Of course Jeff will know if you were there, he was probably taking you for walkies on your lead



Seen as I don't know anyone on here personally I can't confirm it that way but I do suppose that knowing that the pre match mascot wouldn't run with Ronnie to do his slide towards the South Stand and had to be carried off (by presumably their parent), that at HT we had groups of children lining up blue/yellow/blue/yellow etc. doing a dance routine in front of the SouthStand whilst most of the cheerleaders who were with them were hiding under their hoodies trying to avoid the rain, or that Delaney came on to the pitch prematch in his suit to present something to somebody and that instead of the usual Brett Ferres chant the crowd sang "Brett Ferres he's one of our own" when he was down injured. Also it'd be very strange if I wasn't there as me and several of my mates are in one of the 'Caught at the game' pictures posted by the club on Facebook yesterday....must have been my doppelgänger.

F*ck me have you heard your delusions of grandeur

you're just an old man that likes to moan.



Why? Wouldn't he take you to the park to play fetch?



You and Nantwich both say this yet then turn around and rip on those who find any enjoyment in it because they're the ones who can appreciate it's just a game and don't need to constantly rant and rave about how sh*t it is. Pretty hard to take yourself and Nantwich's laid back "it's just a game" line seriously when you're so easily offended by supporters who enjoy following the club and feel the need to call them "sheep" and "apologists" just because they don't rip the club at every opportunity like yourselves.

I am offended that you think I am offended....potty!

Not sure how I ended up in a distinct group of having no particular opinion one way or t'other, given the vehement criticism I've handed out to both GH and McDermott of late, but hey.

I just calls it as I sees it.

You'd like me. I'm lovely.

Sorry, have I done what?

I am too...Mrs McDermott says so and she knows best.

Paid the bet - we both know Leeds will not be making the GF this season

What bet's this then?

You're Brian McDermott? That explains everything.

We had a bet that I said Leeds would not make the GF - you accepted based on your belief they would.

You mean [url=http://viewtopic.php?f=17&t=592015&start=40this thread[/url where you wanted me to bet that Leeds would make the grand final? The same thread where I politely declined your offer as I wasn't sure we'd even make the top 4 but was willing to risk it betting on that, just to keep things interesting. Unfortunately you never replied so unless there's a discussion i've forgotten about then there's no bet.

See, you like to claim on here (and you've done so in this very thread) that i'm some kind of club "apologist" who thinks that Leeds will win every game and every trophy yet the above link proves that not to be the case doesn't it? You also like to pretend that you're a "realist" but that's also just been blown out of the water by your ridiculous bet offer of Leeds making the GF and your even sillier bet last year that Leeds wouldn't even make the top 4.

What's actually true is that, unlike yourself, I have a pretty balanced and unclouded view and over the last 2 seasons have got it a lot more right than you have done. I've probably got it more right than you for many years actually, especially if your attitude to the Leeds club has always been like it currently is.

Have a nice day.

I offered you a bet you took it so have the good grace to pay up - don't back out now!! You chased me loads to give you proof that I had paid too - suggesting rather smuggly that I wouldn't/wasn't going to pay - you are a hypocrite.

Where did I ever say that you think Leeds will win every game? I have never said and if you can prove it fill your boots



Lots of Leeds fans predictions got a lucky break by one piece of genius by McGuire at Huddersfield without that they wouldn't have won he LL shield and it would have been tough to get to OT from third.

What I said was you will seldom criticise the club that you will defend their position to the hilt - that is your prerogative. Is it balanced? I would suggest bottom of the league, least points scored, most points conceded, out of the CC at the first hurdle and thrashed in the WCC is pretty indefensible - these are the irrefutable facts that I base my opinion.

Have a nice day!!

Sal and I have vehemently disagreed on many many things on here. In fact we disagree on most things, usually.

But his comments about how turgid last Friday's game was I wholeheartedly agree with. Just a dreadful game of rugby league by two dreadful teams.

I can find positives. We won. We tackled hard in defence without being really tested. Singleton's hit on Carney almost made it worth watching the other putrid 79 mins and 59 seconds.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If they enjoyed that game, good for them. Sometime I find it satisfying to lay a really big turd. I guess that is analogous for what some took out of Friday's game.

G! Now I have to step in here. Opinions aside, I have quite a high pressure job, a long commute. I have 3 kids and the token nagging wife.

Having a $hit is something I look forward to. It's one of the few moments in life where I genuinely have a moment to myself!

A good $hit should never be underrated.

Sal, what on earth are you on about? You're not even making sense and whether you realise it or not you're just making stuff up now.

Just to clarify, one last time...

I chased you twice for proof of charity payment last year, while you were on the world's longest holiday...

Me not paying out on a non-existent bet this year isn't hypocritical. Like I said earlier if there's another thread i've forgotten about where I agreed to a bet then please remind me by linking or quoting it.

I won the bet last season long before McGuire's "lucky break". The bet was that Leeds would finish top 4 and reach the semis. They'd finished in the top 4 before that game even kicked off.

I seldom criticise the club, what's the point? Apart from the odd Ian Kirke joke over the years I don't think i've ever really criticised any players either. You predicting Leeds would just miss out on the Grand Final this year whilst I wasn't even sure we'd make the top 4, after last year's predictions where I was closes again (by a long long way) says enough to me about who has a more balance opinion of the club.

So please stop making things up, it's just embarrassing now.

Cheers.

Do you even support Leeds?
You sound like you would rather we had lost just so you would be proven right

I find it funny when people keep saying we/McDermott were lucky simply because one of his player came up with a great play to win us a game.....you could say that about pretty much any coach who has won trophies. (How would Leeds/Tony Smith have fared from 3rd in 2007 had Jordan Tansey's Magic weekend try not been given?). Also don't notice anyone saying how we were unlucky not to have the LLS wrapped up before that game took place considering McGuire's 'obstruction' try at the DW vs Wigan was wrongly ruled out and cost us the game and a 4 point swing between us and Wigan.

Great viewing wasn't it? I think that hit is still echoing round Headingley now.

Massive contact. Carney rode it well. Kept driving and played the ball. Then spent the next 5 minutes trying to get back to his feet (he gave it about half a dozen attempts, then left the field aided by trainers etc. He came back on for the 2nd half). Tough old game.

Sal as you are the one alleging a bet was made I believe the onus is on you to provide proof as Loiner has shown evidence that your offer was refused. So a bit premature to start the name calling. Also the fact that he had to chase "you loads" last year to pay up is rather an admission on your part to a lack of enthusiasm to settle the bet.

Looks like he's moved on and is trying to pretend this thread doesn't exist.
To be fair, I'd be the same in his shoes

Just pay up - you are a hypocrite and below contempt - a big man when it comes to showing off on here when suggesting I would welch on last year's bet but not so big when it comes to losing and shelling out. If you can't afford it just say so.

Even you have said you accepted the bet - but it wasn't a bet because I didn't accept back - get real I offered the bet

If you want to see an embarrassment look in the mirror.

Sal and Loiner need to get a room

Welching on one's bets is never a good look.
Nor is the refusal to offer an apology when one is warranted.
Same goes for claiming you've been banned and then pointing the finger.
Smacks of paranoia.
And sociopathy.

Sal, what bet is it that you think i've accepted?

Either provide proof or apologise for your continued attacks.
