It was easy, I just typed the letters in various groups to form a sentence. Wood didn't connect with it properly, even woods body language sugests same.
No need to be a smart arse in your replies It goes bottom corner and more importantly in the back of the net. Don't understand your issue with it at all but can't be bothered to get into a lengthy debate about it.
Wasn't trying to be smart Josh, I've been waiting a long time for someone to say "how can you say that"; it was about humour, not being smart, however, would it be any different to your comments about Cook, the midfield and not knowing anything about football, which was a dig at my previous comments. I've noticed you don't seem to have a dig at others that don't share your views or opinions Josh, have you been making it personal just lately. Banter and humour aside, and for the umpteenth time, everyone on this forum is entitled to their opinions without malicious replies, it doesn't make for good debate or conversation any way. I have my opinions, you have yours, I do not attack your opinions. I stick by my opinions and views untill proven wrong, then I'm happy to humbly admit I was wrong, and not untill. Back to the penalty, My comments were about the penalty being unconvincing, the goal is irrelevant. I watched the video, it wasn't, in my view, a clean taken penalty, it did look like a slight miss kick, which is probably why the ball trickled along the ground. Woods body language just after the kick strongly suggests he wasn't that impressed with it either. Had it been during a league match, many would've said it wasn't a well taken penalty, but we'll take it any way, including me, and probably you too. There are/were 4 people who gave their opinions, and added details and reasons as to why they formed their opinions, myself, Sniffer, Leeds60 and Jock, Leeds60 and Jock were forced out, Sniffer gets attacked, as do I from some................can you see the pattern there? Let people express their opinions, it's a forum, we don't want it going like JA, but it's certainly, and slowly headed in that direction.
I was right in line with the peno spot and IMO it was one of the best, cleverest ones taken.............or maybe the ale made me see something different....
There you have it, Irishshako was at the game saw the penalty first hand and gave you his verdict so you can hold your hand up and say you were wrong Many myself included give reasons to our opinions, I don't read Sniffers posts, I read a couple and I find them idiotic verging pathetic so I choose to avoid. If he isn't someone on a wind up he needs help. Leeds60 wasn't forced out, he was banned for ignoring repeated warnings from the moderators on here. WJ I miss, he was a good poster but it is no secret he and Chippy had a bit of a spat and now WJ refrains from posting. He wasn't forced out, he made a decision not to post which is a shame. I read all your posts LL and whilst I disagree with a lot of it I can often see your point even if I disagree. The problem is you have kind of made a name for yourself in that it is blatantly obvious you overrated the foreign Italian imports trying to persuade the rest of us how great they were/are even if many felt they were poor. Take the Wood penalty, we know you would prefer Antenucci over Wood, we know you would welcome Adryan back, there doesn't seem to be any balance when it comes to your opinion on players. Wood scored, it might not have been the best penalty ever but you didn't like him scoring it. Cook is rated by all the coaches, yes he had a poor season by his standards but he has oodles of talent, he will get better and better and he will pull on an England shirt one day so I understand Josh and his comments, I'm pretty sure it was meant figure of speach and not personal
It was a smart arse comment, it clearly was, if anyone had replied to me like that I would've responded the same way, you dont get special attention And my opinion is that similar to Ristac's. You seem to dislike anyone who isn't an import and they cannot do any right in your eyes. I've never heard so much complaining from scoring a goal before.
