Is he incapable of just keeping his big gob shut? The guy is a first class buffoon.

He's an embarrassment to Leigh and ultimately will be their downfall.

Anyone who feels the need to explain that he's a millionaire during a conversation, apparently to reinforce his viewpoint, is a bit weird.

Barrow coming to mind, Rich ?

Yes. It's nailed on. Followed by countless Leigh fans saying "well, I never liked the bloke".

As Shaggy said "It wasn't me".

As a multi millionaire Derek should no to have separate passwords for his Twitter and Facebook accounts. Either that or download an app that does not let you tweet when you are drunk.


‘I feel the treatment of my players is inconsistent with others with regards to testing and disciplinary outcomes.

I doubt that testing has that much to do with the RFL but more that the authorities know what they are up to hence why their players are getting chased for testing so often.

Rich,

It's disappointing that our 'BOD' attempt to apply strict rules on the players' use of social media', yet don't seem to think that the same rules should apply to them. How on earth you enforce those rules on the players, at the same time as running amok on Twitter etc. yourself, goodness only knows! A 'disciplined' example should be set by those at the top, and apply throughout the club - in any club. (in my opinion, of course!)

Perhaps if he'd kept his dummy in and helped the RFL, not my favourite bunch either, with their investigations it might not have come to this, instead his arrogance is what has probably ended up with this outcome.
I don't know the bloke but it doesn't look like the Leigh hordes are jumping to support his innocence so perhaps his attitude leads them to think he was capable of what he has been charged with.

spot on

Class,and di



gnity don't go hand in hand with Deggsy ,you might as well as add modesty to that, the guy could be ready to implode ,then where will Leigh be?Then to blame his son.

he's a joke.

Prior to the General Election didn't Mr Beaumont openly say he was backing Andy Burnham and erged every one else to.
Now he is publicly backing him in the Labour Party leadership battle.
Perhaps his approach to Mr Burnham is payback time.

Good evening John, at the moment I'm watching Lanky trying to win the T20 Cup,that are 90 for 2 after 11 overs , I'd say average,anyway about Andy Burnham, I'm sure he is still the Honorary Chairman of Leigh Centurions,which may be a reason Mr Beaumont seeking his advice.I could be wrong though.

Why weren't you at Wembley watching Fax's second team.

To one sided for me,I've just bought a Speedway bike,a bit of interest in my owd age

I'm still trying to get the hang of not having any brakes,I may ride it round the Shay perimeter in a couple of weeks.

I hope it's got stabilisers on it!

Good Morning Pete, I hope both you and Di are well?And ready for our game on the 13th,I can't wait should be a cracker,I hope to see you both then.Ian.

We're champion Ian and hope you are too. Really looking forward to our game although it is a tad tempered by our loss to the seagulls last week. I'm still wondering how we lost that one! We'll see you and the lads in a fortnight!

Afternoon Pete, John and Ian, have you guys thought about Facebook, Whatsapp or exchanging phone numbers or emails? might be easier than a RUGBY forum ?

It'll be reet.

Just scoll down mate it takes about half a second.

Grove, shudds Durham Citra Nova 3.9 % Mmm!

Chill.

Who has rattled your cage pal?Some blokes like to meet up for a pint and chat ,nothing wrong Wi that,get over it,I bet you are a barrel of laughs to live with.

Thanks for being my Pal Jagger, you're right I've no friends, I'm no fun and I'm just feeling all left out, up to now that is.

Back to topic, Leighs Director of Rugby has a tonne of passion, seems to be putting his money where his mouth is, sounds like he likes a drink and his RL. Doesn't sound too different from a lot of RL fans to me. Derek probably just uses social media more than a lot of other RL Directors and this is his Achilles heel, in conjunction with his passion for Leigh boiling over at times.

Leigh have perhaps gone from a lot of peoples 2nd club to upstarts (and Derek has played his part in both), who people might not shed a tear for if it all goes south, but I bet the fans and players are enjoying the ride. Everybody knows they have a dam good side on their day, and the League didn't lie, they had an awesome season prior to qualifiers.

Cracking post and right on the button.
It doesnt really matter how many fans of other clubs get all high & mighty with what he says,what matters is the gates keep rising and the sponsors keep falling over themselves to be a part of the club.

It all smacks of Barrow to me. If he runs that club like he runs his gob then they're in trouble. It's OK being billy big balls but once the ar5e falls out of it all there won't be one helping hand or one song of praise for him. His only epitaph will be: "For four years, he managed to polish a turd".
