Interesting thread. There are no "yawn", "snooze" or "bored out of my tits" smilies. LL, you are living proof of the old Irish proverb, "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."
With respects Ristac, and I've never shown you any malice, 1, you've lost me on the "being caught out over the none attendance match reports" I've never ever claimed in my opinionated match reports that I attended the match, we've been down this road a 1000 times. The accusations were made by, and started by those who chose to fabricate the truth for their own personal gain, namely chippy. If you remember correctly, he started this when Gay Lord Hopkins and Marcus Barber joined the forum and made false accusations against me, and he's still trying to ride that bike, but keeps falling off. For the record, yet again, I chose to leave JA and come over to a better forum. The fact that some thought I was at the match after reading my opinions is actually testament to the way I wrote it, it was only after chippy began spreading the virus that some changed their opinions, and actually believed him, he did it for personal gain to try and get others to jump on his bandwagon, at the time he succeeded, with some. Risrtac, I like your posts, whether I agree with them or not, and I've never seen any reason to berate you for anything, and I wouldn't any way, but as a decent poster, you yourself have no need to keep going back into the past, and you certainly don't need to be a bandwagon jumper, you hold your own very well. You have your opinions on Cellino and other things, I have mine, and others have theirs, I respect your opinions and posts, as I do others; it's a football forum and we all have the right to our opinions without malice or berating. I have my reasons for my opinions, as do you and others, I'm not a peer follower and don't succumb to peer pressure, my opinions stay as they are untill proven otherwise, then and only then will I change it. For the record, I was against Leeds60 being banned, I personally couldn't see any valid reason for his banishment, he posted his opinions and certain others kept replying to those posts, over and over again, then tried to put the onus on him, even though the constant repliers chose to reply and not use the mute button. We've also lost a good poster in Jock, if it keeps going the way it is there'll be nobody left. I'd like to request that Bucks reviews Leeds60's situation after taking a look at, and taking into consideration the way some posts have been written since he got banned, and Bucks or Elland can send out a personal invite to invite Jock back. This is a great forum, and you can see the hard work put in by some, but continual personal attacks cos opinions are different are going to turn it into another JA.
My previous post probably came over harsher than it was meant to sound, I will explain in a bit. I do pull my hair out with some of the stuff you write in defence of Cellino and anyone Itailian sounding but as you rightly point out, you're entitled to your own opinion. The place is better without Leeds60 in my opinion and I truly wish Whitejock would start posting again. When Leeds60 was banned I believe three posters returned and his banning probably saved two others threatening to leave (not me). I'm a little puzzled as to why you have brought his name into this but no need to explain.. True you never claimed to be at matches but IMHO you did those reports to make it sound like you were, you intended for readers to believe this and if I'm wrong I apologise but if I saw it that way others probably did too. This leads me on to my previous comment... I don't believe you are clueless was my opening line, no need for me to defend this as I am disagreeing with the accusation that you are. I do however believe you have dug yourself in so deep with the pro Cellino stance that a stubbornness to be proved right is overtaking your logic, just my opinion though and no different to when you accuse people of having blind hatred towards the man. My final line on that post... We all want to be seen as credible, I believe your back is against the wall on that one due to the match reporting side of things. It isn't me being nasty, just the way I see it. Some posts aimed towards you do go a bit over the top but your style of posting seems to bring that out of people, I also think it is wrong to believe anyone on this forum is a peer follower. I was all for Cellino at the start of this season but for me personally, He has done enough wrong for me to be proved wrong in the supporting of him.
Understood Ristac, and respected........ The leeds60 content wasn't meant to be part of the reply to you, I guess I was on a roll and kept going. Thing with Cellino is, I see him differently to what most others do, he's certainly not an Angel, and has made mistakes, but other owners will too. I'm only interested in what he does at Leeds and not his past before hand........
With all due respect you are no nearer been present when I get hooked ( I do occasionally do, but never by the likes of you), than when you pretend to know what you are talking about regarding players, and performances at ER. I understand why you would have a pop at me yesterday, but not a clue why you decided to attack others? If that's your best cast put the rod down you won't catch anything. As TC pointed out you are coming across more like violet Elizabeth than Rex Hunt.
Just my tuppence worth, but I dont see the need for the levels of criticism directed at any Leeds fan on any social media forum. We all have our beliefs and are all entitled to them, same as we all have our own ideas on players and who should or shouldnt be picked, signed etc. Nobody is going to be proven 100% right or wrong on the Cellino debate regardless of how many hundreds of times the same thing is repeated. What I do have an issue with, is the odd poster, popping in here, once a month to have a go at someone they had issues with on a different forum. Seems all a bit sad to me the lengths some individuals are willing to go.This place is by and large good crack and many have made friends through it. On a separate note, would also like to see WJ posting again
Mine and Neil's argument is the reason He is now just lurking. It wasn't my intention to cause him to choose to stop posting and I regret my part in it. I have apologised on here and privately, hopefully he will heed the comments and return when he next pops in for a lurk. There isn't much more I can do. Perhaps Cellino signing a world class coach and a team worthy of us might bring him back.
He still pops in...... Last logged in on Monday........ Would guess he is picking up pms when he does, And no doubt he reads the threads daily without logging in.
I too am only interested in what he does at Leeds, I take note of what he has done in the past as it reflects what he is likely to do with us. When I ignore his past and look at what he has done with us am I happy, not in the slightest.