OK, if you want to class it as a smartass comment you're entitled to think that. How I give it, and how you take it are entirely different............seems to me you're getting a bit hot under collar Josh... I didn't complain about the goal, I said the penalty was unconvincing, where do you get so much complaining from the words "the penalty was unconvincing" I just don't get it, ya not making any sense Josh. You were the one who made a big deal out of it, not me. How I view all Leeds players are my opinions, same as everyone else's, including yours (here we go again, same old same old). Does it matter where they come from when they wear the Leeds shirt? I didn't start all this, those who hated Cellino, and anything or anyone linked with Cellino jumped on that bandwagon you just jumped on. When everyone was saying ship Berardi out, I was saying he should stay because he has a lot of potential to help Leeds, I suppose I could say the rest is history. Because I thought Antenucci is a better striker than Wood (which he is, and Wood is an import) and Bianchi was a good midfielder, 1 or 2 seconds ahead of others, and Bellusci was a good defender for us, even though he had his off days, like every player in team, does that mean and, is it a reason to hate and attack me, or anyone else? Because I saw Cook differently to you and others, does that mean, in your eyes, that I know sod all about football because my opinions are not same as yours and I'm an outcast? You, or anyone else have never mentioned what impact he brought to team, and if you believe he did, why did we end up virtually nowhere since he came on scene Or, I don't think much of Murphy, like a lot of other Leeds fans don't, but I like Dallas, is he an import? I love Taylor (English) I loved Snoddy, is he an import? Going back to the good old days, I loved Giles, Bremner, Gray, Lorimar, Harvey, McQueen, Jordan, Strachan etc etc, are they imports? Would you like to count the number of imports we have had at Leeds since Cellino took over, not counting British players, Duke, Antenucci, Bellusci, Silvestri, Berardi, Bianchi, Montenegro, Diagouraga, Botaka, Carayol, Wood, Sloth, Bamba, Antonsson, Ngoyi, Bennedici, Adryan, are you saying I shouldn't support any player Cellino brought in? by the way, Cooper was one of Cellinos signings. And by the way, I've never asked for, nor received any special attention, I'm no different to anyone else on here; as I've previously said, we're all equal when it comes to expressing opinions.
Giving you all the respect you deserve, your posting history shows on quite a few occasions you asking for support and "special treatment". Quite rightly you didn't get it. All opinions are equal, but those who see the team first hand have opinions that are more important than the those of the fans ( not supporters) who only watch on tele. You were chased off JA for posting ****eness as fact and unfortunately you started your postings here in the same way, it was spotted early and then confirmed by JA regulars. I chose to se your opinions in the light you chose to post them and view everything you say as unsubstantiated. Once a fraud always a fraud.
I'm not hot under the collar in the slightest, I'm posting these replies with a smile on my face frankly. I also haven't made a big deal out of it. I said I thought it was fine. You replied with a smart arse comment and I called you out on that, but then I thought it was supposed to be said in that way with a bit of humour to it. You exploded and started writing 1000 word responses, not me. You went off on the tangent about everything Cellino, not me. Calm down, I disagree with you like I do with others. Don't take every so personal.
Hey'up Ristac, I think you forgot to mention the last bit of Shaks comments.... Regarding Sniffers posts, irrespective of how others find Sniffers posts, he's entitled to express his opinions as he sees them, same as you, Josh and others are entitled to express your opinions as you all see them, and all are entitled to express without malice. Leeds60 gave his opinions as he saw them, he was forced out imo because some ganged up on him. He wrote what he wrote and certain others kept replying, irrespective of what they thought of his posts; if he was so bad, why did certain people keep replying to his posts, or why didn't they just use the mute button? WJ was a great poster, totally agree there, I miss his sensible posts, even if I didn't agree with all of'em. You and everyone else are entitled to agree or disagree with mine or any others posts, but is their reason to attack some because they express a different opinion, or is it right to gang up on someone for same reasons? there is a mute button available, but people prefer to attack because they seem to like, and want to degrade people, more often than not to try and raise their own status in the eyes of others and/or seek some form of revenge. Regarding the Wood penalty, I'm going to challenge you on 2 things you said, no malice of course, "but you didn't like him scoring it". You made a statement here, but I never said I didn't like him scoring, all I said was "the penalty was unconvincing" you seem to have presumed I didn't like Wood scoring based on my