However it's the sheer length and breadth of what is posted (and I get accused of being "wordy"!), coupled with her own contribution to the "snide comment" volume that prompted my comment.

As an example, all the stuff about the Balkans and other Eastern European parts in the Branding thread, I mean, WTF?

Anyway, with due respect and acknowledging what you say, I think I'll carry on regardless and see how things pan out.

I am fair to you and only ask how YOU formulate your view and opinions on Leeds and football.

I'm open to how I form my opinion and views and am sorry you find the facts boring that I share - don't read my comments .......... simples.
For me I try to accommodate balance for formulation of opinion before expression.

1.I choose the subject or issue I feel the need to have an opinion about. ...
2.I look at the process of forming an opinion as an internal argument with myself , a mental debate, so to speak. ...
3.I learn about the subject. ...
4.I talk to other people and get their opinions on the subject, and weigh the reasons they feel like they do....

5.Then I'll express it the best way I can for for whatever such opinion requirement.....

This whole thread was more about observations,encounters within football and global responses - views from fans,corporations and club owners all thrown in purely for interest and hopefully for folks to digest and have a better understanding of matters within the game which is now global and as such has a consequence on our club which is full of staff with multi-national ideas derived from cultural background of various history which all plays a part decision wise.
Have a nice day.

It's so much second nature you don't even know you're doing it, sad really.

Read the 5th paragraph of you reply to Mrs O, prior to which both you and she was lyrical about the qualities of LS Lowry, sounding for all the world like a couple of right luvvies (the clue is the reference to "mindnumbingly boring diatribes", although pan calling kettle springs to mind).

Anyway, as I said, it's all water of ducks back, usually.

ah, i was refering to ALL your posts rather than anything particular.

It's kind of sweet that I seem to have been able, through no effort on my part that I'm aware of, to get under the skin of you, WS, LeedsUtdMan, Jimmy, etc etc etc etc, and yet you continue to respond when I post, dichotomy, you think?

Of course, you could all stop responding, but then this place would be like some ghost town in the mid west, where the only thing happening is the tumbleweeds blowing back and forth.

Anyway, keep up the good work. ;D

WTF 11 rudely attacked me for mentioning my Balklans trip .............. one reason for that trip was to help various parties to firmly establish contacts.

Leeds this month signed a talented young'un Oliver Å*arkić who is a Montenegrin U21 professional footballer who played for Benficas ranks.Hopefully like Alioski from Macedonia he'll also do well so there are obviously gems to be found in the Balklans - an area that Leeds now scout in ........... for the record.

To add an insight to anyone interested in what is happening 'football wise' in that part of the world feel free to read on.

The resurgence in Balkan teams at national level has also reignited the Balkan League debate. Bosnia & Herzegovina made their World Cup debut at the last tournament and also managed to reach the playoff stage for Euro 2016, as did Slovenia. Croatia and Albania went one better and qualified for the tournament.

Putting the security questions to one side such a League could be possible by the league’s exposure to television (hence my visit).As the league increases its popularity across the region it could also spread to Western Europe too. The Balkans has huge expatriate communities in Germany and Switzerland also the UK whom would likely take an interest. As BT Sport and Sky try to grab as many European leagues as possible in their quest for dominance of the UK airwaves, there could be a market for a Balkan League there too.Plenty of positives but alas negatives as there is also the presence of ultra political groups such as Dinamo Zagreb’s Bad Blue Boys and Red Star’s Delije, who need no excuse to renew hostilities over history and politics.Similar issues with Serbian and Croatian clubs too who've always been closely tied politically in their respective countries too. As community organisations all the Serbian clubs are theoretically speaking owned by the fans who have their voice in the club through the election of representatives in a club assembly. The assembly then elects a President who later on appoints the rest of the Board.

So a Balkan Super League would make sense as it would ensure greater competition within the top division and also keeps a widespread representation of countries within the top tier and entry to CL exposure.There would be greater interest from fans across a wider area, increase the league’s competitiveness and also maintain the commitment of TV companies and the opportunity for players to showcase skills which in turn would create new avenues of opportunity for such clubs like Leeds to maximise on recruitment wise - as I stated above the Radz has invested in the Balkan areas which suggests our owner long term is subtlety covering clever options developing following all leads available.................
