let me start by saying you were hard done by with the senior moment.

never the less, when the storm went up to lift the trophy there was barely a leeds fan left in the ground.

i understand no one likes to see their team lose but melbourne had travelled thousands of miles to be there.

just think it was abit of "im not getting my own way, im taking my ball home"

im a salford fan so im used to seeing my team lose and ive never walked out of a game early.

I agree.

Remember how disgraceful all the Saints fans were in october for not watching Leeds lift the SL trophy?

ha, im not the biggest leeds fan but even i stood there and watched!

Indeed. Defo a degree of hypocrisy on display there. But they'll not be the only set of fans to have done that. I've never stayed to see Stains or Leeds lift the trophy when they beat us, and would expect most of their fans to do likewise.

But go easy on the[i schadenfreude[/i? Their fans (most of them, anyway) don't deserve it at all - and will be understandably bitterly disappointed to have lost that game at the death - even if their hierarchy does.

Im quite sure the Salford Fans wouldnt have been there had it been Salford in the same position...

doesnt make it right though.

and i doubt we need to worry about that situation for the next few years ha!

Is it wrong that some fans just hate losing? We've all been there...wanting the ground to swallow us up.

I may be wrong but i'm sure the threads were about the Stains players sloping off after having their ar$e's handed to them.
I'm sure it couldn't of been about the stains fans especially last year because there was hardly any of the fekkers there.

We didn't leave the game early...........we just didn't watch them get presented with a trophy that they didn't deserve. How many finals have Salford played in as a Superleague team?

That's a mighty big bunch of grapes. Want to borrow some sugar for them?

I’m guessing you didn’t mean to be funny but this is the funniest thing I’ve read since getting home.

Salford… in the same position…

What was the crowd tonight? 27000 something.

What do you expect from bandwagoners?

give it time

Funny that! Because on my Television I could clearly see Leeds fans leaving as the Video Ref decision came through for Anthony Quinn's try.

Irrespective of who the teams are and who wins, it doesn't show RL in a good light, having a presentation in near deserted stadium.

Re-check yer quoting before attribiting comments to me

I don't care.

On yer fekkin bikes they played you in your home town, how much fekkin easier do you want it


Leeds the only team to play the WCC 4 times at "HOME"

It's more a lack of intelligence, an inability to hold a reasoned debate and a leaning towards playground immaturity than a reaction to any alleged arrogance.

Your last 9 words prove my point wonderfully.

No need to reply

I'm sure football will be counting the cost of Man Utd parading the Carling Cup with half of Wembley being deserted. The bean counters won't be the slightest bit happy.

Hardly a new occurrence is it. The stadium is always going to be at least half empty come the end of any Final, in any sport...

good for you.

But generally, when a team loses a final, their fans will exit the ground.

Show me a final where a sizeable majority of the fans have stayed behind and watched the presentation after their team has lost.

No? didn't think so.

Where you been LL???

Good to see you around still!

Oh, I've always been here, lurking. You can tell from my post total that I don't have much to say these day, Adey, but every now and then I feel compelled to say something.

Glad to see you're still offering up sensible threads and intelligently thought through posts. It's a shame that not everyone else can or does and that's one of the reasons I gave up on the whole forum thing. G1 does have a point about the abundance of tery on this board! It's of epidemic proportions at the moment.

Not like the old days, is it? Not that many of us around from the inception of RLFans?

I lost all credibility on here when I described Gareth as "sensible". Thing is...most of the time he IS, sad to say.

I've a lot of time for the sensible Leeds posters on here - they know who they are. I despise the Leeds hierarchy because of what they have done to Bradford, but of course we cannot talk about that. But that is no fault of the sensible fans on here, who post interesting and sensible stuff. MacField has one hell of a job. But the Fekkwittery do my head in. We had the same when we were carrying all before us, as you know. Wonder where all the "I love Wobbie" muppetry are now?

Be well, mate.

I stayed.
