| As usual, just been doing a bit of reflecting (soz, can't help being wired up a bit funny...)
This is what has been reported:
Quote ="Peter Hood apparently"Media speculation that Brian Noble is to return to Bradford Bulls as head coach is precisely that – rumour and speculation, which I can categorically deny'"
Just one teeny weeny little thought wormed its way in, for the more mischievously-minded:
"...as head coach".
Think about it...
Was this a formal press release from the club? Might that clarify? Sam?

Funnily enough, it and its aliases were very very quiet from last Friday. Until, of course, this story was put up and then guess what?

| Brian Noble is Bradford through and through, anyone remember the statement he gave to BBC North in the town hall at the homecoming after Murrayfield ?
Now is not the the time for him to return.
However, I don't think we've seen the last of Nobby in some capacity at Odsal.

And yes, spot on.
I just posted this on the T&A board, where an old friend and his aliases seem to have free reign and, true to form, resorts to personal attacks whenever he is rumbled:
"Maybe it was partly because of the concerted and relentless campaign of destabilisation by certain people, including multiple-aliases, and with a clear agenda, that Hood decided to act?
Just a thought?"'" There's someone on the T&A who has links to the club some on the Info is coming from somewhere legit.

Its not a simpleton though. It knows exactly what its doing. I just wish everybody else did. But show it that it is rumbled for what it really is, and for what its agenda really is, and it resorts to personal attacks and derision like it used to on here. To this day, it keeps regularly referring to the 'Vark, and in very derisory and insulting terms, yet to my knowledge they have not had any direct exchange for many months. Worrying.
It reads this board though, and refers to material on it. Fortunately the mods seem to be able to spot it reasonably early doors, and ban it whenever it comes back before it starts wrecking on here again. I suspect that frustrates it more than anything.
Edit: btw Mat, its having a real go at you on there now too, even though you never posted anything on there. Think you upset it on here...maybe something you said? Its clearly frustrated as hell it can't get on here.

| The worry is that it has free reign on the T@A boards to dis the Bulls, its players, coaches and management which to those readers (both fans or casuals) may be induced to give credence to its vituperous comments.
On this board it was clear that it's sole intention was to destabalise support for the Bulls and having failed has now moved onto pastures new - perhaps more productive in media terms.
It's a prolific poster in the T&A with a single agenda. I fail to see why it should be so consistently bitter and twisted with totally irrational comments. But hey, what do I know about its twisted motivations.

That's making a great big assumption from a simple turn of phrase!
Nobby is perhaps putting feelers out via rumours to let people know he's available?
I think he'll go to another club. Someone perhaps with plenty of money but a few problems on the pitch.
That's not based on anything but opinion. Plus I don't think we could afford to pay a massive salary to a "director of rugby" just to be in charge of Steve Mac.

| Quote ="redeverready"As Bullseye states we've had numerous rumours over the last few years and we have never had the club come out with a denial like they have now. Something must have made them do it but we'll never find out why.'"
There have been rumours but why would the club say anything about Hape/Vainikolo for Leeds. They have nothing to do with the Bulls. The Noble rumour is all about the Bulls. You always complain that the club never says anything and then you all complain and try to read something else into it when they do. Lose-lose situation. Perhaps they would be better keeping quiet about everything and then you can say they don't tell us what's going on.

He is clearly referring to when they [iwere[/i at Bradford. Hence the reason why he mentioned the term "last few years."

So a rumour about two leading Bulls players potentially moving to another club has "nothing to do with the Bulls" but a rumour about Wigan's coach being linked with us is "all about the Bulls"? It looks more to me as if they are comparable stories. They both involve the Bulls in equal measure surely?

It was just the obvious inconsistencies in the club reaction to similar stories that prompted the discussion. I didn't notice any "complaint" anywhere.

getting into a conversation with hims pointless as he always has to have last word, bit like gettin in middle of mystic and fa's ongoing spats (although at least with those two I generally feel they both have best interests of club at heart whereas punisher is just a bitter idiot with an agenda)
let him stew

| Quote ="Duckman"Although didn't Wigan Bull mention something the other week about an offer from the Wigan board to ours involving taking Nobby back and we knocked em back?'"
Indeed.
As I understand it, the Wigan board don't want to be seen as sacking yet another coach.
Wigan (allegedly) contacted Bradford re: Noble, with the intention of (if the Bulls accepted) creating the impression Noble had "chosen" to leave.
Again, "as I understand it", Bradford or not, he won't be offered another contract at Wigan.

Well, after the abject humiliation I bestowed upon the slimy waste of space I can charitably understand it being a tad peeved
I don't often bother with the T&A forum but what is it called on there? I might if at a loose end be tempted to go wind it up a bit more (though the Bulls winning will be doing that more than enough, just now)
PS just had a look and there's no posts on the Bulls forum since Oct 2008??

Not the forum - the de-facto forum that is the "have your say" comments after each [url=http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sportbulls/sportbullsheadlines/Craven Story[/url
It is most active whenever there is bad news. But if you check out the latest story, you'll see it contrived to turn a positive into a negative as usual. I poked its anthill, and it responded in the usual way. Not quite so much personal attacks this time - I suspect it maybe half-realises that I only poke it occasionally to start it flying off on the personal stuff - and so it shows itself up even more for what it is. But it can't help itself. Check out the story about Noble returning a few days ago for more of its "insane drivel" (not my words!) for more examples of how easy it is to set it off on one.
Trouble is, you have to from time to time, else folk seem to start taking it seriously.
Don't think you'll have much trouble spotting it on there. You'll see it has almost certainly read your post on here...
[size=75ps. I very rarely post on there. When I do, its "Adeybull". There is an "Adey" who posts, but that's not me (several have asked). [/size

Good, glad I wasn't imagining things again. It does look pretty clear that Noble wont be at Wigan next year, and thankfully equally clear that he won't be at Bradford either.
I know that Noble has come out and said he was disappointed with Bradford publicly rubbishing any rumours, but if what you say is anywhere near the story then I'm glad we did and Noble can look closer to home for a good whinge.

Ah yes, easy indeed.
Seems the imbecile did take the drubbing administered on here to heart, judging by the pathetic Gollum-like scribblings.
I might get the homophobic moron banned off that forum too, if I can ever be arrsed. Though at the moment the Bulls excellent results are clearly paining it so much, maybe it should be allowed to stew in its own excruciating embarrassment
