussion with Loz following that. He also said that comments made on message boards were extremely distracting for the players and the fans attitude is having an effect. I said he and the players shouldn't be reading the forums and concentrate on their own game. He also claims that Widnes is a great club and that he will put in 100% every time. He also finds it ridiculous that Cullen is getting so much stick so soon into the job. He's sacrificing a lot to play for Widnes apparently, days off work, time away from family etc.. He's far from perfect, particularly as he is by his own admission hot headed. However he seems an honest player who wants to succeed and wants the club to succeed.
On that note, I'm going to refrain from reading some of the bull on here and other forums and inflaming it further with my own angered posts. I suggest others do the same and that posts slating individual players are removed, including posts about sacking players. I think some of us (myself included) need to realise the damage the constant barrage of non-constructive criticism and abuse is going to cause between us and the players who clearly have issues of their own they need to sort as a team.
If you've got nothing positive to say. Bite your tongue and don't say anything. Players do read these forums whether they should be or not and it really isn't going to help them this season if the abuse keeps up." >]'"
Fair enough, I'll take back what I said about him earlier in the thread. (But it's a £50 fine for looking at the messageboards!)
There was a post on TIW about the forum being a bad thing. I agree to some extent that it is but we as Widnes fans are spoilt with the success we've had and the legacy of 1989 and the expectations of the fans is one of if not [ithe[/i most in British RL.
I'm not a fan of this "Sky Sports Era" as I like to call it, [ieveryone[/i is a pundit, [ieveryone[/i is an analyst, [ieveryone[/i picks the team, [ieveryone[/i has a say in how the club should be run whereas 10-15 years ago it was a few blokes in the pub having a craic. Now the impact of people' opninions - good, bad or ugly has far greater consequences than it did 10 years ago.

| The day we got the knock back from SL has ripped the heart out of the club.
We have been unable to pick up all the pieces.
Plenty of effort from clubs in this league has made it tough and fingers crossed we will re build soon
Lets hope our patiance does not get too tested

| Some of the stick the players have received this season at the games you'd think we were world champions two years ago not twenty. We should refrain from the abuse and that includes Lee Doran as long as he stops tackling like a puff and stops the great penalty giveaway.

| It’s all a tad pathetic really! Loz has signed for the biggest club in this league! (No disrespect to Fax as they prob the best club!) so he can’t expect to walk straight into the side yet if he works hard he’ll get the game time and he has been in the 17 every time available!
If he is only part time on little money why not sign for Cas? I bet he’s on more than you think! And once a week? Rochdale train more than that!
I was happy with his signing and he has put in good performances but so far his ‘hot head’ has been a liability for us… fact! Same as Doran, good player to many penalties and until he / the team starts running in / creating tries for fun the penalties will be what get noted!
What he did on facebook was daft, but you can understand maybe frustration but then what fan’s write on messgaeboards is only the same? Players friend s & family should really stay off messageboards as they are never gonna like them and will often pick out only bad comments and bread negativity! Why go on? Just to fill your ego if fan’s love you, but moan if they don’t? Messageboards are only there for people to moan tbh, hardly anyone bother to go on just to praise people, whereas people like to get a whinge out of there system!
I suggest Loz put’s the effort in plays wherever PC tell’s him too as he’s a Widnes player and turns opinions around with good professional performances rather than blaming fan’s and looking for support! The team are playing poor this year and on whole the fans are still behind them but you can hardly blame voices of discontent the way the lads have been performing can you?
Widnes fans are very fickle unfortunately and they will turn once performances do!

| That post is ridiculous, I read the forums because I am a rugby league fan. I am also interested in peoples opinions of the games and seeing if people have the same opinion. Friends and family do not see something completely different, we all watch the same game even if not Widnes through and through.

I meant a few people do, usually a minority but depending on where you go!
Not usually on site's such as this I must admit (why I quite enjoy it) but on the 'club boards' such as TIW people only seem to go on to moan about somethin! Be it players, staff, fans etc etc...
Yes friends and family do see the same gain but will obvioulsy be blinkered by there relative, mates as fan's can be with there more favoured players! Some people get quite offensive on boards and are idiots and why players & close one's should stay clear!
