Lefty believes a) in socialism/marxism b) in a nationalised mail delivery service and c) Lee Briers is a consumate professional, so his view has to be taken in that light

It's just an articulate version of some of the rants on here. The players and the coaching staff are well aware of their failings, I'm sure.

professional

I thought it summed up the letter quite well. It's not as if it hasn't been said or written a million times before.

Up until the bit of drinking alcohol it was a good letter. Although I don't really agree with players signing autographs or chatting every week straight after a game. They're probably to scared to go near the fans atm



I like the Michael Jordan quote as well. Very good.

It was a well structured, articulated and passionate letter. I cannot understand for the life of me why Lefty chose to post such a lazy, pointless and unconstructive reply to something which has obviously taken someone very passionate about the club time and effort in creating.

It was boring. What more can I say.

You are clueless.

JWP's blog wasnt exactly like an evening in with Lord Byron and Oscar Wilde but we gave encouragement to him in recognition of his effort.

Totally understand if you dont agree with it, but you should offer a counter opinion rather than a "Boring init" type response, in my opinion of course.

Expand then why your in the minority regarding that letter!

I didn't give it a boring innit type response.

I got one paragraph in and then closed it down because I nearly fell asleep. I'm not bothered what he thinks about the team. Send it to Gatcliffe he gets paid to read those sort of things.

Same thing. Why over complicate it.

Come on now.

Am I?

Interesting but I disagreed with the fact that we are too pumped up. We are no where near the physical size and strength of the Aussies and the lack of size of Gleece, Monas and Hicks since they have been here is shocking.

Is apathy a common trait of yours, out of interest?

Looking at the players it would appear they spend too long pumping themselves up in the gym [iand nowhere near enough, running, passing, catching[/i and playing together to develop and understanding.?

I loved this bit.*

[size=59*hopefully it's not true - that we can't run, pass and catch[/size

Well if you don't know the answer to that scroll back this thread then maybe you might realise you are.

No not usually. I just like people to cut the bull. I can smell it a mile off. All this letter writing feeling sorry for yourself garbage doesn't wash with me. Just get on with it.

Yes because all the people in world who have read that article have posted on this thread.

Actually I bet that's not far from the truth!

Blasphemer! The Guardian is at the head of the largest selling local newspaper group in the country.

May I suggest that open letter writing to a provincial newspaper is analogous with copious, frequent and heavy posting on a similarily provincial web forum though?