comment "the penalty was unconvincing" also, I wasn't the one that made a big deal out of it. You also wrote, "Wood scored, it might not have been the best penalty ever" isn't that what I said, but in different words? This is one of the problems on forums, people twist things and/or don't read the post/comments properly. Those that choose to twist do so for their own agenda. This happened a lot on JA, the drearies would twist, or purposely disagree with the cheeries so they could attack them, it's the biggest reason imo for the divide, and in all honesty, this forum is slipping in the same direction. I left JA for those above reasons, so did Leeds60, but what happened to Leeds60 is the same as what happened on JA, but without the banning. I came over to Not606 because I found it to be a much better forum, I read the posts/comments a lot before signing up. Back then it was a great forum, I got on with everyone, as they did with me. Then Barber and Gaylord Hopkins came over, their first comments were an attack on me, then chippy jumped on their bandwagon because he already had an agenda against me, just like JA, he didn't like my replies when he attacked my comments. Chippy was the one who started the "I never went to matches" saga, because back then he had his agenda. Same as on JA, I never ever said, insinuated or suggested, in any way that I went to matches, I never mentioned anything in my match opinions/write ups that I went to a match, but did mention things that commentators said during the match, I even used the word commentator several times. You also believed Chippy and accused me of lieing because you thought/assumed my opinions/write ups were because you thought I went to the matches, so you told me, in a round about way that I'd lost all credibility in your eyes, all because one person had a personal agenda. For some people, not all, but for some people it's been the same agenda since, what they don't like is, I'm still here, so they've failed, but will continue to try. Sorry Ristac, have to disagree, It's not blatantly obvious that I over rated the Italian imports, as I've said many times previously, I look at players differently, Berardi is a typical example. I look at what they have to offer the team, irrespective of where they come from, or who brought'em in; they wore the Leeds shirt and played for Leeds United. My opinions of some of the imports as you call'em are no different to your opinions of Cook or Wood, I don't rate Cook or Wood as impact players for Leeds, yet, some are trying to convince me of what you accused me of doing "The problem is you have kind of made a name for yourself in that it is blatantly obvious you overrated the foreign Italian imports trying to persuade the rest of us how great they were/are even if many felt they were poor". Aren't some trying to convince me how great Cook and Wood is? What happens in future regarding Cook is going to happen either way, but while he was at Leeds, I don't see any impact. Ok, I think I've got everything off my chest, again, I'm sure I'll probably have to do it again sometime in future, same old same old type of thing. Rest assured Ristac, there's no malice towards you whatsoever.
Girls, girls..........steady on! One thing you can say about the wallies, we love each other and don't carry on like pork chops and swing handbags at each other. Just simmer, eh?
Just some pointers LL... 1) I liked Berardi from day one, always have done, I prefer Bellusci over Bamba and still do and at the start of the season I wanted Antenucci over Wood, that changed midway. All my posts are there for you to check 2) I was for Cellino on day one, we needed his cash and I changed after he continued to tell lies and his poor running of the club. At the start of last season I was positive about him as he was doing positive things, that changed as he started to screw up again. 3) My comment regarding you wanting Wood to miss, yes it was an assumption but please be honest and admit it that you wanted him to so that you could proove your opinion of him being no good. 4) You have it so very wrong regarding Leeds60 but I refuse to drag it all up again, he isn't here to defend. 5) Totally agree, Sniffer is entitled to an opinion however absurd I think they are, hence why I ignore and avoid 99% of his posts, before you ask it was different with 60 as he aimed many at me. 6) I might be wrong, I think it was WJ who first brought it to everyone's attention that you didn't attend games yet posted in a style that suggested otherwise. 7) I have visited JA a few times, I don't like the layout or I might post more. I like it here and I have no idea how it compares to JA in regards the quality of the posting. As for drear and cheer, we have far more positive Percy's on this forum, it usually changes just before Christmas Finally you would have to be blind to not see that you receive some abuse from some members. I don't agree with it, I think sometimes it is a little too strong but then that is my opinion. There is a lot of 'banter' and 'fishing' that goes on, it isn't my thing so again I avoid it most of the time, not always. Behind a keyboard with no facial expression it is easy to overstep the mark or be taken the wrong way
