I take your point about dramas etc, but sometimes that’s second guessing people’s reasons. If you aren’t happy with the way the site is run, or if you have issues with certain posters or content, then maybe you decide you want to get your footie/banter fix some other place. Internet forums ebb and flow in popularity and people come and go all the time. I know some good friendships have been built from meet-ups on here and some of you guys therefore have more of an emotional attachment to here than other sites may have. But you just have to respect individual’s choices.
I do respect peoples decisions Milky and I don't think I said anything regarding myself leaving this forum, as much as you or whoever else would like to see me do. I was just replying to a comment from Wakey and giving my opinion that I was surprised the way certain posters have left for whatever reasons. I've met up with many from the old BBC run site to this one. Like you say posters will come and go and it won't have any impact on my life. I know who my friends are.
De Paul was always Bielsas choice and it was Orta who was pushing Ryan Kent. Still hearing no good news on De Paul but more stuff on the Ukrane lad, even from Tony Dorigo raving about his thunderblaster shots Malinovskyi can offer more to Leeds than simply the ability to score thunderbolts from distance with the Ukranian also proficient in passing and creating chances. Last season, the attacking midfielder scored nine goals and supplied seven assists in 44 appearances across all competitions to help Atalanta finish third in Serie A and reach the Champions League quarter-finals. Stats by WyScout show that the Ukraine international had an xG of 0.29 and xA of 0.2 per 90 minutes of football last term while also averaging 51.66 passes, 5.84 dribbles and 3.8 shots at goal per 90 minutes. With Leeds seemingly barking up the wrong tree in their pursuit of De Paul, Malinovskyi seems like a cheap alternative who is more than good enough to play for an ambitious Premier League club like the Whites.
Wasn’t meant to be directed at you personally shaks... I think you misunderstood my choice of the word ‘you’ - the intended use was as in ‘anyone’
Looks like Harry Wilson going to Burnley which means another player off the candidates list for Leeds. Amazing really that at the start of this the plan was to buy UK based players with Prem experience or top end Championship players. Hows that going, greedy bustards
That's the first 4 matches live, £4 million quid, easy money this Premier league thing ay, more than we got for all last seasons TV games. They are still only here to watch the Leeds.
They have just made it a 9pm kick off, so if you are watching it down the pub you get to see the first half
Don't go the pub will be watching at home with no last orders or limit on beer. and another million for the club in the bank as a bonus.
I took some time out there, mainly due to BRB goose-stepping over all & sundry without anyone asking for his presence (as far as I know). Stunned to hear that Davy & Eire have left. Thought they might have been taking a breather, on hols or whatever. Can someone confirm that they've left forever? What were their reasons? Antone else left in similar circumstances?
Just watched a couple of vids and I know that they're 'polished' but he looks like he'd be a great signing. His assists should be a lot higher based on the vids and their strikers missing.
Davy wasn't happy with brb either,everyone to their own but a waste of time IMO as brb won't take any notice or lose any sleep over it, he has a job to do running the site and that's it, he is the dictator in charge.Eire said nothing as far as I know, so both will just post if they want to.
I think it's the nature of the written word versus the spoken. 90% of the stuff on here that has got people's backs up they wouldn't blink an eyelid about face to face. Some will see a post and assume the intent where there is none. Others have their own views and don't want to hear the other side. My banning was an example. There was no malice in anything I posted, it just gave some an idea of what I was like. Which was false. It's a shame but without disagreement I think it would get boring after a while. There should be a count to ten button.
