I was not on about bumpy!

Can you even understand what I've written, not in any way shape of form have i tried to put down anything positive. I'm reasoning regarding our current position, about fan expectation, about how doing X has an effect on Y. I express opinions the same as everybody else, there was a question and I said what i felt might happen, we have a golden opportunity to win something, I asked the question of others as we are now well ahead of early season expectations how will fans react IF we fall away, that's a genuine qestion why are you so het up about discussing the fortunes of the club?
I do attend games, I am a club member, not that that's any of your business and all the ones I don't I watch via my paid for subscriptions,commenting on something you have no idea about. Not that any of that means I cannot voice an opinion on an open forum, no-one put you in charge of stating who can comment and who can't!
From recollection plenty had predicted those positions, I said that we should be easily top 4 with the squad we had but had a stab of 5th on the back of not having faith in LR based on the past two seasons. As I have commented previous I have given LR the plaudits this season and still being able to be balanced to make comments about things he has still being getting wrong (IMO and others too).
Again, you make a stupid comment like Doom and Gloom Merchant did about how us winning is 'killing' me, you really, really have not the feintest idea do you!
Basically you and a few others try to stifle open debate on an open forum with agressive posts...yay you!

Oh.

So no ability to actually come up with anything constructive...I thought not, your original comment was based on knowing jack shizzle and this response is even lamer...you're a proper funfactory for me.

I think you know nothing about rugby league you just post on here to annoy folk, you slate everything the club does now it's on the up like you said at the start of the season.......not, as at the start of the season you said our coach is useless he should be shot he needs to go the clubs gone backwards we are all blind as we are happy clappers, I'm sure if I looked back I could read more e, you've dug more holes then a garden mole.

Here we go.

Crack on with airing your opinion Bumpy, nobody will begrudge you that, no matter how ill-informed & negative they may get. As I've said to you a few times, you attract the attention you do due to the personal abuse of Radford, the childish petition to try and get him sacked, and dragging his name through the mud saying he was bullying players. None of which you've ever apologised for, which shows you up for the man you are unfortunately.

Sorry if that was too aggressive.

Has no proof either about the bullying like I said knows naff all.

Chill out chaps and have a read of this. All Hull, aren't we?

I keep coming back to the Leicester City thing. I think everybody said they will get a couple of injuries/their form will drop/they will slip down the table etc etc. I looked at their fixtures in December and said that month will sort the men from the boys. It just didn't happen, they continued on the roll from start to finish.

I just hope that we also keep proving the doubters wrong. We all expect the fall to come because we have all been through it before, but the last premier league season proved these things do happen occasionally!

The leicester comparison would be more like batley winning the GF than us

How so?

Leicester finished around 2/3rds down the top division last season, then finished top this.....

Are Batley in the top division??

no but john kear is like the rl equivalent of rainieri

Ranieri has a personality!

The club severed up overhyped mediocre dross for almost a decade and I have no regrets over any comments I have made. If the team put in half-d displays I will criticise, if they put 100% in I will praise.

This season has been a massive, pleasant surprise, but not ever the most blinkered, most optimistic fans saw this season coming. It has inspired the fans again and I fail to see what benefit there is from the usual suspects on here dragging up old posts and threads to score points and start disputes. This club needs every old fan, every disgruntled fan, every apathetic fan and lots of new fans back through the turnstiles to grow and be a consistent Top4 force.

Sorry already beaten to it. Widnes won that accolade at the start of the season by members of the press.

I don't think this was the point tbf. More the overblown dramatics of "this is my last thread, over and out" then a few wins later here we are. Thankfully.

It's not just a 'few wins' though is it, it's finally a complete change in culture at the club. We are digging in and winning games we wouldent have done in previous years, games like Friday that was in the balance at half time, coming back from behind against Saints. The team are more determined, more consistent, bigger in size and fitter. I doubt anyone would have stuck their house on us being top of the league this year back when we were plodding through dead rubber games last summer. Most predicted a boost from the signings we had made but not to this extent.

I can only repeat again that im not sure what benefit dragging up old threads and comments has during what is a very positive time for this club, apart from to flatter a few ego's on here of course...

Personally I think it's interesting to reflect on. I don't think anyone was saying we would be top part way through the season, that's true. Equally most didn't declare they were done with the club in an "over and out" way because they could perhaps see some positives in recruitment and academy investment rather than declaring the club's death. Your post was designed to be emotive, so it's a bit disingenuous to be upset when having said definitively you were done, you're quickly back when things turn round a bit.

But there are many, many hundreds of this type of 'fan' at every club, in every sport on the planet. It is not news.
It is however mildly amusing when the glory fan ditches the club when in turmoil, then returns when things look rosier in the garden and claims the title of lifelong, loyal fan again!

It's more the "over my dead body" style pouting speech and flouncing out of the office with a door slam like Joan Collins in Dynasty backed up by sneaking back in through the tradesman's exit for a party and ignoring the big death thing. Like Patrick Duffy's shower scene, although that was Dallas.

You are so dramatic yourself.

In the scheme of things does it actually matter if they choose to post or not regardless of what was said previously at another point in time when emotions were running high.
This forum is for everyone not just for the likes of you and your ilk.
We are performing well, playing largely entertaining rugby and mostly winning.
Why can't we just all get along and enjoy our current form without continued infighting, nitpicking and dragging up old pointless posts?

It does matter as if loads of others had thought like him and didn't buy a pass or turn up for games the club would have really struggled financially and it would have hindered our recruitment for the future.

It was a massive overreaction, as mentioned in that thread there were plenty of positives last season and lots to look forward to this year, but the poster went way over the top and was totally wrong.

Luckily most fans stuck with the club, those who choose to abandon the club in one of the most crucial seasons in years deserve some critism.

People mock Knockers but he still stuck with the club I and bought a membership.

So many unprintable jokes, so little time.

Are you enjoying our current form? You've posted nothing for five weeks whilst we've been winning, yet had so much to say after the Widnes defeat. Just an observation, could be argued a bit disproportionate. I don't think I've told anyone what to post, have I? If you're going to be as provocative as starting a thread on the death of the club and the end of your support for it, you should be able to take it in good part when you do a 180 IMO. Look how you slated me for suggesting we gave Radford some credit in the early part of the season. You overdid it accusing me of "gushing praise" (which you were called out on by others) but so what? Turning out OK so far which I'm sure we're all pleased about.
