Topish

Oh a trip there in the next round of the cup if both sides win...change the name to Paris Inn...down the shears gates...

Possibly, whether that is actually true or not i don't know. To me it is possibly just a case of the "bad" examples/cases of younger people are in the media or always talked about more than actually a larger proportion. With the increased media avenues it is just easier to find out about the bad examples. 99.9% of younger people do have respect and a fine but as with most things the 0.1% gets the attention.



Obviously with it being an internet forum it is difficult to gauge what is an attempt to be funny and what is actually being disrespectful. I do agree that some posts are bordering on a lack of respect.




I agree, this week specifically has been ridiculous regarding the Bailey and Maurie threads. Some people, including myself, have tried to discuss the actual issues invloving tackles but it just goes downhill.



It depends to be honest. If i have made a valid point it does get slightly annoying but at the end of the day if people don't like me or what i post then that is upto them. I'm not going to stop posting.



I'd probably agree with that also. I think not just in relation to me but in relation to all posts people can just jump on a bandwaggon. Looking at the Bailey tackle, i'm sure some people have thought it wasn't that bad but have seen that people are upset/annoyed about it and just jumped on the Bailey is a dirty so-and-so bandwaggon.



I'd totally agree with you. I often just read the forums (both here and Redvee) and often even make a response and don't post it.



Again i'd agree. Often some very good issues get embroiled in the arguments and go missing.

In relation to the arguments and derisory comments i think it is a case of people reacting. They are obviously posted to get a reaction and the issue comes when people respond. If people just ignored them and didn't bite then they would fall away and people would get bored of posting them.

I reckon we try and goad the pastry tasters and dulls posters into a rivalry.

After all we've swapped dancing partners to Leeds, which leaves Wigan and Bradford looking a bit lonely



I think they'd look lovely together.

All this is fair comment, but that Bailey feller, he's a bit of a thug. What do others think?

Is that because they consistently make you look a tw*t on here?

I guess you can stick a fork in this thread before it gets burned.

And they'll be further away from the top by 4 p.m. tomorrow.

Cant argue with that

Nope, its possibly got something to do with the consistent personal insults they throw around though. How on earth most of them are allowed to get away with the stuff they do on that forum is beyond contemplation.

Plus in general, Leeds folk just tend to be 'not to my taste'.

...perhaps leeds and Saints should organise a blind date for them!

Like it


Text me the scores tonight mucker, I am at a party, with no sly tv or such like.

Instead of testing on animals, we could test on the natives of Leeds.

Thats an idea.

We'll see

There are pubs that serve tim taylors, in bradford, leeds, cas, hudds and wakey!

Cook em a bit longer.

Haha

I would just like to say sorry for my behaviour this week! I’ve been the worse culprit out of the lot!

Yea but you have mitigating curcumstances.

That's OK ours will have had a rest and will have a game in hand.

To be honest I think it's a cracking rivalry, its a shame that it includes hate. We should reserve that for Wigan and Bradford respectively. We are the envy of the Super League, and when we meet it's top class entertainment. The game last Friday was enthralling, and the cup tie promises to be mouthwatering, lets rejoice in the fact we are super duper

I had a really good time when visiting your spot last week, met some top people, and had a really good night out. There's no problem as far as I'm concerned.

You're absolutely right with your assesment, both here and on southstander.com, and most of the usual suspects have shown their hand on this thread in an attempt to defend their actions.

Personally I just cannot understand what motivates someone to encourage others to hate them and then call it "banter", its not, its a mental illness



I like to compare it to you sitting in your favourite pub tap room with all your friends when a complete stranger walks in and sets about insulting each and every one of you - it just wouldn't happen in real life and yet to some its an enjoyable form of recreation when online.

You have to feel some pity for them really...
