Not at all. What I do "mind" is silly little prats who get upset when someone else dares to have an opinion about their opinion – and are so intellectually retarded that they whinge that that situation is the same as them not being allowed to have an opinion.

What such dipsticks want is the right to have unchallenged opinions – which is probably understandable, since they tend not to have the ability to actually present a coherent argument to support their opinions.

Now you know.


What a prat, a silly one at that you are.

You apitamize the three P's, which are Prat, Pedantic and Pathetic.

Because it's a meaningless friendly and a league fixture is way more important, maybe? :)

Still, as I said.. we'll happily take the 2 points whether we play it they forfeit it.


I agree, give us the two points and while we were at it . . . . .

LEEDS you still owe us two from Cradiff 2007, which with two seasons worth of interest means we shall take 6 points off you :lol: :lol: :lol:

I suggest that you go and find a dictionary and look up 'fact' and 'opinion'.

It might help you do avoid getting confused in future.

Now – back to the topic.

Where are those "facts" (plural) that you claimed meant that the game in question should be cancelled?




PS: it's 'epitomise': "Prat, Pedantic and Pathetic" are not proper nouns and "the three P's" does not require an apostrophe as it does not possess anything. It's worth making sure of your ground before telling people to do their "homework".

Right then where do we start?


* Harlequins away now looking mid-week

* Hull KR pre-season game cancelled so the Harlequins game could take place a week early (so that they can play Manly on the 22nd)

* Bradford now only have had the two warm up games and face a week off, game (Hull KR at home), week off, game (Huddersfield at home) scenario

* The possibility of only two games before the Wigan game

The whole thing is a f**king farce and the RFL are to blame,


:lol: and you've got a cr*p head coach and a squad full of Quins rejects! :lol:

2 points are worth more than 0. That is a fact - therefore from that fact we can establish that a league game worth 2 points is worth more than a meaningless friendly - even if it does bring in some more fans for Quins.

That is why the friendly should be cancelled - and if it's not cancelled then Bradford should make a real fuss of it to the RFL and get the 2 points if the friendly isn't cancelled.

I have told you that a Super League with two points at stake has more at stake then a friendly.

End of argument.

So a fact leading to a conclusion that is an opinion?

There is still no "fact" that the match should be cancelled – only a conclusion that has been reached, which is itself an opinion, not least because it's not the only conclusion that can be reached.

As a "pedant", I'm still waiting for your facts – you did post "facts", so you must have more than one. And you haven't even posted one yet as to why the game should be cancelled. You posted a fact, which has led you to a conclusion – an opinion.

Do they not have decent schools in your area? 2 former quins, 1 of which is actually a Bradford Lad does not make the Bulls squad full of quins rejects.

Next, we've signed 2 grand final winners and a world class halfback who is due to arrive within the next month.

Learn to troll.

Bulls bring hardly any fans anyway, mid-week games are good (every other major sport in the UK manages just fine with them). Its a 3.5 hours drive from Bradford. We dont play on the moon. As much as you'd like us too. :P

Play this game at midnight on a Tuesday, Im not fussed. What I am fussed about is that the RFL allow a friendly to take place over a league game worth two points.

The RFL are f**king useless
