On the now-locked thread, an accusation:

Last week you mocked me because, in your words, 99% of Bradford fans did not boo as it would be unacceptable.
was made which - since its in the public domain - I'd like to answer. Then I will refer to it no more.
As I said, I do not recognise that as a quote from me. What I DO recognise is these exchanges, from just before the Leeds match on a thread suggesting we should actually get behind the team:

exactly and we should be 100% behind the team until the final whistle imo.

I actually think that it is open season now to be honest. After all, it is the coach that will be rightly booed.

Then you're more of an idiot than you normally portray yourself as.

Booing the coach? During the match?
That's really going to motivate the team, and sound really good on TV.
Well, I guess if you think you are the perfect man, doing your pious duty to lead those who have strayed from the true path back into the darkness of melancholia that you revel in, that would make a load of sense.
But to true supporters, I suggest it just looks like proving you are an utter and complete pillock.
The "debate" continued, but I won't bore people with the details (check out the thread if you can;t sleep) since apart from some limited backsliding from ME, little of worth was added.
Then, we had, post-match:

Best atmosphere in the ground for many a day.
The fans probably made a lot of difference tonight.
Makes those who said it was open season on the coach to boo him as soon as he appeared look very foolish and marginalised now.

Why does it.

Easy. Because it was clear that 99% of the Bulls fans in the ground disagreed.
Now: I presume this is the exchange where I allegedly said "99% of Bradford fans did not boo as it would be unacceptable" or words to that effect?
If so, I would suggest that - once again - ME has twisted and corrupted what was actually said, and used it out of context. In particular, you will see that the discussion was specifically about the coach being booed when he came out, and my "99%" was clearly referring to the fact that when he DID come out and when his face WAS shown on the big screen you heard little if any booing.
So, ME, I state that your allegation was untruthful.
But I leave the readers to judge for themselves.
