Scorching day sat in the stands. The game had a lot more intensity and forward drive than many of the games last season. Especially 1st half. Cotter looks class , long throw a nice extra option.

I guess it’s quality over quantity.

I mean this is a public space and you literally publicly denigrated a whole community. I can tell you aren’t going to apologise at the moment so we’ll leave it there mate.

Fair enough. Just don’t like every person in my home town to be called a scab 40 years after the event. The situation was I’m sure you are aware a lot more nuanced than that. It’s like calling all scousers thieves. It’s a little lazy on the stereotypes. I think we are better than that right ?

Fantastic sci-fi, a proper old fashioned page turner.

Such a poor performance. Let’s hope this prompts another post-Salford bounce back.

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
