Lol. I love Rugby League. It's the only sport I enjoy apart from the odd bit of RU. I've supported Leeds since I was a kid and enjoyed watching the likes of Alan Smith and 'bionic barrel'. Even at times of living down under in Tauranga and Townsville (watching the 'Cowboys' regularly in the NRL was a delight) I still remained a Loiners fan first and foremost. It remains a great pity in my life I missed the most successful period from 2004 to 2007 being a temporary antipodean. C'est la vie. Instead I gained a second much more compatiable wife
When stood with fellow supporters, or indeed with colleagues we all enjoy a good 'healthy' moan and banter about the 'idiots' who run the club or company. We could all do a better job, or so we like to think. However, none of us take it too seriously.....and any that do don't tend to be the ones that have the best circle of friends. I remember a friend of my late father who stood with us in the South Stand who actually took pleasure in regularly moaning about John Holmes of all players. The rest of used to berate him of course, but he remained in good humour and we all stayed friends. Bluddy idiot.
I have a particular strong interest in WW2 aircraft and could tell you unimaginably small details about the differences between the different marks of Spitfire from mark 1 to mark 24 .....BUT I wouldn't act in a supercillious manner with others that weren't quite [iso[/i knowledgeable.
In a non formal forum 'friendly' like this ( or so I thought ) I sometimes (always
