Think Wilkin should follow Jack Charlton's example. Jack kept a legendary black book of players that he had on his hit list. Wilkin should have put it in his database and sorted him out next time he played him. Another quote from JFK "Don't get mad, get even!" also applies.
Bailey's game plan is to upset and put players off their game by fair means or foul. This is not a new technique and it's suprising how many so called professional players get sucked in.
It wont be long before Bailey reaps what he has sown. Wilkins comments should not be allowed to detract from a game that was a tremendous advert for the sport.

Jon Wilkin is the worst loser ever.......despite all the practice he's had.

It's that complicated.

It is sad what was such a good advert for the game, sadly one side had to lose has had some much media coverage of one players comments and an 11 page thread so far, I just Hope Jon learns a lesson and how to rise above such petty comments to media in future.

Thats it ,well done, blame Wilkin for Bailey being a c0ck. If you want to moan about bad press then look at the cause - the embarrassment that is Ryan 'hardman when I'm hiding behind my team mates' Bailey.

Or....I blame Wilkin for Wilkin being a c0ck. The cause of the bad press is his annual guttural whining citing either the weather, his socks being too tight, he hadn't shaved his legs or his hairdresser was off sick. The big girl should be sponsored by Mothercare.

As a Bulls fan, it's clear to me Bailey does what it says on the tin, winds people up. How he celebrates really is up to him and he is simply playing his pantomime villain role. If Wilkin has an issue put him on his arris in a game, don't bitch in an @rse rag.

For the record, Wilkin presents himself as far more of a n0b than Bailey ever could, simply because he is unable to back up anything he does or says. It's that simple. At least Bailey for all his wind up value, has a pop and plays the role. Wilkin would be p!ss poor at pantomimes, he can't fulfill any role.

Man up Wilkin and do your chelping on the park, this isn't wendy ball.

I`m not quite sure what all the fuss is about to be honest.
Bailey does get under the oppositions skin players and supporters and clearly that works for him.
Wilkin making the comments he did just shows that timing is everything and should have kept his mouth shut and saved it for another day.
What offends some does not offend others.
Let`s face No 1 Saint some could be offended by your sig so maybe calling Bailey a cock is not that justified hey!!?

Jamie Foster best watch his back. Big bad Bailey will be looking to add another youngster to his collection.

Ryan Bailey = Purple Aki?

Funny that. Even a couple of the Leeds players were unhappy with Bailey so I'd say that Wilkin was very able to back up what he did. Interesting too that after that bit of handbags had finished towards the end of the game, Bailey was straight off the field so maybe his coach isn't too happy with him either.


Wilkin wasn't speaking about himself so you are talking out of your sphincter.

Ignore Jaybs, he never has anything positive to say about Saints. He's the most boring poster on these boards.

I find it hilarious how people are having a go at Wilkin for Bailey being a complete knob.

Exactly ! talk about being blind (or maybe thick)

Firstly I don't have a sig and secondly what has that got to do with Bailey's appalling behaviour both on and off the field?

People seem to forget that Wilkin actually spoke about Bailey 'fronting up' to the young players, not celebrating in front of them.

They forget that there was nothing to indicate this happened at the end of the match. Could it have been the cause of the handbags?

They ignore the fact that Wilkin wasn't talking about himself but the young guys, nor was he talking about the other Leeds players or about the win; just about Bailey.

They don't realise that Wilkin was asked about this on his way to the changing rooms after the game. He didn't go to the press. They came to him.

Stop it !! How dare you use facts.

Who was it Bailey went up to at the end???

Who cares anyway.

I was sat in the east stand right in front of where Ryan Bailey was jumping up and down like a crazed loon. I can't recall him fronting up to any Saints player young or old tbh. I was filming the entire thing from the Zak Hardaker try to Kevin Sinfield going up for the trophy and I can't see anything on this to corroborate what Jon Wilkin says. So unless it happened after this it might just be that Wilkin was a tad pee'd off with Baileys OTT antics.

Can't you fookin read? I said there was nothing to indicate it happened at the end of the match! Remember the handbags. And Bailey's sharp exit from the pitch.

So in reality the story is "rugby player uses aggression to dominate opponent during game and celebrates when they win", Ill alert the UN, you handle negotiations with Nato.

There's absolutely no doubt Bailey's a grade A loon, or a niggly sod. I suspect most of his opponents dislike him with a passion. I also suspect he couldn't care less.

job well done by Bailey then!

play the villain again and wind up the opposition causing outrage, then get targeted next season, throw the opposition off their game and leeds win the GF again.

there is a reason he is in the leeds side and has been for so long, now its just a bonus that he is hitting his prime.

like SMcN said, he is a villain on the pitch but a nice guy in general

My apologies it isn`t your sig it`s your little advert telling people to f off that I was referring to, not sure what the correct term is for this but I`m sure you get my drift.
My point is that Wilkin and you it seems were offended in what Bailey did. Others it seems were not offended. Likewise the same goes for your "thing" telling people to f off. Some would object others wouldn`t.
At the end of the day who cares is my point, end of, finito, move on, you lost we won again, Wilkin spit the dummy again. See you next year.

Another who can only look through Red coloured glasses, did you not read what I said, another one I will just ignore, it is just good that the majority of us can just accept each others opinions and leave it at that?

Bailey IS the new Purple Aki

Just watched a re run of the Sky coverage

Bailey is clearly seen celebrating both in front of the posts and in the ingoal area... celebrating towards the Leeds fanshich is clearly entitled to do.

There isnt one single Saints player in shot in all that coverage.

Whatever took place prior to that on the field during the game is pure speculation and Wilkin just comes across as a whinger and sore loser in the press quote.

Which is sad because the game was conducted in the best sportmanship and both teams are clearly seen congratulating and commiserating with each other after the whistle.

Nobody is saying you have to like Bailey it would be very strange if you did.

Clearly he sees his role has getting under the skin of the opposition but I dont recall him being penalised in the match for anything that could be considered unsporting or even dirty.

CINCO.
