[uTRANSLATION[/u: Even though I’ve wrapped it in eloquent prose I still have the same small town club mentality/inferiority complex that all Wakefield fans have and even though we have won I still have the need to gloat.

You're right, Tickle, Briers, Wellens are all trying to match Sinfield's gob, but don't have the back-up from the rest of the team that Sinfield does.

No inferiority complex here - to me every win is precious and to be enjoyed not as a divine right but as the reward of honest endeavour. And I'm not gloating either, as I know this is an early season game and that's the best time to play the big teams, before they've settled into their stride. What galls me is the fact that Rhino's fans can't just say 'Well done, the best team won' - and that is almost unique in RL in my experience, HKR being the other lot. As a Wakey fan I've spoken to fans from every other SL club at home and away matches after both defeats and victories, and have to say that Rhinos are the most arrogant and obnoxious fans in SL, along with HKR. We beat you fair and square, in an entertaining match in which (for the first time I can ever recall) we sussed the ref and played to his rules better than the opposition did!

Get a grip, for Gods sake! Try and understand what I'm saying, not what you think I'm saying! If defeat makes you so bilious, you really should think twice about watching professional sport and take up knitting or jigsaws instead!

Right – if you bothered to read one of the several thousand threads about yesterdays game you will have noticed that I have congratulated your well deserved win – so roll you fekking neck in.

Mine (and probably several others) reaction to you is one of “God, not another jumped up Wakey fan rubbing it in”.

You are just one of many Trinity fans who has taken it upon themselves to roll over hear to post “your opinion”. Now rewind to last year when we steam-rollered you and go see how many of us started gloating threads on your board???

Small town mentality shining through here matey.

As opposed to Big Sh, sorry City, but cranially challenged mentality!

Like I said - most obnoxious egoistical fans in SL!

p.s. where am I gloating? I enjoyed the win, but I am honest enough to realise that maybe as many as two of the Leeds team could make it into the Wakey team!

Just another pathetic opinion that you just felt you had to post in the Leeds forum hey?

The thing is that all your lot simply merge into one big, small minded, bitter, pointless poster.

But do please feel free to post your opinion here after our next meeting; you will be treated with the same contempt.

I love irony - it's such an intelligent form of humour!

You need to learn the meaning of irony my confused friend now go away you’re about as welcome here as a fart in a spacesuit.

Just a wee question, but why aren't Wakey fans (and Cas fans before that) entitled to gloat on our boards? It gets a tad boring after a while but so what - we're 3-times champs and fans of opposing clubs have - IMO - a right to come on our Boards and rub it in a bit when they beat us.

Also, like it or not there is a bit of arrogance in assuming that Leeds 'should' beat them because of who the clubs are. IMO Leeds 'should' beat them because on paper we have a stronger team, not because Leeds is a bigger club. Unfortunately the game is not played on paper. Thank goodness.

Cas fans' reaction to victory> Wakey fans' reaction to victory.

Fair play to them - they got deserved wins - sometimes the manner of the gloating can be a little 'base' but they're excited. Is it my imagination but was the Cas response a little more reasoned and muted though?

Its a compliment really. It shows what limited expectancies many other clubs' supporters have when faced with a game against Leeds and their cup final-eque crowing underlines their feelings of inferiority.

However, I'd expect quite a few more upsets this season. Leeds may very well have the best squad on paper but being able to raise themselves to successfully defend the title for the 3rd consecutive year must be an unbelieveable mental challenge for players and coaching staff alike.

Probably, although to be fair the Cas fans hadn't had to wait 19 years for a home victory against Leeds like we had.

Its been a long bloody time!

True - Cas seem to manage to lift themselves for one of the games each year.

We do ok at Headingley, but yep 19 years was far too long!

I'm starting to think there should be a specific typeface reserved specifically for when a poster is being sarcastic or ironic. The amount of rows it would prevent would be immense.

To the poster who said unloyal fans are not welcome here, I pay my money so can have my say. The start to the season is simply not good enough so this Friday I will vote with my feet.

If you accept mediocrity that is what you will continue to get. I'm not prepared to waste over £20 watching another shambolic performance like the Castleford and Wakefield games.

The basic skills just aren;t there. The team looked like strangers.

I thought you were in Dubai!!

You could be on to something here

Why is it blah. It's my opinion, I pay my money to attend games so can have my say and I don't like what i'm seeing.

Not sure what you mean about being in Dubai? Never been and never intend to so you must have me mistaken for somebody else.

Times New Ironic?
A form of quizzical italic text perhaps?
Where is Ernest Gill or his successor when you need him?

Are you using an Internet Cafe in Dubai or have you got broadband in your mansion? Did the Indian servants post this for you? Is it warm? Have you been up that really tall building yet... new tallest building in the world don't you know?
