Just an observation, but it’s strange sometimes how one mans “dirty sod” when that dirty sod plays for another team, is another blokes “he’s as hard as they come” brilliant type player, he’s never dirty when he plays for yours, or my team. Strange that!

hmm only if your blind lol I recall Sonny Nickle and he was a dirty sod (as was Shane Cooper and a number of others), never thought anything but that. Newton was a thug on the field and McIlorum needs to moderate his aggression or he wont be remembered for the fact he is a good player.

Just been listening to BBC Radio Manchester and they played an interview from Friday night with Finch and he deserves some sort of punishment for what he came out with. Absolutely slated Child's decision and if this was football then he would be fined for his comments.

Stuart Fielden's comments on Sky weren't as bad, but were highly embarrassing.

Stu "glass jaw" Fielden made a show of himself all night. The way he reacted to being took off, his actions on the touch line and then a silly childish interview at the end made him look stupid!

Yes, you're absolutely right. Leeds are a terrible team who never contest big finals or anything after all, eh? They chase the top spot every season and throw everything they have into winning meaningless league games and are just too **** to win them or finish top despite all their best efforts. They weep into their pints every night at their accursedly low league position and winning at O/T is just no consolation to them at all in their agony, bless 'em.

Leeds have mastered the art of what modern SL is about - i.e. their being no point in bothering to turn up for pointless league games until August, and saving all their energy for the playoffs instead. You might still delight in the joy of actually winning something (no matter how unrecognised and denigrated a trophy it may be) after all those long, lonely years of mid-table obscurity and think that finishing top is a goal worth throwing everything you have at all season long. The successful clubs like us and Leeds however got bored with winning the hubcab years ago and direct our energies at the part of the season where it counts instead. The current Leeds side will be acclaimed in future generations as one of the greatest club sides of all time. So will Saints' teams of a few years ago. Your current team will merely go down in history as a footnote. So ner.

Nice mature ending there.

Hate to correct your tangent, but Leeds have little relevance as to who finishes top, as I originally said, and 2 consecutive fifth place finishes confirms that.

Now we're in the playoffs, it's a whole different matter, but I'm glad you got that off your chest.

definate red card and probably 2-3 game ban.

how wane can defend that is shocking but he is his coach so feels he has to???

as for saying he is a good coach cos he won the league wire have played virtually the whole season in 2nd gear and if we beat wierdness today will have finished 1 point behind the team that bar against widnes has gone full throttle at the league.

we will see how good his coaching skills are when at the end of the season there is no

finch
luilui (sorry about spelling)
lima
carmont

3 of the most important players leaving in one go is huge that would be like taking

briers, morley, hodgson out of wire in one go
sinfield, peacock, maguire out of leeds

Graham, Price, Eastmond out of Saints

I don't that Micky Mac is a thug, he plays the game hard, plays aggressive and these types every now and then will cross the line every now and then.

We'd kill for a player with his aggression at the moment. We've had our fair share of dirty/tough players over the years with the likes of sonny Nickle, Vila, hooper, cooper etc but teams need these players.

Re: Micky Mac = Thug : Sun Sep 09, 2012 9:28 pm  

Vila that was the name I was looking for but had to settle on Hooper who was another one who could do the dirty when needed.

It is annoying but every team needs agressive forwards.
