Quote ="Deano G"Oh dear. Highlighting one sentence of Andy's post, in an attempt to show that I am contradicting myself by agreeing with him and then going on to develop the argument. Very weak attempt, even by the standards of Leeds fans posting on this thread.
What's so funny about this thread is that no-one was more pessimistic about Leeds' chances than Leeds fans when this thread was originally running.
It's quite bizarre that Leeds fans should want to highight their utter failure to get behind what is clearly a good coaching and playing set-up. It's drawing attention to the lack of RL knowledge and frankly a lack of character in many Leeds RL fans. Many people outside your club would conclude from the orginal debacle and this embarrassing regurgitation of the bitter feelings of those dark days for your club that your players and coaching staff deserve much better than the shocking "support" of Whinos fans.
But feel free to carry on, this is great stuff!

So you think that, at the time, Brian Mc and Piggy Lowes were above criticism?
Let me remind you that, at the time, we were playing poorly, loosing games we really should have won, hadn't beaten any of the top 4 teams, home or away and were looking like we might drop out of the top 8 with fundamentally the same team that were champions not more than 7 months previously.
At the time, we had gone from GF semifinalists and CC finalists to a mid-table, mediocre team with the only real change being the coaching staff.
It is very easy to condemn when your looking down from your ivory tower, hand-in-hand with hindsight.
With hindsight it may not have been so prudent to proclaim yourself champions before the first ball was kicked in the Grand Final.
With hindsight it may have been better to run your post through some spell-checking software before hitting the 'Submit' button.
With hindsight we can all criticise.
