I didn’t hear what was said nor am I trying to condone it, as I have no doubt he has quite rightly been found guilt and punished accordingly.

And although he may not have got down on bended knee and begged for complete forgiveness and claimed that he was provoked, but he did apologise a few days after the event.

He said: “I do not wish to be drawn on the situation as it is currently under investigation, other than to say I have never been treated in such a manner in my life, let alone during my time in Rugby League.
“I rose to the bait. I should be better than that and I apologise to anybody who witnessed that, as it is not my persona."

If anyone wants to read Derek's statement in full simply type "Mealey-mouthed" into Google and you'll be re-directed....

As it takes two to tango, could you kindly advise where I can find Bradford's apology?

You want Bradford to apologize for Beaumont's foul-mouthed tirades? How does that work?

I didn't realise you needed two people to let out a Foul mouthed tirade of abuse

I don't really recall if we've really been told exactly what anyone from the Bulls actually did wrong

Or did I miss the detail somewhere?

Fair enough that you pointed that out, apologise and retract that

Of course no one from Bradford said anything, how could they have done when they where pre occupied blaming the referee!! no no that wasn't it,, ahh it was Leigh's dirty tactics!! no that wasn't it,, ahh must have been the slow play of the ball!! No wasn't that either it was Bradford dropping down to championship standard that was it!!

How about this for a thought!!

Your not quite as good as you think you are! JL & KH aren't actually very good coaches!! Let's pretend we didn't say anything let DB take the full rap and hopefully this will detract from the fact that we are average at best. We have a defence like the hull of the Titanic and if it wasn't for Gaskell we would have lost more than once this season. Sheffield by 10

Thanks for that! Another know it all

That's right! And when Sheffield win I'll be proven right again, But It won't matter because as you all keep pointing out on this forum , we all raise our game to play the mighty Bradford!! It's like a cup final for all us minnows.

And you lot call the Leigh fans arragant!

It's fair to say we have a few deluded individuals and a fairly crackers DOR but I'll take them everyday over the patronising fools who run and follow you outfit.

Ok,we'll see

I'm sure we will Bets'y, hope it's a cracker

Do you not think it is a fact that teams will raise their game against both sides, due to f/t status, size of crowd on day etc?

On the odd occasion Bets'y yes I would agree, no doubt in my mind that the crowd played a massive part in Leigh beating Salford, but I think Bradford genuinely underestimated the top 4 or 5 teams in the championship and the fans are clutching at straws for reasons why they didn't steam roll the opposition instead of looking within the Bradford dressing room and coaching staff.

I'm going to miss these Leigh fans next year, will you still visit when we're in SL?

That's it Bully I like your confidence but I'd concentrate on finishing in the top 4 if i was you, one game at a time starting with Sheffield.

Well that rant was worth waiting a week for. Nevermind the majority of supporters on both sides have said it's over and let's move on.

If you're having this kind of paddy now feck knows what you'll be like if you don't win promotion. I wouldn't be surprised if this poster was dear Derek himself.

TBF this language is fine! can't be Del

Rant! Paddy! not at all, no red face or gritted teeth for this call sign. As for Dear Derek, Please!!

Having watched leigh for over 35 years you get accustomed to the highs and lows. if we dont win promotion the teddys wont be thrown out of the pram. Unlike many i can appreciate both sides during a game and the best team tends to come out on top . I tend not to blame the ref or the slow play of the ball and certainly not the club directors.

What will be intersting is if/when Bradford dont win promotion!! i think the teddys and the baby will be launched.

Good luck at the weekend you may still be in 2nd on points difference come Sunday evening.

I thought the majority of Leigh fans were fully engaged in meaningful conversation with Wakey fans on their board. Did nobody tell this one he is needed elsewhere.

Not as much fun as you lot very little fight left in the Wakey fans, it could be construded as bullying.

Good luck at the weekend you may still be in 1st on points difference come Sunday evening.

Same to you!

You may be correct Highlander - Having played these championship teams for many years i dont underestimate any of them. A lesson you lot may want to learn instead of thinking these teams just raise their game to play Bradford.

On any given Sunday!!

Interesting that Uncle Derek has been giving masterclasses on after dinner speaking to his lads: www.loverugbyleague.com/news_180 ... fical.html
