every year there has been a boo boy for the feckwitts to target, i wonder if TVOC has a record of who it was for each season?

It's G1 that keeps those sort of records round here and gawd bless him for doing so.

IIRC only LPG has ever mentioned cutting Donald prior to this season starting which I would agree was an out of the box suggestion.

I have said a few times I wouldn't be too upset if both donald and kylie left at the end of the year! As good as they are for us, and I'm not trying to criticise either player, I just think a premium should be placed on overseas players especially ones around 30.

If we were to lose donald and go with smith and hall on the wings I would be happier than keeping donald and not being able to bring in a centre like soliola

As for kylie, he does a job but there are better English players outthere especially lynch who is ooc at the end of the year

Besides Peacock and Graham there isnt a better prop than Kylie in SL, and neither of them hit like a pre slimfast Kylie either.

Lynch? You're not being serious are you?

Donald would be surplus for me, his ginger hair is an issue.

Lynch would make an excellent signing but I can see a few clubs being interested which immediately makes it highly improbable that he would end up at Headingley.

According to King Monkey he was supposed to sign for us earlier in his career but leeds messed him about so i doubt wether he'd be interested anyway.

I did. Like I've said before, a reasoned critique when its' merited.

What I didn't do was make fekkwitted references to him being a softc*ck or having a heart of a pea. Granted the main culprits have been LPG. titchy tinwand and DISA and one does have to make allowances for our special needs posters but its' one thing commenting on how our coaching guru's masterstroke is a dumb idea and another calling for the club to release a dream team winger or using facile insults towards him.

Kylie was a passenger and a defensive liability Sunday.

Lynch would improve our pack immeasurably.

Don't bother listening to him, he messes with people's minds. I don't see Leeds competing for his signature anyway but he'd fit what Leeds are lacking perfectly.

I think I'm probably suffering from a bit of paranoia at the moment with your generalised catch all condemnation of an entire supporter base of which I feel inclusive.

I'll get it eventually.

And King Monkey is wrong.

He was always on Cas's books. Before going to Bradford when he decided he was leaving Cas, he sought out through his agent an offer from Leeds, and non was forthcoming, so he went for Bradford, which was the offer on the table along with two others.

He was a Leeds fan, and would have signed in an instant when he left Cas, but no offer was made. Wether it would happen now? He is still happy at Bradford though, or at least he says he is.

Youcan't make an omelet without breaking some Eggs.

Not sure what the relevance of that is but thought I'd post it anyway.

I'm tired today.
