no.its called having an opinion. just because you think he's Mr wonderful others might not. having met him once or twice at things I found him very arrogant. I didn't like him one little bit. and in my opinion, if I'm allowed to have one on your forum, I think he's the luckiest coach ever. inherit a top side and win things. top players leave and he struggles big time. sooner he goes the better. and there's plenty to come out yet.

And he's allowed an opinion on how to use his subs and who he selects/leaves out of the team but because people don't agree with him he's wrong (even when he's successful). Having read posts over the years I've found several posters on here to be very arrogant in my opinion if I'm allowed to have one on this forum. Maybe the times you met McDermott he had a similarly negative opinion of you and maybe fully justified.

So we're agreed everyone's allowed an opinion? Good.

So here's a question. Is anyone anywhere of the OPINION that BM's non-use of subs - particularly forwards - is a good idea?

How times change. Fondly remember this exchange from a little earlier in this epic thread:-

"Any criticism of Brian tonight is well wide of the mark and very harsh.

He's a quality coach with the sliverware to prove it."

To which Brian's current BFF replied


"F**k it let's be blunt on this occasion....

P*$$ off w**ker."

Given it was towards a troll who only ever came into this board to reignite this thread after s Leeds loss then fully justified. But that context was conveniently missing from tvoc.

I'm sure you're as equally disgusted when people tell McDernott to f**k off or p*ss off etc.

I respect your opinion on Mac, of course everyone is entitled to one, but i have to pull you on the above. Smith and Bluey got this team at their absolute prime where Mac had most on the downward slope and at the fag end of their careers and has not had the quality of imports afforded to him that those two were.

He is very lucky however to be around at a time where the CEO seems to have lost his edge and drive. No way imo he would have still been in a job at Leeds were we to have performed whole 2016 through to start 2017 pre 2012.
