ME shows himself up for what he is with his spiteful, ungracious and sanctimonious fifth-column crap. Again.

For the avoidance of doubt, on another thread I said of him "You must be so gutted tonight, you defeatist negative sanctimonious excuse of a Quisling." That was posted in the heat of the moment, in the full flush of our unexpected victory.

However, now I have had time to reflect on it...I would not change one word I said.

My own view is that not much has changed, it was thankfully a match where we didn't collapse, but kept going throughout, perhaps at the expense of some of the more expansive play we have shown of late.

It did show we are more than capable of mixing it with the bestter teams, but it did not change the fact that we are in a rebuilding phase, and rebuilding takes time.

The people who will be disappointed are those who think this win means we're going to be challenging for the SL trophy. We're not, not this season, not next, what we need to do is keep building the foundations and keep the pot boiling in the meantime.

You mean many fans, the players and Macca himself? He and Hood have clearly stated they want to challenge for the SL title. Several players -including Menzies with his heaps of experience- have shown belief that we can make it to GF so why not put faith in them. We won't ever win it again with an attitude like that.

I didn't say I don't [iwant[/i us to challenge, of course I do, and I would be amazed if the players and coach said any different.

If our squad can perform to the best of it's ability consistently then we will challenge for the title, I know you obviously want us to challenge but get a bit more behind them. We can through effort, determination, quality and a bit of luck win the title this year, and there's definitely enough team spirit to manage this in the Odsal camp.

Nobody is behind them more than me.

People presume too much, they may have only tasted success or near success, and time has taught me that no team, not us, not Man U, not Barcelona, not Leeds United, not Derby County, not Nottingham Forest, not Chicago Bears, not the West Indies, not Australia, nobody can be at the top all the time, forever.

You did indeed, and on the said thread I gave a pretty fair answer as far as I was aware. Did you not see it? Duckman certainly did.

I can only assume that you did not see it or else you would not feel the need to reproduce your prose on another thread (perhaps you did not get enough people praising you for it so you thought you would double your chances of success?)

Anyway, as I said, I posted a reply to you in what I thought was a fair way giving a good assessment of the match where I gave the team and the coach the credit they deserve, yet it clearly is not enough for you. It certainly seems that I am damned if I do and damned if I don't.



I think you are trying to give me some abuse but when I find out what a "Quisling" actually is I will be better informed to comment. Pretty good word to use in Scrabble though so I will keep it in mind.

I think you are deliberately misquoting again FA. The win last night was most certainly not a fluke, as I have mentioned elsewhere. The point I was making is that unless the team can start performing like that more regularly in big games and last nights result is a one-off then it would look like a fluke result.

Which would be unfair.

Fair enough. But when the club media man's mouthpiece on here suggests that I should "consider suicide" (a post that subsequently was rightfully removed) then I think any comments I have made look kinda tame in comparison.

Agreed. Frustration obviously can get the better of some when we're talking about something many of us are all passionate about.

Yep. Spot on.

As any fule kno, a Quisling is a baby quiz, a bit like Trivil Pursuit Junior. HTH

It's a proper noun.

It's well noun, innit.

I always cheat at scrabble.

"Deliberately"?
"Again"?
your claim that I have previously misquoted you is false.
Your claim that I have now misquoted you is also false. I "edited" your post to add the words "by me", which you know.

You are talking meaningles gibberish. The result "would look like a fluke result"?

To whom?

Not to anyone who was at the game. Nor anyone who watched the game. Or read a report of the game. Who does that leave? Certainly no-one whose thoughts matter.

For goodness sake. You know perfectly well the point that was being made. Now stop making yourself look stupid by trying to suggest that you do not understand it.

Well done lads for Friday.. Great win. Nicely eating a bit of humble pie.

This still doesn't gloss over the poor start and some of the performances, but if this is the starting point to a new season then good luck McNarama.

Gosh! Should I feel jolly well ticked off?

Not in the slightest. I just do not see the point in you wanting to add to a debate if you are just going to completely ignore the points being made then pretend you know nothing about it when questioned.

I see normal service has resumed then!

Genuine post.
How much more can Bradford and the supporters take before doing something about this?

You are to good a team to be where you are.
Bring back Noble

Come on af & FA explain that one away.
