Errmmmm its the end of the season??? He has now retired also. He did ask Bailey to take part in his boxing event at the end of the year, but Bailey declined

Sport at most levels has a bit of niggle. Bailey is one of those players who IMO has got a bit of a reputation that is probably unjustified. People say he hides behind other players, not the case, if he has to fight he will, just ask Luke o'donnell. I would much prefer him not to get involved with the fighting and cost the team. I have not had anyone show me proof he actually goes around intimidating young players, another urban myth, but that just goes on all the time. This issue is no one on the saints side had the balls to tell him to shut it on the field.

In Barry mac testimonial brochure scroots gives an account in one of his first games first team running on the pitch. Opposition props were saying they were gonna smash the young lad. Next minute Barry mac has hold of one of them saying they would have him to deal with first. Maybe this is what wilkin should have done rather than running to the press

You forgot to mention that he always cleans his teeth, and that he loves his mum.

No that would be a lie. Look at the guy he has no teeth!!

Really? So is this the same young man who initionally tweeted this nonsense before rather quickly removing it? Is it the same young man who never complained to his Club? Is it the same Club who never asked Redhall to investigate this alleged Bad boy behaviour? Perhaps you would care to tell us all what your "chum" told you?



What was clear to see, and is easily checked on that famous video sharing site, was cheapshot Radford attacking a prone player attempting to regain his feet and play the ball. Radford was quite rightly sent off for his cowardly actions, whilst Bailey continued to play and finish the match in some style.



And do tell, what in your considered opinion is a man like Bailey? If you could perhaps flavour your opinion with facts, rather than regurgitating the many Urban Myths that surround TMFMISL, I'd be pleasantly surprised.....

And right on queue...you come up with a myth of your own.

Well what's clear is no matter what you're going to defend him. What i saw was Bailey 3 or 4 times hit the back of Radford's head with him elbow in his attempt to get up. Radford clearly sees red and belts him... and good on him as well.

Yeah that makes sense, isnt at all a double standard and definitely shows you as reasonable.

And i know Ryan who told me there's nothing in it at all, it never happened.

Radford gave Ryan a few cheap shots and was rightly sent off, was Bailey?
Every game they've met in since has been embarrassing for Radford who's been completely owned by TMFMISL, he's now retired.
Says it all really.

Ok if you say so.

You're right, what i wrote was completely incorrect.

at the leeds fans defending bailey. It really is laughable, he's a thug off the field and cheap shot merchant on it.

Bailey cant even spell his own name so rest assured once he ends his playing days he will amount to nothing.

I cant wait to "whoop whoop" at him when I see him face down in the gutter.

Perhaps you'd care to give us some examples?....

have you forgotten about his jail sentence and being caught taking banned substances?

Oh silly me, you wouldnt know about that as you only started supporting Leeds when Leeds united became rubbish

Oh dear me, is it half term already?

Kicking off with kids after the CC Final?

Oh sorry, in "Bails Is Innocent LaLa Land" it was all made up for some inexplicable reason. Out of the blue. No, really.

Feel free to provide some facts....names of the people involved.....record of complaint...Wigan/Redhalls response.....that sort of thing. As has been pointed out, Urban Myth doesn't cut it.

Or is your anti Leeds bile all you can bring to the table?

As I said, RL players - even kids - are made of sterner stuff, unlike you, clearly. Crying to the authorities over an altercation off the pitch is a no-no. I know who the Wigan lad involved was - and it's nothing google won't reveal.

Still, you're probably right. They plucked the name 'Ryan Bailey' out of thin air and concocted a story about him headbutting one lad and kicking off with a few more. Complete fabrication, obviously. Vivid imaginations, kids these days.

Good lad, Ryan Bailey. Butter wouldn't melt.

Ah, disappointment, thy name is Cronus.

You met the wife then?

Banned substances? Wasn't your very own Team Captain fined £2500 and handed a suspended one year ban for taking banned substances.....and they've built a bloody statue to him! The words "sticky" and "wicket" spring to mind when any Saints fan starts down that road.

In Ryan's case, both him and Keith Senior took medication that contained the banned substance ephedrine, in response to a flu like virus which swept through the camp at the Tri Nations.The lack of a ban and a £1500 pound fine was recognition by the powers that be, that it was stupidity in not reading the small print that listed the contents, rather than a deliberate attempt to boost their performances. Whilst stupidity is not really any sort of a defence, it's a million miles from the Columbian marching powder favoured by others.

As for the Court case. Some facts. There were 4 Rugby players involved. Bailey, Chev Walker and a lad called Barker. They came out of a nightclub to see another Rochdale Hornet player Paul Owen involved in a violent altercation with a young women. They intervened on the woman's behalf and Owen then punched Barker to the ground and knocked him out by booting him in the head.

Ryan(19) and Chevvy(20) reacted as most young men would have done, and steamed into Paul Owen. Unfortunately for them, they were all arrested and the trial judge took great exception to professional sportsmen brawling in the street.

Barker received 150 hours community service.
Ryan got 9 months
Paul Owen 15 months
Chev Walker 18 months.....

and yet in this tale of wanton thuggery, it is only Big Bad Bailey's name which is ever mentioned! One wonders what ever happened to the guy whose actions caused it all to kick off.

Ryan has since represented both Great Britain and England at International level, been a regular in, and collected 5 GF rings with the Leeds Rhinos, is happily married with 3 kids......but still the gormless few are happy to endlessly keep regurgitating any old crap about him if it suits their particular agenda.

As a wind up merchant out there on the pitch, he must expect some grief, but there are times, when I genuinely wonder if he was not a black guy, and had done everything the same in his life, would he still be receiving so much ignorant and negative comments?

in their defence, the statue of cunningham is tucked away next to a multi story car park.

Which is going to be moved quite soon near the new stadium.
